Year-round
Okay, picture this: You're cruising through central Bosnia and Herzegovina, winding your way up to Crveni Klanac, a mountain pass that tops out at a cool 1,599 meters (5,246 feet). This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks.
Nestled in the Bjelasnica mountain, the road's been freshly paved, but don't let that fool you. It's a tight squeeze and seriously steep in sections. Weather can turn on a dime up here, so definitely skip it if things look dicey. Even in summer, ice and snow can be a surprise guest, so keep your wits about you. And yeah, winter means serious snowfall, so be prepared for potential closures. But hey, if you're up for an adventure, the views are totally worth it!

extremeJezerski Vrh: a Road Through History
🌍 Montenegro
Okay, picture this: you're in Montenegro, cruising through Lovćen National Park, and you stumble upon this insane road leading to Jezerski Vrh. This isn't just any mountain peak; it's home to the mausoleum of Petar Petrovic Njegoš, a Montenegrin legend! Seriously, it’s rumored to be the highest mausoleum on Earth. The drive itself? Epic. It's about 12.4 kilometers (7.7 miles) of winding, paved road that kicks off from the scenic R-1 road between Cetinje and Kotor. Fair warning: it’s narrow and can get a little hairy, so maybe not for the faint of heart. You can drive most of the way, but the final stretch involves tackling 461 steps. Trust me, it's worth the climb! From the top, the views are mind-blowing. We're talking half of Montenegro laid out before you, the sparkling Adriatic Sea, serene Skadar Lake, and jagged mountain peaks stretching into the distance. Just prepare for potential crowds at the parking area near the top – it's a popular spot! Plus, there's a souvenir shop and a restaurant there too, in case you get snackish.

extremeWhere is Port des Canonge?
🇪🇸 Spain
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along the north coast of Mallorca, headed toward the tiny beachside paradise of Port des Canonge – or Port d'Es Canonge, if you want to get local. Nestled right next to Banyalbufar in the Tramuntana Mountains, about 30 km from Palma de Mallorca, this place is seriously charming, with old fishermen's huts (called "escars") still standing. Now, getting there? That's part of the adventure. The road, carved back in the 50s and paved in the 2000s, clocks in at just under 3 miles (4.7 km). Don't let the short distance fool you, though. This isn't a Sunday drive! We're talking 24 hairpin turns, winding and twisting on a narrow road – sometimes only 3.5-4 meters wide. It’s got serious curves. The speed limit is 30 km/h, and honestly, you'll want to stick to that. It's best to avoid this route at night, and watch out for bigger vehicles. It's a road less traveled, so it's mostly unspoiled with great views. Just be aware of the occasional rockfall, and keep your eyes peeled. The views are definitely worth it, just stay focused on the road!
