T.O. Budva presented the walking tour Braici - Praskvica

t_20221021-150156_1



It takes more than 20,000 steps to cover a distance of almost 16 kilometers on the "Brajići - Ograđenica - Praskvica Monastery" hiking trail, which the Tourist Organization of the Municipality of Budva recently presented to the general public.

The road from the highway leads you to the Kosmač fortress, which is located 800 meters above sea level and dominates the gentle village of Brajići, known for the confrontation of mountain and sea air currents, which often causes fog, but above all for its wonderful hosts and delicious raštan and potatoes.

Kosmač was built by the Austrians in the middle of the 19th century, and it is interesting that this particular fortification demarcated the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Montenegro.

In the continuation of the road along the stone path of the mountain wilderness, we will often be accompanied by stone slabs, as remnants of the Austrian road, but also marks on the rocks, as a reminder of who, in one part of history, dominated these regions. Maquis and low vegetation are characteristic for the first part of the road, but already at the hunting lodge, unusual views of the Budva riviera and wonderful green meadows offer us a different view of this area.

If you were wondering why Brajići call the source of the river Mrtvice "the source of life", then you must try it! Right on this part of the road, you really need this fresh water, and throughout history locals used it to water their livestock and their gardens

On the way to Ograženica, we pass through a dense oak forest, then we step through fields of wormwood, and breathtaking panoramas open up in front of us. We also stop to take photos, because what is not "in the memory" is as if it didn't even happen.?

We are approaching Ogradenica and the monastery of St. Spiridona, where wonderful nuns welcome us with homemade coffee, brandy and grapes, so we want to stay in this holy place for a while longer. In silence. In a picturesque place that separates Lake Skadar from the Adriatic Sea. If you are brave enough to climb "Goli vrh", you will see what we are talking about!



But we have to move on, the Paštrović road.
The part of the road where we descend all the time. We go in the direction of the Rustovo monastery, then Čelobrda, from where we slowly and carefully descend towards the Praskvica monastery. Yegor's way. While Miločer is revealed in all its beauty below us, you can't help but think about the one-handed Russian builder Yegor Stroganov, who at the end of the 18th century broke the hard coastal karst, stacked stones, built walls and sub-walls, all with one desire - to connect Čelobrdo with by the sea, and soothe the suffering that has tormented him for years.


But, if you want to know more about the path carved into the Pashtro rocks, read it in books, on the Internet, or simply go to the Praskvica monastery, because this place was Yegor's home.

And that's exactly where our journey ends, at the church of St. Nikola in Praskvica "souls Paštrović".

More than five hours of walking and getting to know that part of our Riviera that we cannot see from a bus or car are behind us. As with everything else that is beautiful in life, we had to work hard for these beauties, because what we get is more valuable than fatigue or just the occasional blister.

The wonderful October day in nature will still be talked about, and we are already preparing to discover some new Budva appetizers, the interesting history of our region and stories that we may not have had the opportunity to hear yet.
