Od podmorniških tunelov Boke Kotorske do ladijskih razbitin vasice Rose, Črna gora

Preden smo se podali v notranjost Črne gore, je bil čas še za en res dober izlet z morskimi kajaki. Če na severni strani Boke Kotorske kraljujejo hoteli mesta Herceg Novi in okolice, pa najdemo na njenem južnem delu čisto nasprotje. Simpatične majhne vasice, med katerimi kraljuje vasica Rose, lepi zalivčki s kristalno čisto vodo ter za piko na i še nekaj krajev z zanimivo zgodovino. Najboljši način ali pa verjetno kar edini za raziskovanje območja je potovanje po vodi, saj je cest bore malo. V Herceh Novi-ju sicer izposojajo tudi morske kajake, dobra izbira pa bi bili tudi SUP-i.

Zaradi slabega vremena smo med našim izletom obiskali le del predvidenega. Najbolj zanimive stvari smo našli na majhnem območju okrog vasice Rose. Če je moški del ekipe užival v raziskovanju podmorniških tunelov Dobrec (res je nekaj posebnega, ko s kajakom zapluješ v črnino zapuščenega podmorniškega tunela in razmišljaš, kaj vse te gleda iz vode), pa je ženski del ekipe užival predvsem ob obisku vasice Rose in uživanju na idilični plaži nedaleč stran. Za piko na i smo našli še ladijsko razvalino zapuščene ribiške ladje. Če bi sodelovalo tudi vreme, bi bilo nekaj posebnega tudi snorklanje ob omenjeni razvalini.

Before we set out for the interior of Montenegro, it was time for another really good sea kayak trip. On the northern side of Boka Kotorska, in and around Herceg novi, you can “enjoy” in numerous hotels, restaurants, bars… But on the other side of Boka Kotorska, on southern side of the bay, its a completely different story. There you can find small villages, beautiful coves with crystal clear water and also some historical sites. The best way, or probably the only way to explore the area, is to travel on the water, as there are few roads. You can rent sea kayaks in Herceg Novi, but you can do it also by SUP.

Due to bad weather, we visited only part of the planned during our trip. We found the most interesting things in a small area around the village of Rose. If the male part of the team enjoyed exploring the Dobrec submarine tunnels (it really is something special when you kayak in a black abandoned submarine tunnel and think about what is watching you from the water), the female part of the team enjoyed visiting the village of Rose and enjoying on an idyllic beach not far away. At the end we also found the shipwreck of an abandoned fishing boat. If there would be better weather, it would be a great spot for some snorkeling.
