The Ladder of Kotor is an old Austro-Hungarian military trail that zigzags steeply up the mountains above Kotor in a dramatic series of switchbacks, offering panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor and leading all the way to the village of Njeguši and beyond.
The trail has 72 switchbacks (yes, someone counted!) and was once the only way to connect the Bay of Kotor to the Montenegrin interior before modern roads were built. Local traders, soldiers, and even royalty used this same path to cross the rugged terrain of Montenegro centuries ago
