Ladder of Kotor Trail

Highlight • Trail

Not sure if there was an actual ladder here but the opening is now partially closed with freshly mortared stones and no ladder is present. There is no way to get in form outside of the fortress walls and getting out from inside is quite dangerous and absolutely not recommended. Posted two photos ✌️

St. John Fortress (Sveti Ivan Fortress)

Highlight • Castle

The fortress of Sveti Ivan or as the locals call it, the castle of San Giovanni is located above the old town of Kotor on the steep mountain slope. The fortification was built to protect the city from invaders.
1350 steps lead to the top. The castle was built 280 meters above sea level. The church of "Our Lady", which stands at a height of 100 meters, dates back to the 16th century.

Stone Path With View of the Bay of Kotor

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

12 bends await you on the first section of the climb up to the first fork in the road at 200 m. The paths are wide, gravelled and the gradient is moderate.
At the crossroads at 200 m there is a farmer's hut. There are plenty of places to sit and drinks are available.
