    to the ageless rhythms of the past,

    and this one-day trip oers unique

    insights. After an hour and a halfs

    drive we arrive in Lukomir, Bosnias

    highest and most isolated mountainvillage. The traditional lifestyles

    of the Dinaric highlanders are still

    practiced here, providing a unique

    window into Europes past. Traditional

    dress is still worn, and goes hand in

    hand with the more familiar signs

    of everyday life, such as electricity

    and running water. On the edge of

    the village you will be treated to abreathtaking view of Rakitnica Canyon,

    OnE day HikinG TriP

    Get close to nature and soak up the majestic

    scenery of Sutjeska National Park, one of the

    natural treasures of the region. After a two-hourdrive from Sarajevo, we arrive in the deep and

    picturesque canyon of Sutjeska River. Hiking

    boots are needed as we veer o to Dragos Saddle

    and take a peek at the Skakavac waterfall deep

    in Peruicas valley. Trekking through the forest,

    youll notice its thick and teeming with endemic

    ora. From here well walk to Prijevor for more

    incredible views. With rugged mountains fram-

    ing the landscape, many have compared the

    experience to Yosemite. At the edge of the forest

    we descend towards the glacier lake Trnovako,

    set within a huge amphitheatre of rocky peaks.

    Weather permitting, we enjoy an icy cold swim

    (only for the very t) followed by a tasty lunch in

    the midst of this awe-inspiring landscape. After

    lunch we head back to civilization, enjoying the

    soft glow of the setting sun above Zelengora and

    Magli, Bosnias highest peak.

    DAY onE: After a two-hour drive througheastern canyons and forests we enter Bosnia and

    Herzegovinas oldest National Park and venture

    up a dirt road to the heart of the park Zelengora.

    At Donje Bare well park the vehicle and take ashort walk leaving our packs at the mountain hut

    at Donje Bare. Pyramid Peak is our destination.

    From here the countrys highest peak towers

    above - Magli at 2,386 metres. Youll also see

    Volujaks rock face barrier and the 1,200-metre

    deep canyon of the Sutjeska River. Well return

    via Gornje Bare to the hut to complete thismagnicent ve-hour hike.

    DAY TWo:We oer two options - a strenuoushike up to Magli or a leisurely walk to Trnovako

    Lake. The day starts with a drive to Peruica

    medieval forest, a true gem in terms of wildlife and

    the large number of endemic plants. The park also

    includes Bosnia and Herzegovinas impressive

    mountain Magli, named after the thick fog that

    often surrounds its rocky peak. We briey stop

    at Drago Sedlo with its colourful view of Peruica

    forest. The lonely waterfall Skakavac plunges

    75 metres down into the dark spruce and beech

    forest.

    Here we will split the group into those who are

    interested in a strenuous four-hour hike up to

    Magli at 2,386 meters and those who prefer an

    easy two-hour hike to Trnovako lake. At the end of

    the day we will all meet up again at the Trnovako

    Glacier Lake, set in a huge amphitheatre of rocky

    peaks. After a well-deserved break we nd our

    way back to the vehicle and return to Sarajevo,

    with photos and memories to treasure.

    FIVE day HikinG TriP

    This is one of the most amazing

    adventures Bosnia and Herzegovina

    has to oer. Explore ancient Peruica

    forest, Bosnias highest peak, and

    several high mountain lakes.

    DAY onE: We depart Sarajevo forSutjeska National Park. After arriving

    in the park, we set o to the tranquil

    lake of Donje Bare where we walk

    through beech forest and mountainous

    terrain to the summit of Planinica

    (1,772m). Our next destination is

    Gornje Bare lake, which we reach via

    a slippery scree and boulder-covered

    slope. At the lake we break for lunch.

    Well return via Gornje Bare to the hut

    to complete this fantastic ve-hour

    hike and transfer back to the hotel in

    Tjentite.

    DAY TWo:Transfer to Orlovako Lakein a remote and relatively unknown

    area of the Zelengora mountain range.

