About route

The route begins at the Spring Water Fountain of Pecurice, an old stone water fountain built over 350 years ago. Across from the spring is a large olive orchard containing trees more than 1000 years old. Continue along and you will see to your right the Pecurice Mosque, first built in 1891 and rebuilt after the 1982 earthquake. This mosque is one of the most important cultural monuments of the region. Next, you will come to the Old Olive, the famous tree which dates back over 2000 years and which belongs to a local farmer. After viewing this natural wonder, which is one of the oldest scientifically registered trees in the world, you can take a break in the farmer’s house and sample a range of delights such as cheese, fritters, vegetables, fruits and, of course, his exquisite extra virgin olive oil. A few metres from the farmer’s house is a viewpoint from which you can see the Veliki Pijesak coast, the Utjeha coast, the village of Pecurice and parts of Old Ulcinj. A perfect place to rest after a delicious lunch! Cycle on or walk and end your journey at the Konoba Ribar restaurant in the hills. Enjoy the spectacular views while sampling fresh local seafood and wines.
