Welcome to Durmitor National Park, a must-see of Montenegro's mountains. Pack your lunch and a couple of snacks because resupplies are scarce in this area –but greatly compensated by the views!

Let's dance the Balkans: a 12-stage cycle touring trip. Stage 4 from Durdevica Tara to Susica Canyon. After the Tara rest, a challenging stage awaits us with a generous 1700m of elevation gain, even if all on asphalt. The weather doesn't look great and after the first few kilometers to Zabliak, a downpour hits us, which we avoid by ducking into a market. We are inside the Durmitor park, climbing the coniferous forests give way to gently rolling meadows. It's drizzling but the temperatures hold up and the sky is painted with unreal colors, giving the landscapes a melancholic but pleasant appearance. On the climb, in the background, before the mist envelops everything, the rugged peaks of Bobotov Kuk appear, and other major reliefs in Montenegro. Today we will reach the maximum altitude of our journey (about 1950m above sea level), a Nameless Pass between the Tara Valley and the Susica Valley, which we travel along a winding road at high altitude. The disturbance reaches us. We stop in a bivouac along the road (reported by Komoot), time for a bit of rest and a snack and then we set off again. On the other side of the canyon, as if it were within reach but in reality a few kilometers away and above all with over 300m of positive altitude difference to cover, is Nedajno, our destination. Suddenly, from a private car without signs, a person in a park ranger's uniform (it must have actually been a park ranger!) comes out asking us €5 each for the entrance tickets to the park. We pay, then head down at breakneck speed into the Susica canyon, finishing the last climb under the pouring rain to the tiny Nedajno, where we stay at the Guest House Nedajno. The bad weather has cut off the electricity: no electricity and no water. Wet but happy, we refresh ourselves with a hot drink, while the very kind owner helps us dry our clothes on the stove. Dinner and breakfast with garden produce and some imported beers! A magnificent place for our adventure, with a warm welcome, kindness and everything we need to refresh ourselves!
