Program

The Hike

High mountains in Herzegovina region are ideal for snowshoeing as they are covered with plenty of snow in winter. This hike starts on Ruiste at 1000 masl. Hiking trail leads us through high forest to the open valley deep in the Prenj mountain range where we capture beautiful view points of its highest peaks. We take our time to explore, enjoy untouched wilderness and memorize the power of nature. Along the way we take our lunch, snacks a good rest and we had back on our route. Untouched snow and hiking in wilderness of complete silence is a unique experience awaiting you on this hike. After 4-5h return enjoying fresh, perfumed air of Prenj Mountain, we finis our tour with a warm dinner with traditional national dishes of Herzegovina upon which we drive back to Mostar.

Testimonials

Hiking with Miroslav on Prenj mountain was a wonderful experience. We hope to come back next year to visit Blidinje Nature Park.

John GarrisonCustomer

We were group of four and took a tour with Miroslav to Velez mountain. From Brasina peak we enjoyed wonderful views of whole Herzegovina and even catched a glimpse of Mediterranean sea in the distance. This was a highlight of our trip to BIH

Ralph BergerCustomer

Miroslav and I went on 1 day hike on Prenj. He was very fast and clear in communication and arranging logistics. He showed to be very familiar and knowledgeable about the mountain area. Prenj was definitely one of the most beautiful mountains I have seen

My brother and I had a great two days of hiking with Miroslav. The routes were varied but equally beautiful, matched my expectations in terms of difficulty and Miroslav patiently answered all my brother’s questions on the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina
