Sutjeska National Park 

Sutjeska National Park is located on the Eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, close to Montenegrin border, on the main route Belgrade-Visegrad-Srbinje-Tjentište Dubrovnik-Trebinje.

Sutjeska is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's oldest national parks. The national park itself is 17,500 hectares of magnificent and untouched wilderness. Sutjeska National Park hosts one of the last two remaining primeval forests in Europe, called Perucica. Beech trees tower over 60 metres high and endemic black pines stem from the rocky faces that protect the ancient forest.

Skakavac waterfall can be seen from the look-out point – this seventy five metre plus waterfall is dwarfed by the massive blanket of green trees that cover the valley. The Sutjeska River has carved a stunning valley through the middle of the park and divides Zelengora (Green Peaks) Mountain from Maglic and Volujak Mountains.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's highest peak, Maglic at over 2,386m, is located in the park, directly on the border with Montenegro. It presents a challenging climb for even experienced hikers. Zelengora Mountain is great for hiking and walking and there are several newly renovated mountain huts on the mountain. Bear and wolf sightings are common.

The area of the national park is famous for the Partisan victory over the Germans in WW II and there are large stone monuments commemorating the event.
