Hitching

Hitching is perfectly acceptable in the mountains (you may have less luck on the coast), and may provide a convenient way of getting between some of the more remote walks in this guide and the nearest bus stop. However, remember that hitching can never be recommended as entirely safe, particularly for women travelling alone.

WARNING – CROSS-BORDER TRAVEL

Although travel within Montenegro is perfectly safe, visitors are strongly advised against straying over the border into neighbouring countries (with the exception of those itineraries detailed within this guide, and established cross-border routes such as the Peaks of the Balkans trail in Prokletije and the Via Dinarica route from Bioč into Sutjeska National Park in Bosnia) – however attractive various trans-Balkan mountain walks may appear on the map. In particular, the presence of landmines in Bosnia-Hercegovina and certain areas of Croatia should discourage walkers and mountaineers from crossing between these countries and Montenegro except at established border crossings. There are also rumours of landmines over the Albanian border, and the border areas between Kosovo and Montenegro may also carry the risk of unexploded ordnance, while Kosovo remains one of the least stable areas in Europe, and the eastern part of Lake Skadar is a popular smuggling route.