    From the lake we set o for Brego

    mountain along an unmarked path

    over open grassland. We walk through

    a steep valley before coming to the

    foot of a rising ridge that leads us to

    the summit of Brego. After a short

    break we hike down to the various

    lakes of Zelengora. The day ends with a

    swim at Orlovako and an early dinner.

    DAY THrEE: The drive to Peruica medievalforest takes just over 45 minutes. The park is a true

    gem in terms of the wildlife and large number of

    endemic plants, and it also includes Bosnia andHerzegovinas highest mountain, Magli, named

    after the thick fog that often surrounds its rocky

    peak. We leave our car behind at a viewpoint,

    Drago Sedlo, with its memorable view of the

    one of two remaining medieval forests in Europe

    - Peruica . We see the lovely waterfall Skakavac

    plunging 75metres down into the dark forest.Next, we disappear into the magical forest of

    tall spruce and beech trees. The four to five-

    hour hike will be over before you know it. As the

    sun sets we drive back to the hotel .

    DAY Four: Transfer to Lokva Derneite wherewe start our days walk through forest and

    mountainous terrain. The ascent of Magli

    Mountain will take us approximately four hours

    over mountain trails with steep cliffs and is by

    far the most demanding part of todays hike.

    (Please note that this part of the tr ip is not for those

    afraid of heights!) With each step we rise above

    the surrounding peaks scattered around the park,

    until at last we reach Magli, Bosnias highest peak.

    Its the perfect lunch spot, with its s tunning views

    of Montenegro and emerald-green Trnovako

    Lake. It will take us about three hours to descend

    to Trnovako, where we have ample time to enjoy

    the cooling waters and awesome views. From the

    lake we hike back to Prijevor for the ride back to

    the hotel in Tjentite.

    DAY FiVE: Transfer and return to Sarajevo.

    TWO day HikinG TriP

    DAY onE: We trek to Green Visionsmountain hut on Bjelanica Mountain,

    hiking up the opposite side of the

    Olympic Ski Slopes, away from the

    more crowded routes. The hike willtake us through a pine and beech

    forest up to the Gate of Wind where,

    depending on the weather, you may be

    greeted by a warm breeze or a piercing

    south wind. From here we traverse

    up to a small shepherds hut. Well

    have lunch and enjoy the views of thesoutheast side of Bjelanica.

    At this point we start our one-hour

    climb to the top of Hranisava. The slope

    is rather steep in some places but

    oers lovely views of central Bosnia

    and Herzegovina and almost all the

    main mountains in the Central Dinaric

    Alps. From the top well continue

    hiking down to Kronje, a traditional

    summer settlement for shepherds

    coming from as far away as apljina in

    Herzegovina. Kronje is at the foot of

    Krvavac, a magnicent peak partially

    surrounded by pine brush. Locals say

    that it is the place where bears sleep

    over winter. After a brief rest in this

    wild place, we head back to our cosy

    mountain hut for a good nights rest.

    DAY TWo: After breakfast, we trek across thenorthern part of Bjelanica towards Lokvanjsko,

    a tiny lake perched high in the mountains. After

    a short break by the lake with its numerous

    frogs, endemic salamanders and water snakes,

    we set off to Vlahinja summit. After one and

    a half hours, we arrive at the peak with its

    exceptional view of the Olympic skiing resort

    of Babin Do. Here we enjoy a picnic lunch

    before hiking to Sitnik through the beautiful

    mountainous terrain of Bjelanicas interior. The

    hut is a lonely reminder of Bosnias mountain-

    eering past. We return to our hut to pick up our

    overnight gear, and then circle back around

    the lake while being treated to great views of

    Hranisava and Krvavac.

    The western Balkan region is nature

    lovers paradise. Most of the region

    is located in the heart of the central

    Dinaric Alps one of Europes mostunexplored mountain ranges. Join

    before continuing to the tranquil lake

    of Donje Bare. After lunch we walk

    through a beech forest and open

    mountainous terrain to the summit of

    Ugljesin Peak (1858m). We continue

    the stunning circuit back to Gornje

    Bare lake via the Tovamica ridge (1.5

    hours) with Bosnia's highest peaks a

    constant companion on the horizon.

    We then transfer back to the hotel in

    the Tjentiste Valley, before an early

    dinner.

