The route
The drive from Nikšić to Žabljak is a genuine mountain journey. The road leaves the wide Nikšić plain, climbs through karst hills and canyon country to Šavnik, a small town at the foot of the Durmitor massif, and then winds up onto the Durmitor plateau. The last stretch crosses open highland pastures well above a thousand metres before reaching Žabljak, one of the highest towns in the Balkans.
Requesting the transfer in the app
Open Blic Taxi, set your pickup in Nikšić, enter your Žabljak hotel, chalet or campsite as the destination and send the request. A nearby online driver accepts and you follow the car live on the map. For a long leg like this, the taxi app keeps everything clear: the route, the driver and the trip details stay visible from start to finish.
Pickup in Nikšić
Set your pickup pin anywhere in town: by Trg slobode in the centre, at the bus or railway station, or in front of your accommodation. Nikšić is Montenegro's second-largest city, but distances are short and the street grid is simple, so drivers find pickup points easily. If you are carrying hiking or ski gear, a clearly marked spot with room to load makes things smoother.
Arriving in Žabljak
Žabljak is the base town for Durmitor National Park, so give your exact hotel, chalet or campsite as the destination — accommodation is spread between the small centre and the roads toward the Black Lake (Crno jezero) and the ski areas. In winter the town serves the surrounding slopes; in summer it fills with hikers and rafting groups heading for the Tara canyon, and a precise address saves you a cold or dusty walk.
Mountain weather and planning
The upper part of this route crosses high ground, and conditions change quickly outside the summer months — snow, fog and ice are a normal part of life on the Durmitor plateau. Road conditions can vary, especially in winter, so check the current situation before you travel and allow extra time for the journey. Licensed local drivers know the road well, but it pays to plan around the weather rather than a tight schedule.
Driver availability may vary depending on your location, time and nearby online drivers.
