Climbing Ferrata Kotor (B/C) is an unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views of the Bay of Kotor with a thrilling physical challenge. The via ferrata itself is well-maintained, with sturdy metal rungs and cables securely bolted into the rock face. While graded B/C, it's a good introduction to via ferratas for those with some climbing experience or a decent level of fitness. Expect sections of exposed traverses, vertical climbs, and even a few slightly overhanging sections that will test your strength and technique. The exposure is significant, but the security provided by the ferrata equipment allows you to focus on enjoying the incredible panorama unfolding around you. Remember to wear appropriate gear: helmet, harness, ferrata lanyard, and sturdy hiking shoes. Bring plenty of water and snacks, as the climb can take several hours. Starting early in the morning is advisable, especially during the hotter months, to avoid the midday sun and crowds. Upon reaching the summit, you'll be rewarded with unparalleled views of Kotor's old town, the surrounding mountains, and the glittering bay below. The descent is typically a hiking trail, allowing you to reflect on your accomplishment and soak in the beauty of Montenegro. Overall, Ferrata Kotor offers a perfect blend of adventure, challenge, and stunning scenery – a must-do for any adventurous traveler visiting Montenegro.
