Hike to the waterfall only allowed with a guide!

Beautiful national park with a great diversity of flora and fauna. The Zelengora Mountains and the Perucica primeval forest, which you can only enter with a ranger, are highly recommended.

There are several routes to the summit. One comes from Prijevor and is quite steep and not so safe. You can also get to the summit from Montenegro. The route is not so strenuous there. Of course you can do both routes - there and back, as in my case. The view from Maglić is very beautiful. There are also quite a few people on the way.

Meet Bosnia Tours from Sarajevo offers guided and self guided hiking tours

a beautiful lonely area!

This memorial (with a small museum) commemorates the Battle of Sutjeska (Bitka na Sutjesci). This was codenamed Fall Schwarz by the Germans. The battle lasted from May 15 to June 16, 1943 and aimed to destroy Josib Broz Tito's Partisan army. The Germans deployed 127,000 soldiers from Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, the NDH and Greek SS, along with 300 aircraft. The Partisans had 18,000 men. After heavy fighting, the Partisans managed to break out of the encirclement with the majority of the men. All those left behind, including an entire hospital, were murdered by the Axis armies. A total of 6391 Partisans and 2000 civilians were killed. Since most of the Partisans were able to escape together with Josib Broz Tito, the Fall Schwarz operation had failed. This battle is therefore seen as the turning point of the battle in Yugoslavia in World War II. (Source: Tracesofwar.nl)

Sutjeska is the oldest of Bosnia Herzegovina’s national parks. Established in 1962 around the village of Tjentište, it displays wild kilometers of beauty, adventure, and history. Here, nature knows no boundaries and humanity has been pushed to its very limits. The highest peak in the country is also found here: the awe-inspiring mt Maglić (2,386 m), straddling the border with Montenegro. Also mt. Zelengora arises here. It might not be as imponent as mt Maglić, but it certainly competes in the beauty stakes, hiding seven magnificent glacial lakes within its plateaus and valleys. In Sutjeska we also find Perućica reserve, the largest preserved rainforest reserve in Europe. This dense and verdant landscape is home to a wonderfully diverse collection of flora and fauna.

The Peruica jungle has been growing for 20,000 years. In -Europe you can only find such old forests in Montenegro or Belarus. A large part of the 2,600 plant species in Sutjeska are native to this forest. From the impenetrable thicket, spruces, pines and beeches shoot into the sky. The treetops are enthroned up to sixty meters above the forest floor. Some of these giants are over 300 years old.
