Austro Hungarian Empire - Construction Artwork: Bay of Kotor Roads.
One of the most amazing roads in Montenegro, built in a such way that freezing your breath all way long.

In 1881, Austria began construction of the road route Kotor - the Austrian border in 1881, and Josip Slade-Silovic, a civil engineer and architect from Trogir, was appointed as a designer and contractor, who later served as a designer and builder of the Montenegrin court large objects (Nikšić urban project, Zetski dom theater and the Government House in Cetinje, St. Vasilij's Church, Castle - Museum and Care Bridge in Nikšić, etc.).

The route this time foresees to overcome a significant climb along the slopes of Lovćen, from 1 to almost 1,000 meters above sea level, with the use of 25 serpentines of 180º (known as kanice), where the climb nowhere exceeds a slope higher than 8%, and the width of the road was a maximum of 5 meters, which was enough to pass the car and the first cars. In addition, the road was secured by stone cobbles and masonry parapets, and several smaller bridges were built over occasional torrential currents. On the 13th canal the so-called. "Austrian House", border and financial office at the border.

Austrija je 1881. godine sa svoje strane počela izgradnju putnog pravca Kotor – austrijska granica, a za projektanta i izvođača radova je postavljen Josip Slade-Šilović, građevinski inženjer i arhitekta iz Trogira, koji je kasnije ostao u službi crnogorskog dvora kao projektant i graditelj niza velikih objekata (urbanistički projekt Nikšića, pozorište Zetski dom i Vladin dom u Cetinju, crkva Sv. Vasilija, Dvorac – Muzej i Carev most u Nikšiću, itd).

Trasa ovog puta je predviđala savladavanje znatnog uspona uz padine Lovćena, od 1 do skoro 1000 metara nadmorske visine, uz primjenu 25 serpentina od 180º (poznatih kao kanice), kod kojih uspon nigdje ne prelazi strminu višu od 8%, a širina puta je bila maksimalno 5 metara, što je bilo dovoljno za mimoilaženje kola i prvih automobila. Put je pored toga bio osiguran kamenim kolobranima i zidanim parapetima, a sagrađeno je i nekoliko manjih mostova preko povremenih bujičnih tokova. Na 13. kanici sagrađena je tzv. „Austrijska kuća“, žandarmerijska i finansijska karaula na granici.
