Experience Durmitor National Park's untouched beauty on an adventure that combines breathtaking landscapes, camaraderie, and endurance. HIGHLANDER Durmitor Montenegro offers two unforgettable hiking formats to match your level of challenge and exploration:
Hercules format - 90 km of rugged splendor
For the ultimate adventurers, the Hercules format is a 90 km hike through one of Montenegro’s most spectacular regions. Set in Durmitor National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site - the trail reveals the park’s stunning diversity: dramatic canyons, rolling plateaus at 1,500 m, and towering peaks (48 of which rise over 2,000 m, with the highest at Bobotov Kuk). This journey demands hiking experience and a strong fitness foundation to conquer the challenging terrain and gain an appreciation for the raw beauty of one of nature’s masterpieces. As you hike through this untouched landscape, you’ll be rewarded with unforgettable views, peaceful alpine lakes, and the rare chance to truly connect with Montenegro’s wild side.
Lyra format - 25 km of pure HIGHLANDER spirit
Designed for those seeking a concentrated adventure, the Lyra format packs a powerful experience into a single day. This approximately 25 km hike through Durmitor showcases its most iconic landscapes, from serene lake shores to rugged mountain ridges. It’s a perfect way to embrace the HIGHLANDER spirit in a day and challenge yourself without committing to a multi-day journey. As with all HIGHLANDER events, the Lyra adventure ends in celebration - with food, music, and fellow hikers coming together to toast their accomplishments.
