Žijevo, one day hiking tour
What can you do in Podgorica at + 42 C? Nothing, just run away as far as possible. Thanks to Marian from Slovakia, who needed company in the mountains, I did not spend the hottest day of the year in the stove of Podgorica. Our destination was the mountain massif of Žijevo, east of Podgorica, or to be precise, the peaks of Surdup (2185m) and Štitan. These mountains are not very popular among foreigners, but they still have a lot to offer: 14 peaks above 2000 m, two glacial lakes, numerous more or less demanding trails, around 60 routes in rocks of very good quality.. and all at 40 km from the capital city, what makes this mountain masiff perfect for those who wants to escape from beaches for one day...

Mount Žijevo-Kučke planine
Only 45 km away from the capital city of Podgoric is Mount Žijevo or Kučke mountains. These mountains with diverse mountain reliefs like valleys, steep rocky walls, 14 peaks over 2000 m, also hide two beautiful glacial lakes: Bukumirsko and Rikavačko. The highest peak is Surdup 2184 m. Due to their proximity Podgorica and good accessibility (not always in winter), these mountains are great for a one-day hiking tour from the city. The most popular tours starts from Bukumirsko Lake to the peaks of Surdup, Štitan and Pasjak, from Mokra to the Maglič peak or from Bukumirsko lake to Rikavačko lake with a possible accent on the Vila peak.
