An unforgettable cycling route with breathtaking views around the Bay of Kotor β often called a lake, but in fact the southernmost βfjordβ in Europe.
One lap around the bay is 44 km β a ride that will steal your breath and fill your soul with awe.
But hereβs the real challenge: donβt stop at just one. Go for a double loop.
π The first β slow, unhurried, soaking in every reflection of the mountains in the turquoise waters, every scent of pine and sea breeze.
π The second β full speed, tires whistling, wind slicing through the air, freedom and adrenaline rushing through your veins.
Our route:
β’ π΄ββοΈ Start from Kotor
β’ Through Perast, Risan, Lipci
β’ β΄οΈ With the Kamenari β Lepetane ferry (10 min, free for cyclists)
β’ π Finish back in Kotor
π Distance: 44 km (per lap)
β°οΈ Elevation gain: 206 m

π About the Bay of Kotor
β’ Often called a βlakeβ because of its calm waters
β’ In fact, itβs a ria (a submerged river canyon), carved deep into the Adriatic coast
β’ Considered one of the most beautiful bays in Europe β often compared to the fjords of Norway and Lake Como
βΈ»
π£οΈ The Road Surface
β’ Mostly smooth asphalt β perfect for cycling
β’ Some rougher sections for character
β’ Hidden spots along the shore, with small grassy beaches
βΈ»
π The Views
β’ Turquoise waters, red rooftops, and stone houses
β’ Dramatic green mountains and steep slopes reflected in the water
β’ Air filled with the scent of pine, sea breeze, and timeless romance
βΈ»
π©± If you bring your swimsuit
β’ Stop and dive into the crystal-clear water
β’ The perfect reward after pedaling
βΈ»
π The Challenge
β’ One lap (44 km) took us 2.5 hours, because we gave in to the beauty around us
β’ According to unofficial data, the record is about 1 hour π
β’ But the true test of spirit is the double lap β the first for the heart, the second for the soul and the thrill of speed!
β’ Dare to try it β and maybe your name will echo around the bay as the new legend of the Fjord of the South β‘
