## About Jabuka – Ranče

The mountain road from the Prijepolje area in Serbia to Pljevlja in Montenegro crosses the border at Jabuka – Ranče. It is a quieter alternative to the main route via Bijelo Polje, especially convenient for anyone heading to Pljevlja, Žabljak and the Durmitor massif – the mountains of northern Montenegro – before dropping down to the sea. The crossing handles cars in both directions.

In the 60-day data Jabuka is the quickest of the three published crossings between Serbia and Montenegro. The typical wait is about 20–25 minutes in both directions and hardly depends on the day of the week – the gap between the best and worst day is 2–3 minutes. Sunday is marginally longer, with small peaks in the morning when entering Montenegro and in the afternoon when entering Serbia; night is the shortest. On the way into Serbia, the afternoon is slightly worse.

Since the fluctuations are negligible, you can fit the crossing to your travel plan rather than the other way round. If your destination is in northern Montenegro, Jabuka – Ranče is clearly the better choice in the data compared with Gostun – Dobrakovo, where the typical wait is over an hour, and also better than Špiljani – Dračenovac, with waits of three quarters of an hour to an hour. Bear in mind, though, that the road onwards to the south and the coast is winding mountain driving.
