Overview of mountain biking route:

Durmitor Circular MTB route is situated in Montenegro on Durmitor mountain. The navigation is easy and most of the crossroads are labeled. I included the short hiking section to the Ćurevac sightseeing point of well know Tara canyon which is the longest canyon in the Europe. This round trail will give you good overview of Durmitor mountain. The route is fast and easy because most of the sections are placed on the paved road. The steep descent and ascent to the canyon of Sušica river are the most difficult sections of the route. During dry summer time there is no stream in the canyon. The route can be combined with Crno Jezero (Black Lake) route.





 
Getting there: Europe, Montenegro, Podgorica, Nikšić, Šavnik, Žabljak or Podgorica, Nikšić, Plužine, Trsa, Žabljak. For the last one before the trip check the snow conditions on the saddles between Trsa and Žabljak.

Description of MTB route:




 

The starting point of the mountain bike route is the main crossroad in the Žabljak city. Turn for Mojkovac and after about 240 meters on the next crossroad turn left on the paved road. After about 350 meters turn right and in the next turn climb to the village.  The next crossroad is the nice sightseeing point of Durmitor mountain.  Keep right and proceed along the forest. On the next crossroad turn right and proceed for about 3.2 km to visit Ćurevac. Leave the bike in the forest and turn right and hike on the labeled hiking path for Ćurevac sightseeing point. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Ćurevac. From Ćurevac hike back to the paved road and ride back to the last crossroad. Turn right on the paved road towards Sušica canyon. The long ascent section leads near Štuoc summit and then follows the long descent. In the village keep left on the first crossroad. The paved road turns into the carriageway that leads to the south to the edge of Sušica canyon. Follows a rocky carriageway with a steep descent. In Sušica canyon there is Sušica Hut. From Sušica canyon leads a steep ascent on the rocky carriageway to the 2nd side of the canyon. In Nedajno village the carriageway turns into paved road again. All next sections are placed on the paved road. Keep right in Nedajno village. On the next crossroad turn sharp left and proceed to Trsa village. In Trsa village turn left and than after 150 meters turn right to Pišče village. From Pišče village leads a longa scent to the first saddle before Todorov Do valley. The paved road passes near Prutaš summit and Dobri Dol valley than leads the next ascent to the last saddle near Sedlena Greda summit. From the saddle leads the long descent to Žabljak near the lake Valovito Jezero and Stožina peak. There is a spring of water Studenac on the right side of the paved road. At the last crossroad keep left and proceed straight to Žabljak city.  For more details check above Interactive Map and below Photo Gallery of the route.
