Book description
The first comprehensive English-language guidebook to walking, hiking
and trekking in the mountains of Montenegro, with routes ranging from
single day hikes to multi day treks. The mountains of Montenegro are
some of the wildest, most spectacular, and least visited in Europe.
Nevertheless they are easily accessible, and many areas have well-marked
trails. They present an opportunity to travel through outstandingly
beautiful and remarkably unspoilt natural scenery, which as yet sees few
visitors. The guide covers the most spectacular mountain areas in
Montenegro, with a selection of circular and linear routes, with
variants and extensions. It also includes generous background
information, including mountain huts and shelters, travel to and within
the country, history and language. Rudolf Abraham grew up in England
and New Zealand, and has travelled extensively in Turkey, the Caucasus,
Iran and Central Asia. He lived in Croatia from 1999 to 2001, and has
made numerous trips into the mountains of Croatia, Montenegro and
Slovenia. He is the author of Cicerone's Walking in Croatia, and has
also written a book on Islamic art and architecture, and contributed
introductions to books on Central Asia, Armenia and Afghanistan.
