5 BALKAN SCENIC ROADS (and a bonus!)

These are some of the most spectacular roads we’ve driven in the Balkans. It was hard to choose just five — there are so many incredible roads, but these are our picks: 

1️⃣P14: Plužine → Žabljak, Montenegro 🇲🇪
Across the wild heart of Durmitor, climbing to 1,907 m at Sedlo Pass, Montenegro’s highest paved mountain pass.

2️⃣P15 Sea & Heights: Ulcinj → Virpazar, Montenegro 🇲🇪
From the Adriatic to the mountains and Lake Skadar, one road crossing some of Montenegro’s most dramatic contrasts.

3️⃣P1: Kotor Serpentine, Montenegro 🇲🇪
25 hairpin bends descend towards the Bay of Kotor on a road built in 1884, with the bay getting bigger at every turn.

4️⃣SH20: Leqet e Hotit, Albania 🇦🇱
A narrow mountain road twisting through the Kelmend region, with steep slopes, deep valleys and one bend after another.

5️⃣E73/M17: Neretva Canyon, Bosnia& Herzegovina 🇧🇦
Following the emerald Neretva through a narrowing limestone canyon, with tunnels, cliffs and the river constantly appearing beside the road.

𝘽𝙊𝙉𝙐𝙎 R435 / R436: Umoljani → Odžaci → Konjic, Bosnia&Herzegovina 🇧🇦
Found by chance, this remote mountain road through the Visočica range, where steep limestone slopes and almost empty valleys make the road feel far from everything with almost surreal views. 

⚠️Just keep in mind: not all of them are suitable for motorhomes!
