Maglić Mountain, standing at 2,386 meters, is the tallest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is located along the border with Montenegro. Alongside the nearby Volujak and Zelengora, Maglić is regarded as one of the most stunning mountainous regions in the country. This picturesque area, rich in forests, was designated as National Park Sutjeska in 1962 for its protection. At the base of the Maglić massif lies Trnovačko Jezero (Trnovačko Lake), a beautiful glacial lake situated at an elevation of 1,517 meters, which remains relatively unknown to many tourists.

Route details
Day 1
To Trnovačko Lake
We departure from Mostar and along the road stop for grocery shopping. First on our tour is a visit to small village Tjentiste that hides a monument from World War 2 which rises high to the sky in memory of fallen soldiers during Battle for Sutjeska.
Continuing our drive we enter in the territory of National Park and one last remaining jungle in Europe – Perućica. Easy walk leads us to the viewpoint where we capture the intact nature of the jungle and its waterfall, the highest one in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Not far ahead, we continue our journey with 2h hike to Trnovačko Lake which as heart-shaped green beauty is considered as one of the most stunning lakes in the region. It’s situated on the 1520m above sea level beneath Maglić Mountain.
We camp by the lake in the tents or in a mountain hut and enjoy a swim (in case the weather conditions allow) or a visit to the local cattle breeders that live on the mountain during the summer period. The rest of the evening is reserved for some relax time by the fire or dinner and local beer that can be bought from the ranger.
Day 2
Maglić Mountain
After breakfast we start our 3 h climb to the highest peak of Maglić Mountain where we meet spectacular views all around. During a clear day it is possible to capture almost all Bosnia and Herzegovina’s mountains fare deep in the continent, so prepare your cameras for beautiful shots. Having took a selfie or two to memorize this colorful scenery we rest for a while, and after a snack and some chilltime we return to our camping spot by the lake.
Swimming and relaxing by the lake is most recommended or you can as well choose an option of domestic meal (has to be preordered) prepared by our local cattle breeders.
After we rested, we continue our 2h walk back to our vehicle and return to Mostar.
