Gita in bici di un giorno da Žabljak a Plužine

Get ready for a seriously scenic ride from Žabljak to Plužine! Starting out in Žabljak—the highest town in the Balkans and gateway to the stunning Durmitor National Park—you’ll be pedaling through some of Montenegro’s wildest and most dramatic mountain landscapes. The route rolls for about 47 km, with plenty of challenging climbs (over 2,000 meters of ascent!) and epic downhills, maxing out at just under 2,000 meters elevation.

Much of your journey winds along quiet roads and paths, giving you that peaceful high-altitude vibe. It’s mostly paved, though a few stretches might be a bit rough or “missing,” so bring a sense of adventure (and maybe a puncture kit).

As you descend into Plužine, perched above Lake Piva and surrounded by steep canyon walls, reward yourself with a lakeside break or a dip. Both towns are perfect bases for hiking and exploring, so don’t rush off too quickly—Montenegro’s natural wonders are worth soaking in!
