77. Climb The Ladder of Kotor, Montenegro
Hiking the Ladder of Kotor provides incredible views of the beautiful Bay of Kotor. Ah, but be aware that this is an almost 13-kilometer hike in total and it is rated as strenuous. You will need between three and six hours.
The trailhead is right next to the popular Old Town of Kotor and immediately becomes an uphill climb. There are more than 70 switchbacks but experienced hikers suggest not counting them. Best to focus on the fact that the higher you hike, the more striking the view. Once you reach the top, you can go back the way you came or hike the Kotor castle walls back to the bottom.
