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.
