Jeep day tour in Montenegro!

The route of the tour: PODGORICA – KUCKA KRAJINA – KOMOVI -KOLASIN – PODGORICA

Overview

Kuci Mountains, one of the less famous pearls of the Montenegrin Dinarides, is almost untouched, undisturbed and until recently a very hard-to-reach area. Even though they are quite close to the capital of Montenegro, this is a peaceful place located northeast of Podgorica, along the Montenegrin-Albanian border. Kucka Krajina is a vast karst plateau from which groups of mountain ranges, individual peaks and mountains rise.

Rikavac Lake, another discovery of magical natural harmony, is located below the magnificent and elegant 2093 meters high peak of Vila, at the point where the wreath of the Kuci Mountains separates from the Prokletije mountain range. This beautiful, clear, glacial lake lies at an altitude of 1313 meters. Interestingly, even today there is no electricity network or signal for mobile phones in this area.

The furthest area from the village in the region of Kuci is Carina Pass and Katun, an extraordinarily large area rich in water, vast pastures, and forests. There is also a church dedicated to Saint Elijah. Built at 1800 meters above sea level, it is a place of prayer at the highest altitude in Europe.

Komovi are not just mountains, they are an inexhaustible inspiration for poets, mountaineers and travel writers as well as for all the people who visit them in search of peace, beauty, freedom and tranquillity. After this panoramic tour, you will be able to understand why people always come back to Komovi, why they have been sung about since ancient times, why “fairies gather there and swim at their springs” and why hikers admire them.

Tour details:

On our Jeep day tour in Montenegro, we will depart from Podgorica at an early hour in the morning for our Montenegrin adventure. The old town of Medun, built as an ancient fortress, has a rich history and well-preserved architecture on the 13th kilometre of the asphalt road (40 km) to Korita. We take a break at Kucka Korita and then hike briefly to the viewpoint of Grlo sokolovo (“hawk’s throat”) located on the very Montenegrin-Albanian border. Here we take a photo break and enjoy the unique view over the wreath of the Albanian part of Prokletije (Albanian Alps). Any visitor to this area will be able to see the power of nature and the art of nature, both of which were extremely generous.

Then we continue off-road to the next point of our jeep safari tour – Lake Rikavac, located 15 km away from Korita. We pass the ruined old katuns of Kuci, summer cattle settlements, as we drive our 4WD vehicles across the crude limestone areas. It seems that in the last thousand years nothing has changed in this area except for this road made through the vast expanse of stone dunes. Then we arrive at the Velika Cafa Pass (1865m), and after a short break, we descend to Rikavac Lake riding down the serpentines. We take a long break here, enjoying the magic of a mountain lake and having a picnic.

After a break, we continue our Jeep day tour in Montenegro along the serpentines taking the dirt road up to Vucji Potok (Wolf Creek). Afterwards, we continue our ascent to Carine Passt, where is a church dedicated to Saint Elijah. Built at 1800 meters above sea level, it is a place of prayer at the highest altitude in Europe. We make a photo stop near the church and enjoy the landscape, completely different from the one in Kuci. It is surrounded by green pastures, forests, and the sharp peaks of Komovi. After the break, we continue the tour with our vehicles and descend through the beech forest following the Opasanica River towards the village of the same name. We pass through this village; continue to Mateševo and Kolašin taking the first Montenegrin highway road to return to Podgorica Capital City – the starting point of your Jeep day tour in Montenegro and an unforgettable journey.
