Description
The tour departs from Kotor where guests board the Jeep and leave the old town behind. A short drive leads to the Trojica viewpoint above the city, offering views over the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor, its medieval walls, and surrounding mountains.
Continuing along Austro-Hungarian serpentines constructed in the late 19th century, the tour ascends towards Fort Gorazda. This well-preserved coastal defense fortification, used through WWII, offers historical insights and panoramic views of the bay.
Next, the route enters Vrmac Nature Park, a protected area between Tivat and Kotor Bays. Guests pause near Fort Vrmac to enjoy the peaceful forest setting before an off-road stretch leads to a viewpoint overlooking Kotor’s old town, the Lovćen serpentine road, and nearby limestone peaks.
The tour then stops at a quiet picnic spot with views of Tivat Bay, featuring traditional Montenegrin snacks like local prosciutto, cheese, olives, and fresh bread served in nature away from tourist crowds.
After the picnic, the Jeep follows a historic Austro-Hungarian off-road path to the summit of St. Ilija, the highest point of the Vrmac massif. This section offers expansive views including sea vistas on both sides, pine forests, old stone walls, and former military observation posts.
The return route descends the historic road back to Kotor, completing a circular tour that blends mountain landscapes, historical sites, military heritage, panoramic views, and local cuisine in a single experience.
