TET Montenegro | Two Friends, One Adventure

After four intense days traveling through Bosnia, I finally met up with my friend Mika in Žabljak, Montenegro. Together, we tackled challenging routes and were rewarded with breathtaking landscapes. I rode my KTM 890 Adventure R while Mika was on his trusty old Honda Transalp. Our journey took us from Brazilek to the majestic Durmitor and Prutaš, then to the serene Black Lake and the dense forests of Biogradska Gora. We continued through Kolašin, riding through its ski slopes, and marveled at the rugged beauty of Prokletije Mountain. Our adventure didn’t stop there; we returned to Serbia and explored the off-road trails in Zlatibor. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with both challenges and stunning scenery.

After four days of solo traveling in Bosnia I arranged to meet up with my friend for a ride through Montenegro. I agreed with Mika that we will meet in Montenegro at Zabljak place. I need to be there until 12 o’clock. The night before was quite interesting as I chatted with some veteran bikers from Germany who shared their fascinating stories of traveling all around the world. That border crossing where I am going now is one of the coolest border crossings that I ever saw. Because it has wooden bridge that you need to cross. You will see. Now we are close to that border that I already mentioned. This is the border crossing. It is really nice. And now I am in Montenegro. Have you ever seen the crossing in the tunnel? Oups, I need to go left. I should soon meet with Mika on fuel station. He is waiting for me. How is it going Milose? Has the Paraćin burger arrived in Montenegro? Absolutely! After a quick lunch, we planned our route for the day and set off on our journey. What a feeling to have a live conversation with someone after a few days of solitude. First we are going to Vrazje lake and then we are going to the whole thing that I did already. After visiting the amazing lake, our next pit stop was Prutaš, one of the most beautiful, popular, and largest peaks in the Durmitor range. I successfully convinced Mika to go to TET because there is an offroad to the right. Actually, I needed one more round of negotiations. There is no slope. How can there be none when we are on Durmitor? Do you believe me that I’ve already passed through here? I believe you, but I don’t believe it’s easy. It’s easy, trust me. At one point, Mika smelled what seemed like a fuel leak, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Chicken way! That’s it, Mika! This guy is following TET with 4×4 defender. Crazy German guy! Did you see who is in the car? Who? Memedovic! Swear! I remembered that I have a friend in Žabljak, so I arranged a place for us to stay. Hi brother, welcome! Thank you, good to see you too! Summarizing the day and making plans for the next, it was time to gather energy for new adventures. Since we were very close to the Black Lake, we decided to start the next day with a hiking tour instead of jumping on the motorcycles right away. Our first destination was Biogradska Gora, and the navigation led us through the Tara Canyon. The road through this canyon was amazing! Good afternoon! Two. Thank you! Do we need to show this somewhere? Thank you! To enter the national park, there’s a fee of 5 euros per person, but trust me, it’s well worth it. We are going to that peak. Lady at the reception said that is really beautiful. You can see the lake and the whole mountain. So let’s check! Uf, uf! At this moment, I realized the drawbacks of having hard luggage on the motorcycle in off-road terrain. Luckily, nothing happened. All good. I hit the foot peg. I’m going to scout the area. Which way to Belgrade? Watch out not to push me. Cmon! Let’s put it back in reverse. Let’s go down by the shortest route. You can’t give up because of something like this. I can’t hold this. Somehow, after this incident, I successfully convinced Mika to continue along the planned route instead of returning the same way. This decision turned out to be incredibly rewarding. This is not on a TET route but it should definitely be on a TET route. Look at the view! We switched the bikes because Mika has a problem with hard luggage. It is also a small clearance so I need to be really careful when I see the rocks in front of me. I think that Mika really likes my KTM. It turned out that I had booked a really luxurious apartment in Kolašin for a very cheap price. What a reward for a somewhat exhausting day! Bye bye! Good morning and welcome to another day of the journey. The plan for today is to go to Plav Lake which is based in Prokletije national park. Probably, we will hit some off-road there, and then after that we will go to Serbia. Since we didn’t like the lake and there was nothing interesting to see, we quickly finished our lunch and continued towards our main destination for the day Prokletije Mountain. This lake is nothing special. A lot of garbage around the lake We just quickly had a lunch and now we are going to Prokletije mountain. This is Prokletije mountain from the Montenegrin side. Here, take the motorcycle. Come on, what’s the worst that could happen. Remember how yesterday was. Sit on the motorcycle and start it! Good old Honda again! To find neutral is even harder then on KTM. Op, op, there it is! So we will now switch the bikes and I will see what is the distance and I will try to reach the top with my bike. Hello! Can I go uphill? How far are you going? I was thinking of going to the Zaston hut. It will take you 20 minutes. 20 minutes? Thank you very much for the information! Good bye! Since the policeman said it would take 20 minutes to reach the top, I considered turning back because Mika was waiting for me. However, I decided to continue, and it took me no more than 5 minutes, as the policeman had estimated based on a car’s pace. Ihaaa! It hasn’t been driven much, grandma drove it, it’s never been off-road. Sorry! It was not my intention. Sorry! Pro tip always keep some sweets in your pockets in case someone gives you their spot at the border. We booked the apartment in Nova Varos. And for tomorrow I have some off-road tracks for the Zlatibor mountain. And I think that we will drive that track tomorrow. With off-road tracks in our navigation, the only preparation we needed for the day was a good breakfast. We had some good burek! And now we are going to Zlatibor! !@#$ As Mika didn’t see this fall, I’ll take this opportunity to say: Sorry, baki, that wasn’t done on purpose. It was time to say goodbye to both the good old Honda and Mika. We went our separate ways, and I continued alone towards home. I thought back on all the laughter, the challenges we overcame, and the moments of wonder we shared during the journey. These memories helped keep me entertained and avoid boredom on the highway that marked the end of this adventure. Until the next one, good bye!
