Welcome to the rugged heart of Montenegro, where a third day of motorcycling full of adventure and impressive landscapes awaits you. Today you will explore the winding roads between the picturesque Niksic and the breathtaking Durmitor National Park. But be warned: this is not just any ride. You will ride through an area where nature still reigns, past deep gorges, dense forests and clear blue lakes. Don't forget to set your navigation correctly, because along the way you can easily become enchanted by the beauty around you.

We start the day at the charming hotel Koliba Bogetići, just south of Niksic. A hearty breakfast is not an unnecessary luxury here. Niksic itself is a typical Montenegrin town with a relaxed atmosphere and a rich history. Before you leave, it is wise to do some shopping for a picnic here. There are few places along the route where you can stop for an extensive lunch. The local market offers a range of fresh products: cheese, dried ham, fresh bread and fruit. Fill your bags, because the journey ahead requires energy.

Leaving Niksic behind, you are soon greeted by wonderfully winding roads. The first few kilometres you drive through densely forested areas. Every now and then you drive out of the forests and have a magnificent view of rolling hills. Slowly you climb up and also above the tree line. The rough landscape is impressive. Eventually you are at an altitude of about 1500 metres. A few hairpin bends later you are again among lush greenery, at Restoran Moje Selo. Take a moment for a break, because there are not many options along the way. Fortunately, stopping here is no punishment.

After a nice break, the route continues north where you cross the Bukovica River. This fast-flowing, crystal-clear river meanders through the landscape and is a true source of life for the surrounding nature. As you drive along its banks, you can see the shadow of the mountains reflected in the water. This river is a perfect place for a short break to stretch your legs and enjoy the soothing sound of the rippling water.

The road takes you further to the Nevidio Canyon, Montenegro's most mysterious gorge. The name says it all: "Nevidio" means "unseen". This gorge was impenetrable to humans for a long time and was only fully explored in 1965. With steep rock walls that are sometimes barely a meter apart, it is a paradise for adventurers. Even from the road you can catch a glimpse of the impressive depths of the gorge, through which the waters of the Komarnica River squeeze at a dizzying speed. Here you feel small compared to the forces of nature.

After Nevidio Canyon, you head to a hidden gem: Lake Oko. This small, perfectly round lake, also called the "Eye of the Mountain", is an oasis of tranquility due to its emerald green color. It is an ideal place to stop for a while and enjoy the serene surroundings. Park your bike and walk around the lake. The mystical atmosphere and the mirror-like surface of the water give you a chance to catch your breath before continuing to the next destination.

20 kilometers further you will come to the Pivski Monastery. Built in the 16th century, this monastery is one of Montenegro's most important cultural monuments. It is hidden among the mountains and exudes a serene tranquility. The frescoes inside the church are remarkably well preserved and tell stories from the Bible and local history. Even if you are not a history buff, the tranquility of this place will certainly inspire you. A short walk through the monastery gardens will give you a glimpse into the life of the monks who still live here in silence.

Then, just when you think nature can’t get any more impressive, you reach the Piva Canyon. With a depth of over 1,000 meters and the turquoise color of the Piva River, this is one of the most beautiful gorges in Europe. The road winds along the edge of the canyon, offering breathtaking views at every turn. This is the moment when you’re glad you’re on a bike: the freedom of riding, the wind in your face, and the sense of adventure coursing through your veins. This stretch of the route is pure joy for any biker, with challenging turns and views that will remain etched in your memory.

From the canyon it is not far to the end point... And yet... those kilometers are slow kilometers. Fortunately, on this part of the route you will come across two nice places to take a break: Milogora and Eko-Selo Durmitor. Both restaurants / bars are located close to each other and offer a nice terrace to take a break.

The last part of the route is a beautiful part through a rough landscape, the Durmitor National Park. You start a steep climb to an altitude of 1900 meters, where you will visit two beautiful mountain passes on the way. The kilometers will certainly also go slowly because you will often stop for photos.

After this unforgettable journey, you will arrive in the heart of Durmitor National Park, in the town of Zabljak. Here the route ends at Casa di Pino Eco Lodge Apartments, an ideal place to end your adventure. Durmitor is known for its mountain peaks, glacial lakes and vast forests. It is a place where you can reminisce about the day’s impressions, perhaps while enjoying a local beer or a hearty Montenegrin dinner.
