st. petar of cetinje monument

We have driven up here from Perast and out the back of Kotor up the Serpentime road 5 times now. We've taken friends and family up there. The road up is amazing its narrow and has plenty of hairpins but the views of Kotor bay are well worth it. If you go this way there is a right turn at a Restaurant just before Njegusi (were St Peter came from) saves you driving Into Cetinje and back on your self. Knocks about an hour off. Its about 1hr30 mins drive from Kotor. The monument its self is amazing when you see the size of the solid granite figures and how far up a mountain they are. There is a small car park at the top, the monument is reached through a tunnel of around 400 steps leading up from the restaurant ( never eaten here only drunk strong Turkish coffee which is brill) will get youre ticker going. I have been up here in summer the views are amazing rough mountain peaks as far as the eye cam see. I have also been out of season several times sometimes youre amongst the clouds. Once a huge thunderstorm started when we were in the monument we watched lightning striking the huge lightning conductor there's one either side of the monument. It was terrifying and amazing at the same time it was literally 50 meters away the crack of the lightning and thunder was deafening. Definitely a place I will visit again. It can be bleak cold and windy even if its hot on the coast so take a Jacket last time I was up here it snowed and was about 2 degrees.

If you are in Cenije, it is hard to miss this monument, done all in bronze, symbolizes the better times for Montenegrins!
