Geocache Description:


Sedlo (1907m) is highest road pass in Monte Negro and it is crossed by Zabljak- Trsa road. Sedlo is placed between Sedlena Greda (2227m), on the south, and Uvita Greda (2199m), on the north, 12km from Zabljak. To reach Sedlo pass head from center of Zabljak towards Savnik (south). Road goes over undulating grassy Jezerska Povrs plateau. After 5km table by the road will show you that Trsa is right. Over the plateau road heads towards Sljeme and Savin Kuk who show their soft green slopes from this side. Along the plateau many small houses are scattered, view is fantastic. Then road turns left and winds up gradually, over the open grassy slopes, through Virak village and rare beech groves behind it. Left below the road is Poscensko Jezero (1487m) lake. After few kilometers, below beautiful steep and sharp cone of Stozina (1905m), road enters upper part of Poscenska Dolina valley. Left is beautiful rocky Ranisava (2081m) and sharp green Sedlena Greda (2227m). In front of, right of Sedlo pass, is also green and sharp Uvita Greda (2199m). Right above the road are high and green slopes of Sljeme (2455m). After 3km and two sharp serpentines road reaches Sedlo pass.

Route from Sedlo pass is equally popular as Zabljak (northern) approach. It offers completely different picture of Durmitor, southern side is completely treeless and mostly under juicy grass, which is unbelievably green, almost fluorescent. Its carpet in mixed with countless flowers of all colors. In contrast with deep blue sky, white limestone rocks and cliffs and snow remains, southern green side is photo paradise. Once you approach foot of Bobotov Kuk rock takes over and you are in fantastic amphitheater of cliffs, closed by some of the highest Durmitor peaks, including 'the boss' Bobotov Kuk, himself. But before that you'll be greeted by 14 picturesque teeth and cross once glaciated and now green plateaus.

The cache is located at the foot of Sedlena Greda over the pass Sedlo.

We placed this cache during our Balkan expedition in 2011. This place is too far from my home coordinates, but there were only few geocaches in this beautiful area.
I would appreciate if some local geocacher will adopt it or some geocacher will perform maintenance (e.g. exchange the logbook and eventually replace the box for the larger one).
Thanks.
