OVERVIEW

Sutjeska is a protected mountain region in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with forested valleys, alpine terrain and remote villages. A major wartime memorial landscape is also contained within the park. The combination of glacial lakes, deep forest and high peaks across a rugged mountain region of wilderness and memorial history and demanding trails gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Hiking ranges from gentle lake routes to demanding summit paths. Weather changes quickly, and local guides are useful for remote sections. Experiencing glacial lakes alongside deep forest and high peaks across a rugged mountain region of wilderness reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
