Pestingrad peak is located above Kotor at 1009 m. A beautiful panoramic view from this peak leaves no one indifferent. Once you reach the peak, you can enjoy in the mesmerizing panorama and tranquility while being refreshed by the breeze that is almost constantly present here. From the peak, one can see Kotor, Tivat and Luštica bays, the Tivat Airport, Vrmac Mountain, the city of Kotor, Perast, the two peaks of Lovćen – Jezerski Peak and Štirovnik, Mountain Orjen, etc. Pestingrad can be reached from several directions by marked trails. From the direction of Cetinje, we reach Pestingrad through Njeguši and Krstac. From Krstac, Pestingrad is about 2 km away. It is also possible to reach the peak along the marked trails from Kotor and this way the altitude difference is about 1000 m.
Kotor-Krstac-Pestingrad-Velji Zalazi-Dobrota-Kotor is a 21.6 kilometer moderately trafficked loop trail located near Kotor, Cetinje, Montenegro that offers scenic views and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from May until October.
From Krstac, there is a marked trail leading through lush nature to Pestingrad. After we reached the peak and spend some time enjoying the view, we went back the same way to Krstac. Then, in the opposite direction we headed towards Kotor, firstly along the tarred road and then again through nature, narrow wild paths and forest.
As we have entered the forest, we enjoyed being in the shade and only sometimes we could see bluish sea that looms across the dense treetops. From here the trail goes only downhill, all the way to the city of Kotor.
At the exit from the forest, the path widens and it becomes rocky and a bit slippery. It is a zigzag path with a beautiful view of Kotor Bay. Already tired we were trying to shorten our way by using as many shortcuts as possible.

Mount Lovćen as the Heart of the Country
The greatest hero of the Montenegrin people, Petar Petrovic Njegoš, lived in the Cetinje area (1813-1851). Today, he is celebrated as statesman, bishop, and the conscience of the people. He not only negotiated to keep most of Montenegro from succumbing to Turkish attacks, he also wrote the national masterpieces of poetry and literature.
During his lifetime, Njegoš picked Mount Lovćen as the place where he wanted to be buried. It took a while for his wishes to be granted due to historical events after his death, but in 1925 his remains were moved to the mountain. During World War II, the Italian army tried to blast his tomb with artillery, but never managed a hit. Decades later, the world’s tallest mausoleum (1660 meters above sea level) was finished in 1974 to honour Njegoš.
The sculptor tasked with designing the mausoleum, Ivan Mestrovic, sought to design the structure to honour the man and his main themes of “justice, freedom, and the dignity of Man and nations.” Upon submitting his design, Mestrovic refused compensation “except for a piece of cheese and the shoulder of a ram.” Today, Njegoš is still revered by much of the local population.
