This mountain belongs to both the Black Sea and Adriatic watersheds, making it a natural gem. As we climb the trails of Treskavica, we will follow the legends of the 365 springs, and every moment spent on this mountain feels like a journey through a magical world. On this tour, you will not only enjoy nature but also have the opportunity to try local specialties and natural products that make this area unique. Along the way, we will visit Kazane, a natural phenomenon on the Željeznica River, where the water appears to boil. To complete the experience, you will be introduced to beekeeping, where beekeeper Čolić will reveal the secrets of his craft and offer the chance to purchase his authentic products. |
| Zelengora and the Ascent to Bregoč |
| After Treskavica, the next stop is Zelengora, with its eight glacial lakes, which are true natural wonders. The emerald green waters of these lakes, known as "mountain eyes," will leave you speechless. Our mission is to visit two of these eight lakes, so we can enjoy their tranquility and breathtaking landscapes. The climax of this hiking adventure comes at the summit of Bregoč, the highest peak of Zelengora, with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Every step in this wild environment takes you deeper into the heart of nature and allows you to experience breathtaking beauty. This moment is a true challenge for all nature lovers and hikers, as it leads you to a peak that promises incredible views and unforgettable memories. |

Sarajevo is a perfect blend of East and West, and through its landmarks, you will feel the scent of past centuries. To complete the experience, don’t forget to try the famous Sarajevo ćevapi, an essential part of every visit to this city.
