I wouldn't say dangerous, it's demanding once you get to the smaller lake and try to complete the circle. Every hike has it's challenges and you have to be vigilant and careful. Proper footwear is mandatory. Enjoy and respect

You can go there on foot (about 3 hours) but it is easier to take the chairlift, 2 stations for 10 euros up and down.

The ticket for Durmitor National Park is valid all day. We were able to enter 2 different parks with the same ticket. Same day, ticket is valid for 24 hours.
