I'll enter montenegro from Serbia or Kosovo, comming from Romenia.

My road preference is in this order gravel roads, small roads and only use main if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere or there is no other option and avoid main atractions full of turists.

Cheers,
Joe

It would be better if you can enter Montenegro from Bosnia side.
there is one really nice road combined of gravel, old and little of main road.
And if you never been to Bosnia it's really nice country to see.

First part:

Second part
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=U...sz=13&t=m&z=10

All these roads are connected with gravel roads so dont worry.
If you pick them, I will send you precise info.

But if you still prefer to enter from Serbia or Kosovo, I need to check something and in few days will give you back answer.

Seems like a nice road, is that an official border crossing?
I was thinking of trying to take the crossing near Avtovac, as far as I could see in Google Maps that would be gravel as well, but maybe not as nice.

Yes, that's official border crossing.
But from border you have some 20 km of gravel road.
When you cross bosninan border you going to check on Montenegro border but then you need to go back some 50 meters and then enetering gavel road.

I don't know about this Avtovac crossing. Need to check it and then I will send you some info.

Those roads look awesome, I'll try to do them if time permits me to turn back up but if you have information about Servia or Kosovo it add better to the track I was planning to do.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Joe

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.



All times are GMT +1. The time now is 22:57.
