Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel

Skakavac waterfall deep in Perucica's valley. We will walk around the forest. It's thick, and teeming with endemic life. From here we'll walk on to Prijevor for more incredible views fit for Kings...and Robin Hoods too!! Maglic, Zelengora and Volujak will tower around us....it's really magic here. At the edge of the forest we ascend down towards for the Glacier Lake Trnovacko, which is set in the middle of a huge amphitheater of rocky peaks, at 1,500 meters.

The lake of Donje Bare is lined with thick forest to one side and open mountain meadows to the other. We’ll pass her on our way to Planinicu Peak at 1780 m. It’s no coincidence that we’ve chosen the Pyramid Peak as our destination. From here the highest peak of BiH tower above…Maglic at 2,386 meters, Volujak’s rockface barrier, and the 1200-meter deep canyon of the Sutjeska River. We’ll return via Gornje Bare to the hut to complete the fantastic four-hour hike. After a rest and a few drinks we’ll take a nice 20-minute walk to watch the sunset in amongst the Bosnia’s highest peaks.

From there the highest point in Bosnia, Maglic Mountain, jolts out from the east and greets us with jagged rock faces that peak at 2,386 meters. A comfortable 2.5 hour hike leads us to Trnovacko Lake where we will set camp before taking a dip. The surrounding valleys are great for wandering into the evening hours as you prepare for the ascent Bosnia’s highest peak in the morning.

The drive to Sutjeska National Park will take us a little less than 2 hours. The park is a true gem in terms of the wildlife and large number of endemic plants. The park also includes Bosnia and Herzegovina's highest and impressive mountain, Maglic, named after the thick fog that often surround its rocky peak.

Visocica Hill is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, northeast of Sarajevo, close to the town of Visoko. Visocica Hill drew international attention in October 2005 when a media campaign claimed that largest man-made pyramids, the so-called Bosnian pyramids were built here.

Stretching over 100m across and tumbling down 25m, Kravica is one of the largest waterfalls in Herzegovina and certainly the most impressive one. The waterfalls have a natural pool dug out at the base of the falls by the constant rush of water. It is a favorite local swimming hole with picnic area, café and even a place to pitch a tent if you like.

Sutjeska is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's oldest national parks. It hosts one of the last two remaining primeval forests in Europe, called Perucica. Bosnia and Herzegovina's highest peak, Maglic at over 2,386m, is located in the park, directly on the border with Montenegro. It presents a challenging climb for even experienced hikers.

Modrac Lake is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Tuzla Canton, close to the town of Tuzla. Modrac Lake is the biggest artificial lake in the region; it was created in 1964 by building a dam on the River Spreca. The 11-km-long and 1,6-km-wide lake covers about 17 km2 area.
