Bridge to Kotor's North Gate

As soon as you enter the city, you can first visit the cat colony on the right :) From the outside you have a wonderful view of the wall that leads up the mountain.

The path in some areas is dangerous due to luck of "rail rope" for holding in one segment.
Definitely not for beginners.
Breathtaking views and nature around!

April 23, 2023,Kotor - Pestingrad und die vertikale zurück

The weird crease down the middle is a mistake. I simply have the route. Not seen markings and just had to go back. The route is very easy up to km11, only the vertical down has to be done with caution.

A wonderful hike that, leaving aside the path from the car park, starts directly behind one of the city gates of Kotor.
We chose the serpentines for the ascent, and the 1350 steps from the fortress to Kotor for the descent (€15 per person).
The classic, serpentines and stairs, has significantly less elevation and is also much shorter.
We hung …

The "Head of Kotor" is the name of the old mule path, which was the only way from Kotor to the hinterland before the road was built.
It goes uphill in many serpentines, but the path is pleasant to walk and it only gets really steep at the end. At first you walk through fig and pomegranate bushes, later there …

We start the tour on the outskirts of the city. The parking lot here is free and you avoid some of the daily traffic jams. If you want a beautiful and not too difficult panoramic tour, just walk the 70 serpentines and back again. The view is beautiful! The tour is easy to do in the rain! Burning sun makes …

May 30, 2022,Kotor - fortress - Café Nevjesta jadrana - loop

This is a long hike but not difficult if you are reasonably fit. We went through the castle (you have to pay the entrance fee) where there is a very nice view over Kotor. To exit the fortress, you have to go through a window and climb down a little wooden ladder. Further up, at the fork, we went right …
