Itinerary description
The route follows the mountain roads, starting from the mountain lodge on Besna Kobila mountain to the Monastery Prohor Pcinjski. At both these end point it is possible to stay the night, but these are pretty desolate areas, with not many people year round and thus no grocery stores or restaurants and cafes. There should however be a cafeteria in both the lodge and monastery inn.
The road surface is presumably all asphalt, but it is possible sections are rough dirt road (as soon as this is checked I'll correct the description).
