Embark on an exhilarating journey that will take you through the heart of Lovćen's untouched natural beauty, culminating in the thrilling challenge of crossing the SAS Gorge. This adventure, meticulously designed for those who seek to push their limits and embrace the wild, is set against the backdrop of Lovćen's breathtaking landscapes, east of Trešetenik peak, through Viline grade to the Sas Gorge.
The Gathering Point: A Prelude to Adventure
Our adventure begins at Ivanova Korita, near the welcoming Monte Rossa Hotel, at 10 am. Participants, including three spirited ladies from Podgorica, gathered here, set against the serene beauty of Lovćen, ready to embark on a canyoning experience unlike any other. Their anticipation was palpable, a shared eagerness for the adventure ahead.
The Path Less Traveled
From the Monte Rossa Hotel, our path took us towards the village of Majstori, winding through 1km of scenic rural roads. Upon reaching the pass, we veered off the beaten track, descending along unforeseen paths towards the adrenaline-fueled heart of our adventure above the imposing Sas Gorge. With a depth of 45m and a span of 25m, the gorge presented an awe-inspiring challenge that promised to surge adrenaline through the veins of each participant.
The Main Event: SAS Gorge Crossing
The climax of our adventure involved crossing the Sas Gorge using a technique reminiscent of military special forces - crawling belly-down across a double static rope stretched between anchors on either side of the gorge. While daunting at first glance, this method proved to be a refreshing and achievable challenge, even for first-timers. Participants were secured with triple safety measures, ensuring a thrilling yet secure traverse across the gorge.
Beyond the Crossing: A Symphony of Adventure
Following the gorge crossing, the adventure continued with a rappelling descent down a 25m cliff face and an opportunity to engage in sport climbing on the "Alternativa Jami" route, rated grade V. This multifaceted adventure provided participants with a taste of extreme content akin to military specialities and spelunking, elevating the experience to one of the top three most exciting offerings among our adventures.
The Reward: Serenity and Reflection
After the adrenaline subsided, a well-deserved rest awaited us, complete with coffee or tea and refreshments prepared uniquely, and this moment of tranquillity, set on a panoramic clearing, allowed us to reflect on the day's achievements and the breathtaking beauty surrounding us.
The Return: Completing the Circle
