Trešnjevik Pass
R-19Andrijevica to Mateševo
A narrow mountain pass through the Komovi massif connecting two remote Montenegrin valleys.
The M-9 climbs from the Lim valley town of Andrijevica up through dense forest and open alpine terrain to the Trešnjevik saddle, with panoramic views across the jagged three-peak silhouette of the Komovi range unfolding on the northern side. There is asphalt the whole way up but never much width, and the climb comes as long sustained gradients with hairpins snapping back on both flanks. It sits on the boundary of Andrijevica and Kolašin municipalities in an uncommercialised corner of northeastern Montenegro, so traffic is sparse; passing places are few, and meeting a car on the hairpins can mean reversing.
