Maglić is a Dinaric mountain located on the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republika Srpska) and Montenegro. The highest peak of the mountain, at 2,388 meters, is situated on the territory of Montenegro, while the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina is also named Maglić and stands at 2,386 meters.

Maglić Mountain is located about 20 kilometers southwest of Foča, along the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. It is bordered by the Sutjeska River to the west, the Volujak Mountain to the southwest, the Drina, Piva, and Tara rivers to the northeast, and the Bioč Mountain to the southeast. The mountain is covered with beech and coniferous forests, with the upper tree line reaching around 1,600 meters. Above this elevation lies a plateau with pastures, numerous ridges, and peaks. The most well-known highland areas include Vučevo, Rujevac, Sniježnica, Prijevor, and Mratinjska Gora. At the foot of Maglić is Perućica, the largest primeval forest in Europe, as well as a large glacial cirque with Trnovačko Lake at 1,517 meters above sea level. The mountain’s base and slopes are rich in water, with many springs, among which the Carev Do spring never runs dry.

Ahead of you is a three-day adventure that combines challenge, adrenaline, natural beauty, and what we love the most – great company and moments you’ll remember for a long time!

After breakfast, transfer to Prijevor (about 13 km on a gravel road), from where we begin our hiking ascent to Maglić (2,386 m), the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The most challenging section of the trail is from Prijevor to the summit, traversing steep terrain with rocky parts, some of which are partially secured with cables. The climb is both physically and technically demanding, but the effort is well worth it—the view from the top is truly breathtaking. From the summit, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Sutjeska Valley, the Perućica primeval forest, the Volujak and Bioč massifs, and the turquoise Trnovačko Lake nestled below on the Montenegrin side. After spending time at the summit, we continue along the mountain ridge, soaking in the impressive vistas, before beginning a steep descent to the lake across scree slopes. At the shore of Trnovačko Lake (1,519 m), we take an extended break for rest, swimming, and refreshment. The return to Prijevor follows an easier path via Suha Jezerina, with no significant physical challenges. We return to the camp in the late evening hours. Dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast:
OPTION 1: Transfer to the entrance of the Hrčavka Canyon, an impressive natural setting within Sutjeska National Park, where a unique adventure awaits us through narrow passages, waterfalls, natural pools, and rocky obstacles. After a short hike and technical preparation, we begin the canyoning tour, which lasts between 4 and 4.5 hours. With the assistance of experienced guides and proper equipment, we navigate natural slides, cascades, pools, waterfalls, and rocky barriers, all within the pristine mountain wilderness.

OPTION 2: For participants who prefer a more relaxed program, a visit to the Sutjeska Battle Memorial Complex is organized. This includes a walk through the sculpture park, a museum visit, and an introduction to the history of one of the most significant battles in this region during World War II.

After both groups finish their activities, we all gather back at the camp for a group lunch.
This is followed by packing and departure for Niš, taking the same route as on arrival, with planned rest stops along the way. Arrival in Niš in the evening hours.
