Great pictures, wanted o cycle through Montenegro or Cerna Gora this year myself but had some
problems with getting money from the Bankomat's (Wrong credit-card) there so had to return. What I'm
wondering is what are the roads like in Durmitor is it like very rocky or is it possible to cycle
there with 37mm tires? Maybe you can tell me also about the campsites and their availability. Thanks

Peter

Actually, I don't know anything about campsites in that area. I was staying in hotel in Zabljak and
I knew that is possible to take room or apartment in the private houses. If you want low budget
vacation I can only recommend to you several nice places in my neighborhood in Sarajevo. Yes, it's
not some fancy place at this moment for vacation, but all my friends from abroad who visit are very
satisfied. Contact me over e-mail address for all addition information. All the best, Nino K.

I cycled through Montenegro april last year. I've seen campsites in Zabljak and on the cost, but
many were still closed. Options for wild camping were scant, the countryside is not fitting for it
(lack of flat spaces). It was quite possible to find hotels in the €15-€25 range. Even while 'only'
staying on roads, the scenery was spectacular. I used a 37mm tyre at front, a 32mm at the back. that
was absolutely enough, even at some dirt roads earlier on in that trip, in Serbia. Nino, a report of
my trip has been translated into Serbian, and appeared on Jovan Erakovic's site.
