Montenegro and the Adriatic Coast

From soaring limestone peaks in the north to classic Venetian towns along the blue Adriatic, Montenegro is one of Europe&#39;s hidden gems&mdash;uncrowded and perfect for WT-style hiking. We&#39;ll hike our way from the alpine world of Durmitor and Biogradska Gora national parks to the gorgeous coast at the Bay of Kotor, Europe&#39;s southernmost fjord. Along the way, we hike sections of the Balkans&#39; Via Dinarica, a &#8220;mega trail&#8221; from Slovenia to Albania (and named Best New Trail by Outside magazine in 2014), discover Montenegro&#39;s cultural patchwork, and sample delightful cuisine that reflects the region&#39;s blend of east and west. 正规的电竞竞猜软件最后发现正规的电竞竞猜软件徒步沿着海湾的旧共和国武士, one of the most spectacular settings on the entire Adriatic Coast.<\/p>","Long_Description":"
