Kotor to Fortress to Lovcen National Park, August 13, 2017

This was a constant uphill battle. From The Kotor city laying just above sea level, it took 1km and 270m in ascent to reach the top of the fortress. From the fortress you crawl through a window and follow the trail 5km to reach the road. You stay on the road another 12km to reach the peak of Lovcen. Little did I know the google map points to the prohibited military zone instead of the monastary. The total hike from the city to Lovcen was 18km, with 1700m in elevation gain. It was really hot, and my tendons were stretching beyond my confort level. This took about 3-3.5 hours. Luckily I hitch hiked back down :D The road was also swirwing back and forth so the ride did take 30 minutes.
