Detailed itinerary

We take you on a panoramic route between two magical shores. Our trip we start from Bar and continue in direction to the National Park Skadar Lake. On this part of the route we will enjoy in panorama of Adriatic sea. First photo break we make on Stegvas lockout. It is a place from where you can see the seashore and a unique view of the picturesque landscape of Lake Skadar. If it is a clear day, we can also see neighboring Albania.

Near Ostros are the remains of the monastery complex Prečista Krajinska, one of the oldest monuments in Montenegro. You will also see the Great Well, which according to tradition, Prince Vladimir built in this waterless area. A special charm on the Panoramic route has the passage through the chestnut forest. In hot summer days, a great atmosphere is the thick shade of a chestnut forest whose trees are over a thousand years old. In this special place, we will please our senses, enjoy the view and taste of homemade wine or juice.

On the Panoramic route, after Stegvaš, we will see several lookouts, in Livari, Murići, and in Godinje. All the lookouts offer an impressive view of the natural beauty, the medieval monasteries on the islands of the Lake Skadar.

We visit the village of Godinje, the first protected rural unit in Montenegro with the status of a cultural asset. You will be delighted by the authentic architecture of ‘’house on house’’- a unique chain system of conjoined houses.

We arrive in Virpazar, a town that has a special significance for the history of Montenegro. Today Virpazar is the center of the rich rural area of Crmnica, known for its excellent wine cellars and quality local wine.

Return to Bar.
