Montenegro Mountains: Bay of Kotor to Prokletije

Serpentine, Durmitor ring and the Tara canyon in four linked days — coast to highlands

One country, four riding days, no gaps: start in the Bay of Kotor with the heritage circuit past Perast and Herceg Novi, climb the famous Kotor serpentine to the Horizont viewpoint, then ride north for the complete Durmitor ring with the Piva canyon and Šavnik, and finish east in the highlands of Kolašin, Plav and the Grebaje valley under the Prokletije peaks. Every stage is a published Atlas route with a verified GPX track; the two long transfers between them follow real roads and are included in the totals. The ride is one-way — it starts in Kotor and ends at Grebaje; the return to the coast is not part of the tour. From Gusinje or Plav it is an easy continuation into Kosovo (Peja via Rugova) or back across the Tara bridge toward Žabljak if you want to ride the ring again.
