A detailed travelogue of the Starlight Group's October 11, 2025, hike along the arc of the Rumija Range—from the cobbled streets of Stari Bar to the foot of Mount Rumija and back, with a history and highlights of all the points along the route.The group was small this time, just five people. But the weather was wonderful, and we cheerfully and cheerfully covered the route. We hoped to find mushrooms. We found one. At the same time, a similarly small group of our friends was climbing Mount Rumija, and we met them right at the foot!Overall, the hike was a success, as always! It left behind vivid, pleasant memories!From Stari Bar to the Mountains: Gateway to the BalkansStari Bar (Stari Bar) is a medieval fortified town at the foot of Mount Rumija. Here lies the largest archaeological complex of its kind in the Balkans (approximately 4.5 hectares), which for centuries controlled the passage between the Adriatic and the lake basin of Lake Skadar. The ruins of cathedrals, Venetian and Ottoman buildings, towers, and baths stand alongside a vibrant "minor" infrastructure—cafes, workshops, and shops. For a historian, this is a textbook "in stone": the succession of Byzantine, Nemanjić, Venetian, and Ottoman empires is evident in the stonework of the walls and the coats of arms. Official descriptions emphasize the exceptional value of the Old Bar complex for the history of the region.Slightly north of the walls is the Bar Aqueduct, the only surviving aqueduct in Montenegro. It was built by the Ottomans in the 16th and 17th centuries to supply water to the fortress from springs on the slopes of Rumija; it was restored after the 1979 earthquake. The stone arches (seventeen spans on eighteen piers) are a spectacular "warm-up" for the eyes before the mountains.Menke Old Bridge and WaterfallNext, to the rock massif and the Menke Old Bridge. This is a small, old stone crossing near the climbing area and the waterfall; In local guidebooks, it is the first kilometer of many trails and races starting at the walls of Stari Bar that leads to it. The local press directly mentions "Menke Bridge and the waterfall next to it" as a landmark in the mountain belt above the city; a section of the Rumija SkyRunning trail is also dedicated to it, where the road "on cobblestones through the heart of Stari Bar" leads to Menke Bridge near the climbing area.Trailhead zum Rumija: Dobri Do – the "gateway" to the summitOn signs and online maps, you'll see the German designation "Trailhead zum Rumija" – the starting point of the main trail to the summit from Dobri Do above Mikulići. This is the most popular ascent to Rumija: short but steep (a gain of approximately 600–650 meters, almost head-on); a number of guidebooks and maps even call it the main route in the municipality of Bar.Monastery of St. Sergius of Radonezh: a Russian monastery beneath the ridgeJust above Mikulići and the Dobri Do meadow is the convent of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The monastery belongs to the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral, but its inhabitants are Russian. The monastery is open to pilgrims, and on holidays, a metropolitan serves here—it is an important spiritual center for the Bar community. Photos and coordinates of the monastery are published in open sources; reports emphasize its role in the traditional night processions to the summit on Trinity Sunday.Rumija: a "lighthouse" between the sea and SkadarRumija (1,594–1,595 m) is the southernmost major peak of the Che Mountains.Romija is a mountain range and one of the most striking in its relative height: from the sea to the crest, it's almost a "wall." From the summit, on a clear day, the Adriatic, Lake Skadar, and the mountains of Albania are visible. Geologists classify the ridge as part of the Dinaric fold belt, and tourists know it as one of the "three symbols of the coast" (along with Lovcen and Orjen).At the summit stands the tiny Church of the Holy Trinity, a small chapel built in 2005. It is the finishing line of many hikes and prayer services.Church of the Holy Trinity: A Temple in the WindThe stone Church of the Holy Trinity on Rumija is one of the highest permanent shrines on the coast. Its modest structure, metal roof, cross—and almost always windy. It is here, on Pentecost (Trinity Day), that the ancient Cross of John Vladimir, the holy Prince of Duklja, revered as a martyr, is raised. The cross makes its way from surrounding villages (traditionally from Veliki Mikulići) to the summit, and people of various faiths participate in the procession.Having begun our journey at 12 noon and ascended to the foot of Mount Rumija, 900 meters above sea level, we had no plans to climb to the summit of Rumija. Instead, we turned back along the road through a picturesque pine forest to the village of Baltina. From there, we followed a familiar route down to Stari Bar, where we once again enjoyed a wonderful garnet beer at the cozy Bedem restaurant. #Starlight #StariBar #Rumija

MonteGames 2025, Yugo Game Awards How it was!

MonteGames 2025 conference (October 17-18, 2025, Porto Montenegro, Dom Vojske, Tivat): concept, program, speakers, and the Yugo Game Awards ceremony.

MonteGames 2026 has already been announced.

MonteGames is a non-profit two-day conference and community event for game developers and publishers from the Balkans and Europe. Organizers position the event as a “respite from the industry grind” with a focus on live meetings and deals without the hustle and bustle of the market; admission is free for professionals (registration required). The venue is Porto Montenegro (Dom Vojske Hall) in Tivat. The 2025 dates are October 17-18.

MonteGames’s core mission is to connect local creators (including indie) with international publishers, investment funds, and service companies (Raw Fury, Devolver Digital, King, Tilting Point, Owlcat, Nordeus, Xsolla, Wargaming, Ubisoft, and others were mentioned on the list). The format is essentially “matchmaking-free” and has no exhibition pavilions; instead, there are “boatside conversations” at Porto Montenegro and two main zones: the Executive Experience and the Indie Zone.

THE LOST SPIRITS: PHANTOM INVASION

We are developing an immersive, AAA-quality augmented reality (AR) game on the Unity engine, designed to engage players worldwide by discovering and interacting with magical, spectral entities: ghosts and phantoms that have begun materializing in our real-world environment. An early-stage project with high scalability, our vision combines cutting-edge AR, blockchain tokenomics, and advanced AI-driven characters to create a truly next-generation gaming experience.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Global AR Gaming Growth: AR adoption is accelerating as modern smartphones integrate LiDAR sensors and computational power surges.

Underserved Segment: Despite Pokémon GO’s success, the AR games landscape remains relatively unconsolidated, presenting a clear path to market leadership.

Web3 Integration Demand: Players increasingly seek true digital ownership and decentralized economies—our tokenized assets and open marketplace deliver on both.
