Climbing Via Ferrata Sokolov put (var. D) in Montenegro's stunning Durmitor National Park is an unforgettable adventure. Graded C, this route strikes a perfect balance: challenging enough to get your adrenaline pumping, yet accessible for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts. The 'D' variation specifically offers some of the most dramatic and exposed passages, characterized by exhilarating vertical ascents and traverse sections, all secured by fixed steel cables, iron rungs, and ladders. You'll often feel airy as you navigate sheer rock faces, but the rewards are immense, with panoramic views of Durmitor's rugged peaks, glacial lakes, and deep canyons stretching out below. While not technically difficult in a climbing sense, it demands good physical fitness, a strong head for heights, and arm strength. Essential gear includes a helmet, harness, and via ferrata lanyards; gloves are highly recommended. It's an exhilarating journey that combines the thrill of climbing with the unparalleled beauty of the Montenegrin wilderness, leaving you with a profound sense of accomplishment.
