Description

I will take you on day hike (4-5 hours) down the “King’s Hunting Trail” in the peaceful forest of the Čvrsnica mountains, up to Zljeb and Tise. Imagine taking a walk through history as you travel along King Karadjordjevic’s old hunting trails in the wilderness.

Located in northern Herzegovina, the Čvrsnica mountains are part of the Dinaric Alps. Surrounded by the Neretva River on the east and the Doljanka River in the south, this area is rich in biodiversity and is home to numerous endemic species like the Munika Pine.

This fertile region has many picture-perfect green valleys and beautiful hidden lakes like Blidinje, Crepulja and Crvenjak.  Pločno (2228m), the highest peak in the area, is also known as “Herzegovina’s roof top”. The Čvrsnica mountains are an ideal place to enjoy some peace and quiet where the only sounds you’ll hear are the wind, the hustling of leaves and your own heartbeat.

On this hike, we’ll walk from the green Diva Grabovica valley through a vibrant beech forest. After a steady uphill climb of about 2.5 hours, we will have reached our destination, which overlooks the largest rock face on the Balkan Peninsula. After marveling at this massive 1,000m rock face for a while, we’ll head back down the way we came.

There are multiple natural springs with water so fresh and clear that we can refill our bottles on the trail! Don’t forget to bring your camera along as well as you’ll want to capture the breathtaking views and perhaps snap a selfie or two along the way.

We’ll depart from your accommodation in Mostar at 8:00AM and return around 5:00PM. Round trip transportation from Mostar to the trailhead is included.

Come and join me on this memorable hike through the stimulating forests of the Cvrsnica mountains. Book your trip now!

Hiking Guide

Welcome to your Herzegovina Hiking Adventure. My name is Miroslav Mihalj, born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am the current president of the Croatian Mountaineering Association “Prenj 1933 Mostar”, certified Mountain Guide and Rescuer and I offer hiking, snowshoeing and ski touring tours around this beautiful region.

As mountain hiker I am proud to have climbed some of the highest peaks in Europe and Balkans as well as local peaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which I have climbed numerous times both in winter and summer.

I enjoy nature, that feeling of freedom and serenity the mountains offer. They are a place to find yourself and push your boundaries. I’m lucky to have been born in a place surrounded by beautiful and intact mountain ranges hiding the most exciting nature my country has to offer.

Very much excited to meet you and share with you this truly wonderful world!

We really enjoyed our trip with our guide Mijo. He was extremely good in communicating at WhatsApp and very flexible. We ended our trip in a beautiful river with amazing surrounding view. I can highly recommend to do some hiking in the mountains around Mostar, really worth it.

Due to lack of snow the trip became a hike instead of a snowshoeing trip. Nevertheless it was an awesome experience in pristine mountain area. Miroslav was great. We didn’t meet another sole the full 22km and the lunch stop at the mountain hut was excellent.

Miroslav was a fantastic guide. We wanted to see Outlaw’s Gate up Čvrsnica but didn’t know where to begin, including how to get to the trailhead. Miroslav picked us up from Mostar and took us up to the top. Friendly, knowledgable and funny, we always felt at ease with his expertise on the route. Miroslav is the best guide in Herzegovina - cheers!

My brother and I had a great day hiking with Miroslav, it was a beautiful route and matched my expectations in terms of difficulty. Miroslav patiently answered all my brother’s questions on the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

I enjoyed my time with Miroslav a lot! He is a great person and an even greater tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the whole mountain area around Mostar (and more) and very professional. He made me feel comfortable the whole time and adapted the tour spontaneously to my needs and wishes, which I appreciated a lot! So at the end we even did a beautiful via ferrata which was not the original plan and I loved it so much! He also brings local food a is so knowledgeable about history and other interesting things about Bosnia and Herzegowina. We had good conversations and a great time together! Thank you Miroslav!!:)
