Sutjeska National Park

Sutjeska is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s oldest parks. It is famous for the Partisan victory over the Germans in World War II and there is a memorial complex commemorating the event. The park itself is 17,500 ha of magnificent wilderness, including Perućica primeval forest. Skakavac Waterfall can be seen from the lookout point – this 75m waterfall is dwarfed by the massive blanket of green trees that covers the valley. Mt. Maglić, BiH’s highest peak at 2,386m is located in the park and presents a challenging climb for experienced hikers. Zelengora Mountain is great for hiking and walking and there are several newly renovated mountain huts on its slopes where bear and chamois sightings are common.
