TET
TET Montenegro offers a highly scenic route, best enjoyed from June to October due to its high altitude, ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 meters. Even in May, snow can still be found on parts of the trail. The locals, especially in the mountainous regions, are known for their friendliness and may invite riders in for drinks or meals. The traditional alcoholic drink, rakija, is potent, and it’s common to have more than one, so pace yourself!
Camping is free throughout Montenegro, but be prepared for sudden weather changes, including snow, even during the summer months.
Author Tips & Tricks
- Timing: Ride between June and October to avoid snow and ensure all trails are passable.
- Gear: Pack versatile clothing for varying weather conditions. Even in summer, it can snow at higher altitudes, so bring warm layers.
- Camping: While camping is free, bring a durable, weatherproof tent and cold-weather sleeping gear to stay comfortable in case of sudden temperature drops.
- Navigation: Make sure you have offline maps or a reliable GPS system, as mobile signal can be spotty in remote mountain regions.
- Water and Supplies: Bring plenty of water and snacks, as small villages may be few and far between. Stock up in larger towns when you can.
- Respect the Locals: If you're invited in for rakija, it’s polite to accept, but pace yourself—it’s strong! Drinking more than one glass is customary, but know your limits, especially if you're still riding.
- Road Conditions: Some roads can be rocky or challenging, especially after rain. Tire pressure adjustment can help with traction. Be prepared for occasional water crossings and steep sections.
- Wildlife: Be cautious of livestock and wildlife, as animals often roam freely in the mountains.
With the right preparation, TET Montenegro will be an unforgettable adventure!
