- Duration: 2 day(s)
- Location: Vranica Mountain
Vranica Mountain (2,112 metres) is part of central Bosnia's largest mountain range located just outside of the famous old gold town of Fojnica. The group will drive 1.5 hours to the Jezernica mountain hut situated in the beautiful, thick pine forests of Vranica. Crystal clear streams will accompany the group on the entire trip. From Jezernica the group will drive up to Prokoško Glacier Lake at 1,635 metres. Prokoško Glacier Lake is nestled in a valley of traditional Katunis (Bosnian shepherds' huts). From the lake, the Fojnička River cascades 800 meters below. The group will break for lunch at one of the katunis and enjoy traditional highland foods among the spectacular surroundings. After exploring the area around the lake the group will continue on a gentle 400 metre climb to Ločika Peak (2,107 metres) and Krstac - which has perhaps the most phenomenal views in all of Bosnia. From this peak almost the entire central Bosnian mountain range can be seen, and on a clear day, visibility extends all the way to the northern Herzegovina Mountains.
On the second day the group will explore one of the ancient shepherd trails connecting Prokoško Lake with the surrounding villages. The area is known for its wild cranberry, blueberries, porcini mushrooms and wildlife. This eight hour walk can best be described as a ridge hike with very few steep inclines. It is essentially a 12 kilometre, beautiful flower carpeted mountain meadow walk. After a long day on this gentle giant the group will reach Brusnica with its numerous shepherds' huts, which is the final destination of the tour.
