Savin Kuk is not the highest mountain in the Durmitor National Park, but it's known for its cableway. The main load on the cableway occurs in winter season, but it works all year round.

The cableway is almost vertical at the top, it's scary :)

You have to walk another 15 minutes from the top station to the summit. On the way we found a spring with coins of different countries and added our coin.

At the top we measured the height and got 2,314 meters. Here are magnificent views of the Durmitor National Park, Zabljak and the Black Lake.

The cableway opens at about 9 am. If you come and it's not working, go to a restaurant and ask to turn on the cableway.
