Continuation of the drive below the Old Town of Medun and the Marko Miljanov Museum. A visit to the museum where you will get interesting information about exhibits by audio guide – optional. Slight ascent, climbing, driving through villages: Ubli (near the Church of St. John from the Middle Ages and the Church of St. Spasoje from the 19th century, this village is recognized for its vines, figs, pomegranate, cherries) and Orahovo (near Church of St. Dimitrije). After a series of serpentines and thirty kilometres passed, the conifer forest leads through the Kučka korita which name indicates a ”windy plateau”. A winding path leads us through the Zatrijebač region, from where the view of Lake Skadar opens again and again. The specialty of the villages in this area are the farms and fields surrounded by low stone walls. In the village of Delaj, along the road that stretches along the edge of the Cijevna Canyon, you will see an impressive 10 m high cross, built in 2010 with donations from believers. From there, there is a spectacular view of the canyon and emerald Cijevna River that flows 700 meters below. We continue our drive through the village of Stjepovo, then the village of Rudine, passing by the church of St. Nicholas, after which a long drive downhill is interrupted by several kilometers of ascent, which again offers a magnificent view of the Prokletije massif in the east, Podgorica in the west, and Skadar Lake reappears in sight. We then descend to Fundina, whose name has the meaning ”spring”. At the area about 2 square km, 76 springs appear. After a beautiful tour with a series of photo breaks we continue our ride towards Podgorica. The end of the tour.
