We got up a couple of hours before sunset, the view was amazing! The mountains are so illuminated, there is a haze along the coast. We managed to get down before dark) The descent/ascent is quite steep and rocky, you need good shoes, it will be even better with trekking poles.

A beautiful Serbian mountain and church at a height of 1594 m. It is located between the Adriatic Sea and Lake Skadar.

Adventurous road, from Stari Bar, takes about 45 minutes to the first house of worship, then a walk to the summit

Magnificent hike!! To access the trail, it is possible to take the car but the road is very rocky and uneven for about 1km. Otherwise you have to walk up for about 1 hour. It took us 1h40 to go up to the top of the mountain and a good hour to go down. From above you can see a good part of the country, the sea and Lake Skadar, incredible view
