Unfortunately, we have to realize that the weather in May is sometimes not that great after all, even though we have been really lucky the last few days and have been able to spend some really hot days by the sea. Unfortunately, the thermometer has only climbed to around 13 °C today and a few drops of rain had already fallen the previous evening. But we didn’t want the horror trip the day before to be in vain. So after a small stroll around the village Njeguši, which we’ve spent the night in, we set off for the Lovćen National Park, more precisely for Štirovnik, the highest peak in the national park (1748 m, link to the hike here). Luckily the clouds have cleared up a bit and from up here, we enjoy a magnificent view not only of Kotor Bay behind us, but also, facing the heartland, of Lovćen National Park and the whole of Montenegro beyond, as far as Lake Skardarsko in the south, through which the border with Albania runs, and the national parks in the north of the country towards Bosnia and Serbia. Scrambling back down, we head straight there, leaving Podgorica to the right, and reach a quiet campsite right on the Zeta River in the afternoon, just a few kilometers from Nikšić.
