The TT5 route takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes of Montenegro – from Cetinje and Rijeka Crnojevića, across Lake Skadar and Crmnica, all the way to Ulcinj and Ada Bojana. The journey is not easy, but with good planning and a positive spirit it offers an unforgettable experience of nature, history, and local traditions.
