June 13, 2025,Kotor - Stadttor in die Stadt - Altstadt - Kathedrale des hl. Typhon - Anfang des Festungspfades - Castel St. John/Illyrische Festung - Beach - Stadtmauer von Kotor

Kotor, a city on Montenegrin's Adriatic coast, has a long and storied history. Founded by the Romans as Acruvium, it rose to prominence as a fortified port city in the Middle Ages and changed hands several times over the centuries, including Byzantine, Serbian, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian rule. The Old Town, with its narrow streets, squares, and city walls, is a …

We actually wanted to use the passage from the fortress wall to the old chapel, but since the ladder was removed, the almost 2m down the rock was too risky for us - hence the detour down and up again on the other side 🫣

April 30, 2025,Kotor 🇲🇪 Wanderung zur Festung Sveti Ivan

Kotor in Montenegro - a dream. Even entering the Bay of Kotor was an experience, and our ascent to Sveti Ivan was another. The 1,350 to 1,450 steps (the entries differ here) lead up to the top, with increasingly beautiful views of the Bay of Kotor. If you don't want to go back the same way, you can climb through …

May 3, 2023,Kotor - Bucht von Kotor

An old town in great shape - narrow lanes, cobblestone, old walls and a fortress behind (encircled by mid century walls and added by venecian architectual structures). Try Moritz Icecream. Recommendable time for the fort: morning or early evening.

April 20, 2022,Kotor - Festung und Altstadt

Short prologue: Yesterday we spontaneously decided to leave the north a day earlier (i.e. today) because heavy snowfall was announced, which also happened overnight. To get an idea, I snuck in picture #33; this morning the streets were no longer visible and there was no clearing service either 😅. But since I can publish this tour, we got out of …

September 18, 2024,Kotor mit Blick aufs Meer

Today we went ashore in Kotor. A very pretty little town with winding roads and a beautiful view of the mountains. The best thing was the view from the old fortress down to the town and the bay. There are paths up though. One costs 15 euros per person, the other is free and is just a little climb at …

September 11, 2023,Kotor Stadtspaziergang und zur Burg

Getting to Montenegro to the border was less difficult than feared. But today wasn't our lucky day. The route the navigation system took us was the shortest and very picturesque with great views of the Bay of Kotor, but VERY winding and narrow. As a result, two coaches (!) met and could neither go forward nor back due to numerous …
