ADV Summit Montenegro - 2022

Pictures can barely convey 10% of what we experienced at Kolasin. We enjoyed two nights of great presentations by world travellers and legendary Dakar Winner (2003) Vasilis Orfanos. Participants could choose between a full day of off-road riding in the mountains or on-road riding to one of Montenegro’s most beautiful National Parks, leaving us with unforgettable memories!

On the first day we gathered in Podgorica to start our journey to Vranjak Katun Eko village - the location of the ADV Summit Montenegro 2022. We met in Gradski Pub, a popular meeting point of the local motorcycle club MK Familija. Here we met with Vasilis Orfanos, various riders from Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Russia, Macedonia and Serbia. Together we rode to the ADV Summit, whilst many more riders continued arriving from various locations within Montenegro and surrounding countries until late into the night.

The first night was reserved for Neven Ramic, our friend and world traveller from Montenegro, and Sandra Steliga, a world traveller from UK better known as ADV travel bug.

Neven spoke about his travels to India, his struggles with altitude sickness, experiencing Indian culture and riding his Royal Enfield through mud, rain and the highest motorable road in the world. The crowd was fascinated by his story and Neven had a tough time answering all the questions!

After Neven, the stage under the stars, was reserved for Sandra and her story about how a 3 months motorcycle trip in the USA turned into 4 years (so far) of travelling the world by motorcycle. She spoke about her riding experience in the UK, picking up her first Adventure Bike in the USA, falling in love with riding two up, off-road adventures, climbing volcanoes and various highlights from her trip from Canada to Colombia.

We spent the night in wooden bungalows and tents under the starlit sky at Etno Katun Vranjak. They also put on a spread of organically grown and home-cooked local specialties! We all enjoyed the unlimited delicious delicacies, keeping our engines going and preparing us for the next day’s riding. It was a perfect evening for all Adventure Riders.

Day 2

Day two was reserved for riding. This year we organized two different rides, one off-road and one on asphalt. After a quick breakfast we split into two groups. Vasilis shared his experience with us and gave us some great tips for off road riding.

The first group was led by tour guide Ilija Masonicic from Right Route and our friend Mitar Jestrovic from MK Familija. This group rode from Kolasin up north, to the small town of Mojkovac. From there they left the main route and continued along the Tara river with a quick stop at the famous Tara bridge. After following the river and reaching Savnik, they continued through the beautiful forest and village Boan back to Etno Katun Vranjak. 250km of beautiful scenery and twisty roads.

The second group was led by our friends Srdan Kazic and Marko Resetar and tour guides Neven Ramic and Marko Dosen from Right Route. This group took the off-road path from Etno Katun Vranjak over the Bjelasica mountains to the Sinjajevina mountains. Beautiful views followed us back to the main asphalt road that we used to connect to Biogradsko Lake. From there the group continued off-road and connected the route from Biogradsko Lake back to Etno Katun Vranjak. About 85km of off-road and 15km of twisty asphalt. One of the riders had a punctured tube along the way but Vasilis was able to change it in record time and the group was barely delayed by more than 15 minutes. A great opportunity to learn how to deal with tire punctures in the middle of nowhere!

After returning to Katun Vranjak we were greeted by a generous dinner and the night was reserved for Vasilis Ofranos and Roki Rogosic.

Vasilis spoke about how he started competing, his road to winning his first Dakar Rally, and the huge amount of work and dedication that was put into preparing and winning the race in 2003. He spoke about his biggest crashes and all the personal experiences that you don’t hear about in any Dakar documentary.

After Vasilis, the stage was set for Roki Rogosic. His story about Teriberka, the people, the poetry and all ups and downs a traveler can encounter. The questions and comments run deep into the night of our second day of gathering.

Last day

Our last day was mostly focused on packing and finding out reasons to stay longer. A lot of our guests had a long road back home and we were sad to see them leave early... However our biggest joy was seeing a group of riders, that met each other for the first time (on the summit) leave as friends. This group of new friends even organised a ride back home through the mountains. It was EPIC!

To us, one thing was certain: Montenegro has been missing such a gathering allowing like minded people to get together and continue to share our passion for adventure riding! A lot of nice moments, sweat, falls, smiles and great experiences makes us impatient to start planning for the next year.

We want to thank our friends of the summit:

Magnus Moto, K-Sport and Red Bull Montenegro. We also want to thank all the participants, presenters, tour guides and friends without whom this event would not be possible! When you have guests that behave like hosts and enjoy every moment, what more can you ask for? See you all for the ADV Summit Montenegro 2023 and let’s enjoy more free rides!

ADV Summit Montenegro - 2023

Every year, the summit is held at a different location. In 2023, we set up camp in Vojnik Mountain, the beautiful ethnic village of Vojnik in Savnik. It was easy for us to leave you breathless, and for you to go home full of impressions, given we had such fantastic hosts. The food was unreal, and the accommodation was excellent.

Day 1

We started our perfect four days in nature on Friday by gathering and meeting new faces. In the evening, we hugged old friends and crowned the day with a captivating story about a trip to Small Asia by our friend from Serbia, David Brankovic, aka Stickman Tours. He shared lots of useful information and one great story.

Day 2

Saturday was marked by a very instructive, thematically prepared first aid course by our friend and biker, Dr. Petar Lakicevica, and his team from KCCG. After the first aid, we also had an off-road driving course organized by the Enduro Tours School, led by passionate rally drivers Gerhard Lilaj and Keijsi Hyseni.

Following that, we had the Aprilia Demo Day with the help of our dear friends Magnus Moto, where we had four new Aprilia Tuareg 660 and two RX125. Each camp participant had a chance to try out the motorcycles, get a taste of the new models, and give their opinion. All in all, it was a productive day. But that's not all; at the end of the day, we had a lecture by Katarina Dubanevich from Belarus. I can rightfully say that this was the best lecture I've ever attended! The girl traveled across five continents, and the lecture was so dynamic that, at the moment, it seemed incredible. Picture after picture, state after state, city after city, at the end she received applause that lasted for five minutes - Truly an incredible experience for us.

Day 3

Sunday was dedicated to driving, a day that, despite such a varied program, everyone was looking forward to. Standard driving was divided into off-road and asphalt. The asphalt tour went around the ring around Durmitor and was led by Jestrovic Mitar. On that occasion, Jelena Janjetovic, aka fortitude.in.me, joined us as our official photographer. This year, we were reinforced by the Easy Production team for video and photo production, accompanying us to the mountain. Our official road captain Kazic Srdan and Resertar Marko (Base Camp Montenegro) took us to an eight-hour training session for all muscle groups. WHAT MANIAKS!!!

Luckily for us, our support team led by Zejak Drazen, a passionate lover of nature and jeeps, always had a cold beer to bring us back to life. And at the end of the day, the man who defended the colors of Montenegro at the summit this year, Blazo Milic, told the story of his trip around the world for 99 days. Not in this modern age of social networks and sponsors, but in his realization of the journey with three companions and a circle around this ball of ours. A deep bow!

Last day

Monday was dedicated only to saying goodbyes. We utilized the beautiful weather in the best possible way, of course starting the motorcycles and heading for the Bijela waterfall.

This is how you should leave the summit - with the most beautiful pictures of nature and impressive memories. Full of impressions that only give us energy to work even harder and better in the coming years. Long live, and see you next year at the 2024 summit.
