Within half an hour’s drive to Crepoljsko is a very well known local picnic place where we will start today’s hike toward Bukovik peak (1,534m), the highest point north from Sarajevo. This is a peak that offers some of the best views of mountains to the south. After leaving our start point, a pleasant hike takes us through meadows and coniferous forests up to Bukovik hut, with wider and wider views of mountains in the distance and the city in the valley right below us. After a short break at Bukovik hut, we ascend the nearby Bukovik peak and continue from there through a beautiful pine forest to the Skakavac waterfall.
This waterfall is the largest continual flowing waterfall in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is 98m high. A soothing lunch break and some tea or coffee welcomes us here before we head down through thick forest to the base of the waterfall. Once we reach the base, a fantastic view of water, mist and forest awaits us. From here we wind through the forest to the small lodge, where we end our hike with an ice cold drink.

The scenery here is truly breathtaking. After crossing another bridge at the mouth of the canyon we can rest either in one of the caves or on the numerous beaches.
We continue our journey to Mostar through the small town of Konjic. Evening in Mostar.

Mostar – Trebinje – Hercegnovi
After breakfast at the hotel we go for a sightseeing tour through the city, which also leads us to the famous “Old Bridge” of Mostar, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the Bosnian war its destruction was a symbol of the separation of peoples. Their reconstruction has become a globally recognized sign of reconciliation. And that gives the little town its very own multicultural charm. Then we drive to Trebinje, another beautiful town where we stop for lunch time. Then we drive towards the Montenegrin Border for reaching Hercegnovi on the Adriatic coast. Here you can enjoy a free afternoon at the beach.

Žabljak – Hiking the Bear circuit – Žabljak
Heading out after breakfast this morning you take a trail that passes by the Black Lake and then up into the mountains, heading through a changing landscape of fir forests and low alpine vegetation and onto the snow covered peaks. Our destination is the Previja Pass (2145m), located beneath the heights of Medjed (Bear) peak (2287m), where we will enjoy a quite spectacularly scenic lunch overlooking the majestic vistas below us. Whilst bear and wolf are rarely sighted in the park, there is a chance of spotting chamois on the high mountain slopes, as well as fox, weasels and badger. The area is also rich in birdlife, with 130 different species being recorded here, including grey mountain eagles, white-headed vultures and crossbills. From spring to midsummer the landscape becomes a blaze of colours, with the alpine meadows blanketed in a rainbow of hues from gentians, anemones, violets, soldanellas and wild strawberries. After our lunch stop we will head back down to Black Lake, following a trail that takes us via a shepherd’s camp at Lokvice, before returning to the hotel.
