Sutjeska from Tjentište
Base yourself in Tjentište, in the heart of Sutjeska National Park, and Bosnia's wildest country is on your doorstep — the highest peak, one of Europe's last primeval forests, glacial lakes, and a towering memorial to one of WWII's fiercest battles. A weekend (or more) of mountains and history.
- 1
Start at the park's heart in Tjentište — the Valley of Heroes and the monumental Battle of Sutjeska memorial tell the WWII story before you head for the peaks.
- 2
Walk (with a guide) into Perućica, one of Europe's last primeval forests, to the Skakavac waterfall plunging through the canopy.
- 3
Summit Maglić, at 2,386 m Bosnia's highest peak, right on the Montenegrin border.
- 4
Drop to the heart-shaped glacial lake cradled beneath Maglić's north face.
- 5
Hike lake to lake across Zelengora — the scattered 'mountain eyes' of the massif.
- 6
Sleep up high at the Orlovačko/Prijevor mountain huts between the big days.
