Overview

An easy hiking trail, 0.4 km long, running in one direction over rocky terrain, with a gentle descent of 54 m. Suitable for all ages, with beaches and the Haj-Nehaj fortress nearby.

This short trail offers a quick and pleasant outing into nature near the Montenegrin coast. It is only 0.4 km long and can be covered in about 10 minutes of walking without breaks.

The trail runs in one direction only, so it is necessary to plan your return or transport to the starting point in advance. The terrain is entirely rocky, so footwear with a good rubber sole is recommended.

During the descent, a total drop of 54 m is covered — from the highest point at 193 m to the lowest at 127 m above sea level. There is no ascent, so the trail is easy to cover in this direction.

In the immediate vicinity are Maljevik beach, Čanj beach and Sutomore, and a little further away, Haj-Nehaj fortress. The trail is ideal as an additional activity during a stay on the coast, and is suitable for families with children and older visitors.
