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. We will leave our car behind at a viewpoint Dragos Sedlo with colorful view of the one of two remaining mediaeval forests in Europe - Perucica. Jumping out from eternity, we are graced by a lonely waterfall "Skakavac" plunging itself 75 meters down into the dark spruce and beech forest of Perucica.

 

 

 

Starting at the entrance of this ancient outdoor museum we disappear into the magical forest of beautiful 50 meter high spruce and beech trees. Our two-hour journey will be over before you know it. Impressions are bountiful, especially the cycle of life and death of 200 to 300 year old trees. We are small, young and the trip will humble all our aspirations and ambitions..... welcome to Perucica.

After a short break we slowly descend 600 meters through Black Pine forests before we arrive in Suha a beautiful closed corner in the heart of Sutjeska Canyon.
