The National Park Sutjeska

The National Park Sutjeska

The National Park Sutjeska is one of the oldest in the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located territorially in three municipalities, Foča, Gacko and Kalinovik. It covers an area of ​​17,500 hectares. More than 66% of the park area is covered with forest, which is an inexhaustible treasure trove for enjoying the natural beauty of this place. This area is part of the Dinarides, which further extends deep into the Balkan Peninsula, all the way to Prokletije on the border with Montenegro and Albania. For years, the Sutjeska River has cut its way through a raging canyon and flows through the very heart of this national park. There is also the last rainforest in Europe, Perućica, with the famous Skakavac waterfall.

The NPS also includes Maglić, the highest mountain peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2386 m high. Mount Maglić is located on the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro and can be approached from the national park, which is a great challenge for mountaineers, climbers and similar nature lovers. Along the top of Maglić, in neighboring Montenegro, is Trnovačko Lake.

Zelengora is known for its eight glacial clear lakes, known as Mountain Eyes: Black Lake, White Lake, Orlovac Lake (also known as Borilovac Lake), Gornje Bare, Donje Bare, Stirin Lake, Kotlanica Lake, Kladopolje Lake, and the artificial South Lake.

All the beauties of this place are included in the IUCN International List of National Parks.

The ticket price for Sutjeska National Park is 5 KM
