The country's oldest national park, home to Perućica — one of Europe's last primeval forests — the Maglić massif (2,386 m, BiH's highest), the Skakavac falls deep in the forest, and the colossal WWII Battle of Sutjeska monument at Tjentište.
Why go
- virgin forest
- the highest peak
- brutalist Tito-era monument
- bears and wolves.
you cannot enter Perućica alone — arrange a ranger/guide at the park; the Maglić and Trnovačko Lake treks start nearby.
