Detailed itinerary
1
Enjoy a complimentary pickup and transfer from your accommodation to the starting point of the hike and back. We depart from your site at 7 am where our English spiking guide greets you and transports you to the slopes of Cvrsnica Mountain. This hike leads us through endemic Munika Pine woods. Along the way we pass down valleys and rare small huts once inhabited with cattle breeders during summer periods but today returned to the wilderness of nature. Near to the end of our route we walk by Lake Crvenjak often completely frozen at winter times. After approximately 4-5 hour hike we reach one of the most beautiful destinations in mountains of Bosna and Herzegovina, Hajdučka Vrata (Outlaw’s Gate) that are protected as Natural Monument of the country since 1985. Formed by wind, rain and sun during thousands of years the Gates rise from the rocks and form an exquisite arch. The legend says that Hajduci (Outlaws fighting for freedom among people during Ottoman Empire) proclaimed themselves there and everyone who passed the gate became bulletproof. This spectacular spot brings us breathtaking views all around, overlooking the nearby mountains hidden behind this stunning phenomenon. We take our time for some camera shots to memorize the power of nature and after a good rest and snacks we head back on our route. Upon return we visit the hut Vilinac situated 1960m above sea level. It overlooks nearby mountain tops and deep river canyons. After complementary snacks and drinks we rest for a while and return back to our starting point from which we return at app 5:00pm to your accommodation site in Mostar.
