Who organises it

The day was part of “Cetinje Outdoor”, a programme of outdoor events. Our sources do not name the organiser.

Will there be a second edition?

No next edition has been announced yet. When a date is published, we will add it here and on our events page. If you hear the news first, please tell us.

You do not have to wait for the next one. The hike, the paddle and the boat trip are possible on other days too: see hiking, kayak and SUP and boat trips.
