Prijevor Viewpoint

The Prijevor plateau is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Sutjeska National Park, at 1,668 metres, at the foot of Maglić – the highest mountain in BiH. Ringed by giants over two thousand metres – Maglić, Volujak, Snježnica and the Zelengora heights – and backed by the virgin forest of Perućica, Prijevor gives the feeling of standing in the middle of an untouched continent.

It is the departure point for the park's leading destinations: the Maglić summit and Trnovačko Lake can each be reached in under three hours. On the plateau lives one of the last traditional highland settlements in the region, where hosts offer cheese and kajmak, and guests can rent mountain huts for a longer stay. The plateau is rich in medicinal herbs, endemic wildflowers and blueberries, and a spring of ice-cold water flows at its centre. A tall observation tower offers a panorama well worth every climb.
