Basic information
"We have selected a few hidden spots for you away from the everyday passerby, all so you can spend your active vacation enjoying nature and nurturing your body and spirit, especially if you're not a fan of lazing around on the beach." Green summer is the right choice for you.
Experience Zelengora in its true outdoor activity sense! Join us for an extended weekend, climb the peaks of Zelengora, and visit its lakes. The Zelengora plateau is located south of East Sarajevo, within the municipalities of Foča and Kalinovik. The access road, a 17 km gravel road, starts from the village of Jelešci, situated in the Green Zone of the Via Dinarica. From Čemerno, there is a slightly rougher gravel road approximately 23 km long. At its base, the Neretva River springs forth, while the Sutjeska River separates it from the mountains of Volujak and Maglić. Glacial lakes, including the Hrčavka and Govza Rivers, can be found across its expanse, with 8 lakes that we will visit on this occasion. Our adventurous journey starts from a secure mountain lodge, and throughout your stay, you will have the opportunity to see Štirinsko and Kotlaničko lakes, Orlovačko and Jugovo (the only artificial lake on Zelengora), Crno and Bijelo lakes, Upper and Lower Bare lakes. On the last day, we will visit Tara Paradiso camp and descend with boats down the famous Tara River for rafting. Additionally, we will climb the highest peaks, Bregoč and Uglješin Vrh. You will also have the chance to pick blueberries and mountain teas.
