About this experience
We take you to the Vrmac peninsula for great mountain biking and downhill adventure.
Tour starts from Trojica pass with 4km uphill on regular road to the Fort Vrmac, which is on 480 meters above sea level. At the Vrmac fort we would have short break to overview the fort and enjoy the view. From this place we would go to Vrmac view point to take some nice photos over Kotor bay. Later on we continue to ride off road trough hiking path all way to the Saint Ilija peak, which is on 760 meters above sea level. Terrain is gravel and it is about 6km long.
This peak is unique in Kotor bay, because this is the only place from where you can see whole Kotor bay.
