Train

The only train line in Montenegro which you are likely to use is that running from Bar to Podgorica, Kolašin, Mojkovac and Bijelo Polje (and on to Belgrade). Slightly slower than the bus, it is nevertheless a spectacular feat of engineering, plunging through the mountains in an endless succession of tunnels and bridges (including one of the highest viaducts in Europe) on its route to the border. The poor condition of some of Montenegro’s rolling stock was highlighted by a major rail crash in early 2006, just north of Podgorica.

Taxi

Organizing a taxi from the end of a bus route to the start of a walk will be necessary for some of the routes in this guide (for example from the village of Kolašin to the beginning of the walk on Komovi, Route 11). This is straightforward enough, and if there are no taxis visible you can ask someone in a National Park office, shop or kiosk, who is almost certain to know someone with a car who is prepared to take you, for a reasonable price. You may need to know a few words or phrases in Serbian to explain where you want to go. Where relevant, details of where to ask and how much you should expect to pay are given in the transport information at the beginning of each route. Prices are quite reasonable: Andrijevica to Veruša via Treškovac (approximately 60km) shouldn’t be more than €40, Podgorica city centre to airport €10.
