Hike, Raft and Explore Bosnia and Montenegro

Meet your host and fellow adventurers in Dubrovnik and head straight to the Sutjeska National Park. Visit the Valley of Heroes Monument and learn about the history behind these mountains, while passing the green hills and glittering lakes of this stunning national park – the oldest in the region and home to one of the largest colonies of brown bears in the Balkans. Head back down and then on to your accommodation, where a hearty dinner will be waiting.

Begin the day by ascending to the highest point in Bosnia, the 2386m summit of Mount Maglic, using steel cables for the most exposed sections. Enjoy panoramic views from the top and then descend to the scenic Trnovačko Lake and take a welcome break on the shore. Continue down through dense conifer forest to your accommodation for the night in Tjentiste.

Adopt a more relaxed pace today, as you explore the glacial lakes of the Durmitor National Park in Montenegro – including the spectacular Crno (Black) Lake and Zminje (Snake) Lake. Spend some free time in this tranquil setting and then rest your legs as you prepare for tomorrow’s challenge.

Set off on a scenic hike to the top of Crvena Greda (2175m). Navigate some rocky sections near the peak itself to enjoy the view of the Durmitor massif from the summit, then head down to Žabljak for a a celebratory drink and a chance to sample the local cuisine, before heading to your accommodation for a well-earned rest.