    DAY TWo: From Hotel we will betransferred to Prijevor for some

    incredible views. At the edge of

    the forest we descend towards the

    huge amphitheatre of rocky peaks.

    At the lake we will take a short break,

    before we start steep ascent of

    650 meters to the the top of Sarena

    rhythm of the previous day, we ease into the next

    part of our trip with a gentle walk through pine

    and beech forests in Durmitor National Park.

    Our first destination is the glacial lake Crno. At

    the source of the Mlinski Potok is another hiddenmountain eye lake, Zminje Jezero, or Snake

    Lake. Nestled deep in a quiet forest, you may

    start to feel contemplative in this serene spot.

    On our return to Zabljak, we pass through the

    traditional village of Bosaca. In the afternoon

    hours we turn back to Zabljak.

    DAY Four: Our last day of hiking ends withanother high point and highlight of entire trip: a

    climb of 2,523 meters Bobotov Kuk, Montenegros

    highest peak. Starting relatively high, on Sedlo

    (6,256'), we hike over the grassy slope of Surutka

    toward Zupci (Teeth), a magnicent massif with

    14 sharp rocky teeth - a trademark of Durmitor.

    After circling the teeth, we arrive at the glacial

    Zeleni Vir Lake, the highest in Durmitor, and then

    begin a steep ascent toward the top of Bobotov

    Kuk. We enjoy lunch here, and then descend via the

    For thousands of years, Bosnia and Herzegovina

    has been the crossroads of civilisations. Nowhere

    else in Europe can you nd such a magical mix of

    Europe and the Near East. The Slavs settled this

    Balkan heartland in the 6th century and theirsubsequent history has created the most multi-

    ethnic society in southern Europe. Here you will

    nd the great mystical Byzantine traditions,

    the Romanesque inuence from the Franciscan

    church, the small but signicant traces of the

    Jewish communities that settled here in the 15th

    century, and unmistakable oriental trappings ofthe Ottoman Empire. Bosnia and Herzegovina

    is a natural wonderland, blessed with rugged

    canyons, lush forests, crystal-clear rivers and

    lakes, with a precious mlange of the cultures

    and traditions that have evolved from this

    mountainous region of the Southern Dinaric

    Alps. It is a place that will stun you with its naturalbeauty, inspire you with its cultural richness, and

    touch you with its warm and genuine hospitality.

    At Green Visions, were passionate about the

    wonders of our homeland and look forward to

    sharing them with you.

    Founded in the 15th century, Mostar is the jewel

    of the Balkans. The architecture is a brilliant

    combination of Turkish ingenuity with local

    traditions of craftsmanship. Undoubtedly, you

    will have heard much about this city, which was

    tragically divided during the conict in the

    early 1990s. You can still see the scars of war,

    but these days Mostar is once again a warm and

    bustling place with a fascinating history to be

    encountered around every corner. We will spend

    the late morning and early afternoon exploring

    its unique sights. After lunch we take a 15-minute

    drive to the nearby village of Blagaj, home of the

    Buna Spring and the adjacent Ottoman house/

    monastery. The spring here is amazing it ows

    out of a 200m cli wall, and is the source of the

    Buna River. The Ottoman sultan was impressed,

    and ordered a Tekija to be built right next to it.

    This 16th century house/monastery was built

    for the Dervish cults and is still one of the most

    mystical places in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    In Blagajs Old Town, the newly built heritage trail

    provides a pleasant 30-45 minute walk around

    the town. Sights include the Tekija house and the

    17th century Velagi house, a beautiful example

    of Ottoman masonry. In the vicinity you will also

    come across old watermills that were formerlydriven by the fast-owing Buna River.

    outdoor adventure activities for

    children and young people. With

    youth unemployment at an all-time

    high in Bosnia and Herzegovina, moreand more young people are leaving

    for countries with higher living

    standards. Our vision is to increase

    the opportunities that responsible

    tourism oers to young people and

    their families.

    Together with the GTZ, we started theOpen Travel Network to provide a sound

    base for youth tourism development. It

    addresses the issues of unemployment,

    lack of training, certification and
