Overview

Bosnia and Herzegovina with its fascinating history, delicious cuisine, vibrant cities, primeval forests, rich cultures and warm welcome is an exciting destination for a walking and cultural holiday in the heart of the Balkans. This wonderful adventure kicks off with the Balkan gem of Mostar and spectacular Ottoman Bridge. Next we head to the Cvrsnica and Bjelasnica Mountains for some off the beaten track hiking deep in to the heart of a timeless landscape where life has stood still for over a 100 years. After the mountains we explore the vibrant capital of Sarajevo including the Latin Bridge and atmospheric Copper Alley. Feeling invigorated after mountain walks and sightseeing we hike to the summit of Mount Maglic (2386m), the highest peak in the country. A spot of wine tasting in the charming old town of Trebinje is the perfect way to celebrate our summit success before heading to Dubrovnik in neighbouring Croatia for the final night. Once part of Former-Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina has risen like a phoenix and combined with Croatia offers the perfect walking destination for anyone looking to experience this very unique and special part of the Balkans.

This unique holiday offers a great mix of walking and sightseeing, with daily walks and cultural highlights before hiking to the summit of Mount Maglic. KE's Balkan adventure is a genuine off the beaten track walking journey which follows wild and dramatic mountain paths between valleys and villages with 4 full days of walking and 2 days of sightseeing. We walk on a variety of trails through an undiscovered country, with the longer day on Maglic near the end of the holiday after a relaxed day of sightseeing in Sarajevo. Maglic summit at just over 2300m is optional, and if you decide not to head up to the top it won’t take away your enjoyment from the rest of the holiday. The ascent of Maglic includes narrow trails plus small sections of fixed alpine cables and non-technical scrambling which the leader will guide you through.  There are times (during very dry periods) when the guide may provide the group with helmets. We've added a variety of accommodation including two nights in a traditional mountain hut and each day you’ll only need to carry your day pack.

Why KE?

As Balkan experts we're proud of 5* reviews for this holiday. Enjoy wonderful mountain walks including  Lukomir the highest village in the country, to ensure you're fully prepared for Mount Maglic. Standing on Bosnia’s highest peak deserves a reward, so we've included wine tasting in Trebinje to celebrate.
