Sixty corners from the old royal capital of Cetinje up into Lovćen National Park, gaining height fast through limestone and beech on the way to the Njegoš mausoleum road.

The R-25 leaves the old royal capital of Cetinje and winds up into Lovćen National Park, passing the Ivanova Korita plateau on the way to the Njegoš mausoleum road. It is a narrow two-lane mountain road that gains height quickly through limestone and beech forest. Mind the narrow passing places, steep drop-offs and seasonal closures near the summit.
