Bosnia · NATIONAL PARKS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 2 national park trips that hold up, each with what it costs, what travellers said and the one thing to check before you pay.
Leave Sarajevo at 8 a.m. for a guided mountain hike from Prijevor to Trnovačko Lake, where a lakeside picnic and cold swim await. Private transport, hotel pickup, and a stop at the Tjentište war memorial make this a full 10 to 12-hour day for moderately fit walkers.
“Really enjoyed today, my guide was great, he was very chatty, very knowledgeable about the area and as I was solo I felt like I was with friend.”
Travel from Mostar with an English-speaking guide and your own private group to Sutjeska National Park. Choose trails suited to your ability, look for views of Maglic Peak and Trnovacko Lake, and learn about Perucica primeval forest and the 1943 Battle of Sutjeska.
“This is an amazing trip to the largest rainforest in Europe, the landscape is basically untouched and it’s so peaceful. The views are beautiful and there is a range of trails to suit every ability. Our guide was fun, friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with everything, as well as providing us with snacks and water. If you enjoy getting outdoors and breathing in the fresh air you’ve got to book this!”
Pick a river, a bazaar or a mountain road.
