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!

The hiking tour with zvone was absolutely great - we had a really good time!

We went on a hike with Mirela, who was clearly experienced and very familiar with the trail. Reaching the peak was an incredible feeling — the views were absolutely breathtaking and made every step worthwhile. We enjoyed a relaxed lunch at the top, took some time to rest, and then began our descent. The ascent was well-paced and manageable, but the descent proved more challenging. At times, it felt like Mirela wasn’t adjusting her pace to match ours, as she was often quite far ahead. When we asked how much longer we had to go, her time estimates didn’t feel accurate, which made it harder to manage our energy and expectations. Overall, we appreciated her knowledge and the stunning scenery, but a more attentive and supportive approach on the way down would have made the experience even better.

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.
