Itinerary

Welcome to the Sutjeska National Park. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting around 6 pm. We will get to know each other better at the meeting with a welcome drink and hand you the room keys.

If you have come to the Tjentište, then it is inevitable that you visit the Memorial Complex of the Battle of the Sutjeska which is seen from the main road. This complex is built in memory of one of the most difficult and bloodiest battles of World War II in which Partisan forces engaged against joint German-Italian and quisling troops in this area.

Dinner is planned for 8 pm in the restaurant of national cuisine “Komlen”.

After breakfast until 8 am, you will meet your mountain guide and driver, and together you will head to the unreal green landscapes characteristic of Ireland, localized on our beauty Zelengora. Zelengora is a wonderful location for horseback riding tours. Our land-based adventure trips take you into the heart of Zelengora Mountain!

We use all-terrain vehicles to reach the stud farm located in the village of Vrbnica. Our host will assess your riding skills and choose horses for the participants of the arrangement. A relaxed and positive attitude towards these sensitive animals is necessary, which will not be difficult because only true animal lovers can choose this arrangement.

We will gallop towards the Black and White Lakes, which are ten kilometers away from the stud in one direction. We will organize a lunch in nature near Black Lake. After returning to the stud, we return to the accommodation by the same route to collect our belongings and head in the direction of Tjentište for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast until 8 am, you will meet your mountain guide and driver, and together you will head to the unreal green landscapes characteristic of Ireland, localized on our beauty Zelengora.

On the way to the mountain eyes, lakes Gornje and Donje Bare, we will pass through the canyon of the river Hrčavka, where the most demanding adrenaline activity on the territory of Sutjeska National Park, canyoning is realized. We will also visit the memorial from World War II dedicated to the national hero Sava Kovacevic.

At the crossroads, we will replace the ride with walking and head slightly uphill towards the Gornje Bare lake hidden at the foot of the Uglješin peak. From the lake itself, there are incredible views of the green pastures of Zelengora after which it got its name, as well as the peaks of Planinica and the ridge Tovarnica.

In the same way, we return to the fork and in the other direction, we reach lake Donje Bare. The lake is surrounded by green meadows and forests, and the beauty and magic of this place were recognized by Yugoslav President Tito, who had his mountain house on this site. After visiting the lake with a light half-hour walk, we reach the Borić lookout point, which is considered to be the “and” in “Bosnia and Herzegovina” :). The name itself has its roots in the Pine tree, and from the lookout point, there is an unforgettable view of the largest peaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Maglić and Volujak, as well as the largest jewel of our country, the Perućica rainforest.

The scene and sounds of this place are ideal for lunch in nature, after which your arrangement ends.
