Overview

The 3.1 km trail follows the coastal ridge from Mogren beach to Jaz beach. It is easy, runs mostly along a woodland path, and offers several viewpoints over the sea. Estimated at around 1 h 15 min of walking without stops.

The trail starts from Mogren beach and immediately climbs up the coastal ridge. Within the first half kilometre you encounter several viewpoints at altitudes between 71 and 87 m a.s.l. — from here there are views out to sea and along the surrounding coastline.

The trail continues along the ridge, reaching its highest point at 133 m a.s.l., then descends gently. At around 2.0 km from the start there is another viewpoint at 94 m a.s.l., offering a wide view towards Jaz. The total ascent is 169 m and the total descent is 166 m.

The surface is predominantly earth and woodland path (88 %), with a smaller section (10 %) consisting of asphalt and concrete surfaces. The trail is one-way — it ends at Jaz beach, so it is useful to arrange your return in advance.

It is suitable for beginners, families and anyone looking for a short activity by the sea. Nearby are Budva, the Citadel of Budva and Slovenska beach.
