Adventure and NatureThe Maglic mountain climbing adventure is a destination where beautiful landscapes and the richness of endemic plants leave no one indifferent. As you climb higher, the views open up and the noise of everyday life slowly disappears. Maglic is the kind of place where nature does the talking.

Furthermore, it is surrounded by the oldest and largest rainforest in Europe, as well as the most beautiful lake in the Balkans, Trnovacko Lake.
Moreover, Maglic is located within the Sutjeska National Park, the oldest national park in BiH.

The end of the Maglic mountain hiking adventure.
Fantastic adventure climbing maglic.. a wonderful experience with a great guide and a great company.. would thoroughly recommend using these guides for adventures on Maglic and throughout bosnia.. an unforgettable experience
The experience I had with these organizers was amazing. We were a small group of 4 (including the tour guide). We climbed Maglić (the tallest mountain in BiH), then camped by the Rikovačko lake not far from the mountain top. On the next day, we went hiking on the tallest mountain of Montenegro (Bobotov Kuk). The experience was very well organized, the tour guide was extremely kind and friendly!
Definitely recommend!!!
Amazing hiking, such stunning scenery. Maglic mountain is an unexpected beauty..
We’ve had the most amazing hike to Maglic and Trnovacko jezero. There was an adventure in there too when we were surrounded by bulls, but I’d need to write a blog to tell you all about it. The view from the top of Bosnia and Herzegovina is amazing. It helped that we had the sunniest of days and could see for miles ahead.
Wonderful nature reserve, primordial forest, accessible yet demanding. One can really feel the call on nature in the wonderful Sutjeska National Park with mount Maglic as the epicenter.
Views abound, and the climb is a rewarding challenge. Rangers are friendly and will do anything to make your stay possible.
