Day hike to the top of Čabulja and through the territory of the wild horses, near Mostar
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!

Day hike in the hidden canyon of the Bijela, near Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
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.

2-day Hike on Čvrsnica in Bosnia and Herzegovina with summits on Veliki Vilinac & Pločno
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!!:)

Day hike to the top of Čabulja and through the territory of the wild horses, near Mostar
I cannot recommend Miroslav more highly. We had the best day hiking with him! He set a really nice pace, well suited to our level, was very thoughtful and attentive and showed us some amazing lookouts. He was extremely professional, helpful, kind and knowledgeable, not just about hiking but the area and Bosnian history. He went above and beyond to make the most of our day and took us to a beautiful river to go swimming with the locals after a hot day walking and then showed us a great local place for dinner. Having done a lot of hiking and climbing with lots of different guides, Miroslav is one of the best. He’s extremely experienced and a great person and guide. Was a great day walking and hanging out. Would have loved to stay and do more trips with him!

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a former Yugoslav Republic that gained its independence after a bloody and acrimonious civil war. Evidence of the war may be seen everywhere you go in the country, but the spirit and resilience of its people are as strong as ever. From the massive mountains towering over Sarajevo to the rugged shoreline of the Adriatic Sea, Bosnia and Herzegovina is an outdoor adventurer’s paradise waiting to be discovered. You could spend years exploring every corner of this small but diverse country. However, two weeks in more realistic and still an adequate amount of time to discover some of what this beautiful place has to offer. If you have the time, head down to Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina. Located in a little valley, the city offers great insight into the country’s complex history as well as close proximity to Blidinje Nature Park and Mt Čvrsnica
