Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Žabljak

    Žabljak claims to be the highest town in the Balkans, at about 1,450 metres, and it sits on a plateau among the peaks of Durmitor, a national park and UNESCO World Heritage site in northern Montenegro. The town is small, a place of low houses and mountain lodges, and it exists mostly for hikers, skiers and the occasional motorcyclist who has made the effort to come this far. Pines and spruce close in around it, the nights are cool even in summer, and the snow comes early.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Žabljak sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Mojkovac.

  2. 2. Mojkovac

    Mojkovac is a small mining and railway town in the north of Montenegro, set where the Tara river runs between the high mountains of Bjelasica and Sinjajevina. It is not a town people travel far to see, but it sits at the right point on the map. Roads fan out from it toward Kolašin, Bijelo Polje and the road north to the Tara Canyon and Žabljak, so riders pass through often and many stop for fuel or lunch. The town has a long association with lead and zinc mining, and the railway linking Belgrade to the Adriatic runs nearby.
