Itinerary description

Trail map starts just outside the old towns northern gate. Taking the old trail up over the new trail is good for 2 reasons, you have the stoney path over steps and its free. Personally I also dislike stone paths over normal dirt trails. The start is pretty tough and gets boring as you zig zag up to the top. Once on the top you can enjoy the views over the bay area of Kotor. heading back down we took a left at the farmers house turned "cafe" which took us into the highest area of the old fortress. I'm still fairly new to adding waypoints so the trail map is minimal.

    The trail was really nice with amazing views all the way up. We wanted to do in reverse from the point B, but you have to pay 8 euros per person there, so it is better to start at point A, bevause in that case it is free. Deffinatelly recommend it!

    The castle people made us pay to exit the fort, so it's not free even if you enter at the top of the hill. Walk quickly through the gate with other tourists and you might get away!
