An easy path circles the Black Lake under Međed, with the first snow on the peaks from late October. Park entry €5 a day; the Sedlo pass road closes with heavy snow.
Boat trips among the reeds and water lilies, birdwatching as the migrants arrive, and Crmnica's family wine cellars a short drive from Virpazar. Rijeka Crnojevića, on the lake's northern side, is worth the detour.
Swimmable into October, quieter lanes in Kotor and Perast, and the chestnut woods above Stoliv. The Kotor–Lovćen cable car has closed for the winter in early November in recent seasons.
A car for road trips, a transfer for arrival day, the bus on a budget.
