Beautiful route. But at least in June 2014 the small section with the descent to and climb up from Sušičko Jezero was still gravel.

On the way to Durmitor is monastery Ostrog :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrog_monastery
I never visited it. It's supposed to be too crowded in season (it's off season now).

Have a nice time (no snow I hope).

The route I am planning is to go to the Tara bridge and ask the Border guard if I can go through and barrier to take the road on the right along the side of the River Tara then up and over towards Lake Sušičko then go towards Zabljak.

The Monastery at Ostrog was great

The road was easy going today and I made some good time.
I pulled off at the side of the road and stopped to have some food which I got from the supermarket last night







On the way I stopped at the Monastery Ostrog near Stubica N42.67475 E19.03088. It was a great sight to see and it is built in to the side of a mountain.

The camp site is ok, I don’t know if I have to pay. No one about. But there is a restaurant about 25m away so I will be going there. They have wifi so I can get todays report up loaded. Sat in the sun, 17 degrees C, typing this up and taking the photos from phone.






With a nice view

Tomorrow I am going to the Tara Bridge and then right around the back of Durmitor.

Day 29 Balkans Trip
Day 29 Balkans Trip

Had an awesome ride today. The Scenery was outstanding. I traveled from Pulzine to Kolasin via Lake Susicko and Lubljak. The route was to take me around the back of Durmitor National Park and up some great climbs

On route to the Montenegro/Bosnia Border the sun was trying to break through as I went down the Piva Canyon and over the Dam. Then it was time for a fruit tea before going through the border to take the Tara Canyon road. It was only about 0800 and still a bit nippy.

Looking the other way

Then over the bridge






Further on down the road

Wauu, I like your report too. I was "visiting" most of the places "in person", but it's always nice to seen them again.
