Hello from Austria

Now the Winter has gone :) the bikes are out from the garage, and i try to finish my travel planning for the trip to Bosnia and Montenegro in June this year.

I been last year via this border cross,but the road is not so good.Any way you can pass there.
I would suggest that you go via Trebinje and then to Niksic.Road is nice and much safer!
It is right on the bottom of you map where is last minus sign on border line.

The road that your map is referring to is an old road, and used for locals that are traveling from and in country. For entering Montenegro from Bosnia, you should use remaining two (that Poka stated in his previous post).

@ all
thank you for the responding

we come offroad upon Kalinovik - Lake Orlovachko - Cemerno and so this Bordercrossing fits better in my route planning to Niksic
but when this point is not a official Bordercrossing for foreigners there can be problems with border police :think: (when we meet borderpolice)

thank you all for your answer

the macadam road over the ridge Lebrsnik near Cemerno and further on to the Klinje Jezero and the Bordercrossing Krstac looks very fine, but i think on the basic of the information from "poka" the Bordercrossing is not allowed for foreigners.

Thank you poka for the important information.

But is no problem we turn our planning and come in via Hum- Scepan polje and ride the Susicka Canyon to Zabljak first :) Overnight in Zabljak
Day 2: Zabljak - Sinjajevina direction Niksic

who knows a good Location near or in Niksic for stay overnight ? Maybe we make a Basecamp in Niksic so we can ride with lightweight to Kapetanov Jezero :)

Day 3: Kapetanov Jezero

Biogradsko Jezero
over the Mountains direction south to Eko Katun Tresnevik - Matesevo - Verusa - Bukuminsko Jezero - Rikavacko Jezero - Podgorica
this is a rough overview of our travel in Mne
