Hiking Vrmac peninsula with panoramic view on Kotor bay

We take you on an unforgettable journey across the Vrmac Peninsula, a natural border between Kotor and Tivat, with its highest peak Saint Ilija rising above the landscape. This hiking trail is unique and flexible, allowing anyone to enjoy it, as the starting point can be chosen from several locations. Because of this, the tour can be adapted from a very easy walk to a challenging hike, depending on your preferences. Most of the trail winds through lush forest, offering shade and a peaceful atmosphere, while opening occasionally to reveal breathtaking panoramic views of Tivat, Kotor Bay, and the surrounding mountains. Along the way, you will discover an abandoned Austro-Hungarian fortress built in the late nineteenth century, adding a historical touch to the natural beauty of the peninsula.

For those seeking a relaxed experience, the easy route takes about a few hours and offers a moderate distance with gentle elevation, perfect for enjoying nature and scenic viewpoints. Adventurers looking for a stronger challenge can extend the tour to a full-day hike, covering longer distances with steeper ascents, leading to the highest peak of Saint Ilija and the plateau above. This allows hikers to fully immerse themselves in the stunning landscapes, capture amazing photographs, and enjoy the mix of natural, historical, and cultural sights that Vrmac Peninsula offers.
