A wonderful weeks hiking in the most beautiful surroundings. Sarajevo was an interesting base for some of the walks and the time spent in Mostar was lovely …despite the heavy rain!! It was a pleasure to meet all the other group members, good conversation and fun the whole week. Two of the accommmodation could be described as interesting (run down and dated) ….however, some of the other hotels exceeded expectations and were really of a very good standard.
Maglic Mountain
Maglić Mountain Trips
Within Sutjeska National Park, home to the last primeval forests in Europe, Maglić is simply glorious. This part of the world receives few visitors, making it a perfect retreat for hikers and mountaineers, and the natural triangle of Zelengora, Volujak and Maglić is both challenging and captivating.
At 2386m, Maglic is the highest peak in Bosnia & Herzegovina and features pine-forest walks, dramatic rock faces, arduous climbs over rocky sections and scrambling. The view from the ridge and peak is stupendous, across the dramatic landscape of the Bosnia & Herzegovina-Montenegro border. The forest here hides a world of wonder, with trickling streams, huge trees – some older than 400 years – and rich flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for animal footprints. Europe’s elusive brown bear might be watching…

Lee Brooks Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina
Bruce Bongarten Walking in Bosnia & HerzegovinaThis was an enjoyable trip. Nothing spectacular, but consistently pleasurable and interesting. Learning about the Bosnia’s past and current conditions from our guide, Boris, who lived through the Bosnian War, was fascinating. The landscapes of Bosnia were also appealing, especially that of Sutjeska National Park. Further, the lodgings were more than comfortable, with the exception of that in Sutjeska, which was, for lack of other options, a Soviet-era experience. The food was excellent, too. Lost no weight on this trip. The only serious hiking on the schedule was the climb of Maglic. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that because of heavy rain and lightning. Thus, I would rate the experience I had as moderate, rather than moderate-challenging. Finally, let me give a shoutout and thanks to the other clients on the trip, who greatly added to my enjoyment.
