Seizing a weather window, I’ve decided to showcase the Ostrog Monastery—a spiritual cornerstone for Orthodox believers in Montenegro. Nestled in the mountains at an elevation of 900 meters, reaching it is no easy feat, especially on a bicycle. But let’s give it a try and relish in the breathtaking views. To ensure we have ample power, we’re adding an extender battery to our Merida eSilex 600 bike. Let’s see how much charge we’ll expend on this adventure.

Founded in the seventeenth century, the Ostrog Monastery consists of two parts. The Lower Monastery was established in the mid-nineteenth century, comprising cells and the Church of the Holy Trinity. The Upper Monastery is separated from the Lower by a road about 5 kilometers long,
Passing through the forest. Pilgrims on foot usually take a shorter path, covering it in 20–25 minutes. The upper part is embedded in a rock niche at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, and it is two-tiered, hosting the most significant landmarks of the monastery.
