HIKING TOUR | 3 days | from 295€ | Through the Bosnian oldest national park, over Zelengora Mt. to the Bosnia's highest peak Maglić (2.386m), most impressive mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

If you intend to do any hiking in this beautiful and undiscovered region of southeast Europe we recommend starting with this short tour.

Our adventure starts from the tranquil natural Lake Donje Bare on the Zelengora Mountain through a beech forest and unspoilt mountain terrain to the summit of Ugljesin Peak (1.858m) where we will be rewarded for our efforts with the best panoramic view of the Zelengora mountain peaks.

The next day we offer the choice between one shorter moderate hike to the Glacier Lake Trnovacko and one longer challenging climb to the Maglic peak at 2.386m. One of the highlights of this day is the primaeval forest Perucica with its stunning 75-metres high waterfall Skakavac.

1. The stunning surroundings of the Sutjeska National Park - located near Foca town in the southeast of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Established in 1962, it is Bosnia-Herzegovina's oldest national park which extends over an area of 175 km². Over 66% of the area is covered by forests, and the rest are pastures, meadows and barren land above the upper limit of forests. It includes the highest peak of Maglić at 2.386 metres (7.828 ft), on the border with Montenegro. The Sutjeska National Park is also famous for the Battle of Sutjeska in 1943 during World War II. The park is an affiliated member of EUROPARC Federation.

2. Zelengora (eng: green mountain) is a mountain range in the Sutjeska National Park with the highest peak Bregoč at 2,014 metres (6,608 ft). It is a part of the Dinaric Alps bordered to the south-west by the Neretva River, to the east by the Sutjeska River and the north by the Lelija range. Zelengora is known as "a wilderness of outstanding beauty" because of its peaks which emerge from large mixed forests and numerous springs of clear and drinkable water, streams, rivers, and lakes. The wildness of nature in the cloak of forests and green pastures and the complete lack of signs of modern civilization give these mountains a special appeal.

3. The strictly protected Nature Reserve, the primaeval forest Perućica in the Sutjeska National Park, is located along the border with Montenegro. One of the last two remaining primaeval forests and one of the last beech old-growth forests in Europe. It stays there just as nature created it 20.000 years ago. The Bosnian ancient forest Perućica stretches over an area of 1.434 hectares and is a precious European natural heritage. It hides many trees over 300 years old. The tallest measured Norway Spruce (63 m) is located in this forest. The number of wild animals is impressive: bears, wolves, foxes, chamois, marten, wild cat, wild boar, and many other.

4. Maglic mountain with its 2,386-meter high peak (7,828 ft) is the highest and most impressive mountain of Bosnia and Herzegovina, named after the thick fog that often surrounds its rocky peak. It lies within the Sutjeska National Park on the border with Montenegro. Maglic massif consists of two peaks: the Veliki (Big) Maglić (2,386 metres) on the Bosnia-Herzegovina side and the Crnogorski Maglić (2,388 metres) on the Montenegro side. The Montenegrin part of Maglic massif has formed the Trnovacko Lake -  one of the most beautiful in Montenegro.
