With Monte Mare Travel, on this hiking tour you will enjoy the beauty of a canyon that is still not sufficiently explored, yet is becoming increasingly popular with tourists and true nature lovers. At the very beginning of the tour, at the entrance to the canyon, we will see a small stone bridge that Prince Danilo built in 1858 in honor of his mother, who came from this area. The bridge was named "Danilo's Bridge." Next, walking along a path that runs right beside the rock, we will reach the "Gate of Wish," made up of two rocks connected at the top. Here we will take a short break.

You will enjoy the view of a calm and clear river, glowing in bright blue and green colors that bring peace and simplicity to visitors. A story is connected to this gate: the fairy from Maganik will fulfill your wish if you throw a jackstone into the river. Just a few steps away, you can hear the great noise of sparkling waterfalls, the most attractive of which are White Nerini. You will notice the thick vegetation that makes this ambience special.

And that is not the end. A special attraction of this part is a narrow passage cut into the rock by the army in 1973, led by General Danilo Jauković. In this way, the two villages of Mrtvo Duboko and Velje Duboko were connected, and the locals called it "Danilo's Road." After passing along this route, also known as "Mrtvičke Beams," we arrive at Stone Beach, the end point of the tour. Here we will have a short break to rest. After visiting this sparkling river, rich in springs, waterfalls, and wild rapids, and after passing through the rock in a way that seems absolutely impossible when viewed from afar, you will feel completely fulfilled and happy. You will want to visit it again.

This mountain hiking tour starts from the Sedlo bend, heading north with a mild climb. Already at the beginning, we will enjoy the beauty of the landscape as we pass grassy meadow trails and sharp rocky roads. We will stretch out beneath the rocks, after which we will enter the beautiful valley of Surutka, from where we can look up at the shape of our goal - Bobotov Kuk. On the way to the highest peak, we will find wells and refresh ourselves with drinking mountain water. Bobotov Kuk, together with No Name Peak (2487 m) and Damsel (Soa, 2440 m), forms the highest rocky ridge of Durmitor called Soa Heavenly, which means "The Underlay of the Sky."

We will enjoy the view of the Škrčka Lakes, called "mountain eyes," together with the rest of the Durmitor lake group, which includes a total of 18 glacier lakes. From the peaks of Durmitor, there is a wonderful view in all directions, which you will definitely capture in great photos.

Be a participant in this favorite mountain tour among tourists.

The tour is considered medium to heavy. The altitude difference from Sedlo to the top is 820 m. The final climb is technically more demanding - the last 20 minutes to the summit are rocky and require caution. However, the track has enough space to walk along its entire course, it is secured, and it allows for a safe step, so it is not risky despite being technically more demanding.
