Route

Tour profile / Level 3

The cycle tours require a good basic fitness, which the participants should have acquired through regular bicycling. The trips reach altitudes between 650 ft./ 200 and 1640 ft./ 500 m. The day trips of 18 mi./ 30 km – 38 mi. / 60 km on average traverse without time pressure hilly and mountainous terrain. Some steeper and longer ascents must also be tackled, but it is perfectly acceptable to push the bicycle if necessary. Most of the roads are asphalt and not used much outside the holiday season. A support vehicle accompanies most of the cycle tours.

Day 2: Cavtat – Herceg Novi, approx. 45 km/ 800 m of elevation

After passing the border the terrace -like bay of Kotor opens up. Along the coastal road we continue biking to Herceg Novi, which lies in the entrance to Kotor Bay.

Day 6: Cetinje - Lovćen – Kotor, approx. 50 km/900 m of elevation

After breakfast a transfer bus brings us up to Lovćen. Depending on our mood, we have the opportunity to leave the shuttle earlier in order to cycle a part of the ascent ourselves. From the highest point (more than 1,500 m above sea level) we can expect a rapid descent with spectacular views of the Bay of Kotor, surrounded by mountains reaching heights of up to 1,700 m. It is the largest and best-protected bay in the entire Adriatic. Today’s cycle tour leads us to Kotor. The town is almost 2,000 years old and famous for it’s medieval centre listed under UNESCO World Heritage protection.
