What's this trip about?

    Remote, wild, untapped by mass tourism, Bosnia & Herzegovina is only just attracting the attention of the hiking community. Those lucky few who visit, however, return with tales of an untouched paradise, practically unheard of in Europe. This walking trip includes the essentials: ascending Maglić, the highest mountain in Bosnia; hiking a section of the Via Dinarica, which our local team played a key role in creating and developing; and exploring Sutjeska National Park. There’s plenty of cultural intrigue too, with sightseeing in the history-soaked cities of Sarajevo, Mostar, and Dubrovnik in Croatia.Explore the wild hiking trails of Europe’s best-kept secret
