The path starts next to the gates of Catholic monastery at village of Masna luka, and
enters thick endemic pine forest. It easily crosses the hill towards the valley of Borievac
1,2 km away. Once again in the pine forest, path enters its steeper part and exits the
forest at 1600 m.a.s.l. on vrsnica plateau. The path further reaches the crossing offering
path to Mountain hut at Vilinac and peak Plono, after taking the turn to Plono path is

talus. Military base on the summit provides water and shelter. In late July, memorial hike

This is the convential approach towards the Hajduka vrata location starting at village of
Diva Grabovica 35 km north of Mostar on the main road M17, in direction of Jablanica.
One should reach hydro electrical plant Grabovica and turn west across river Neretva.
After 4, 5 km of road, starting point presents itself in form of info-board at 250 m.a.s.l.
Path immediately enters thick hornbeam, and then beech and pine forests. It ascends to
the mountaineers lodge lijeb at 900 m.a.s.l. Duration of this stage is approximately
two hours. A separate path leads from the lodge to the viewpoint which offers unique
view of the surrounding area. Two water springs can be found on the path between Diva
Grabovica and lijeb. After 1,5 h of ascent, path enters the area of Tise lodge at 1380
m.a.s.l. whith a nearby viewpoint. In the next three hours, the path leads across Strmenica
to Hajduka vrata, certainly one of the most beautiful spots, not only on vrsnica, but in
Bosnia-Herzegovina as well.

Ascent to Vran is especially suitable for
recreational hikers and mountaineers
as the western and northern side offer
passage through the richness of carstic
landscapes. The starting point is placed
in Trnovac, two kilometres after the
crossroad in Blidinje in direction of Rama.
The beauty of the landscape increases
with the ascent. After the first steep part,
one can find a valley with water reservoir
constructed during the times of Austro-
Hungarian Monarchy. The name confirms
it: Carska lokva or The Emperors Pond.

CRVANJ Through the European Tibet
Severed from the rest of Herzegovinian
mountain ranges, mountain Crvanj is
placed in eastern Herzegovina. Similar
to mountain Vran, Crvanj differs from
characteristic direction of Dinaric
mountains, as it traverses in direction
north-south. The mountain is bounded
by still minuscule river Neretva on
the north, by the Nevesinje plateau
The path starts at the plateau of
Morine, known for its landscape
scarcity as the European Tibet. Path is
reached by the road Nevesinje - Gacko,
and then due north towards the village
of Ulog. Marked path begins close to
the medieval necropolis Svatovsko
groblje, and it leads west towards
the viewpoint. Path then continues
northwest toward Zimomor peak.
It passes through the karstic terrain
inwrought by many larger and
smaller valley. After its final ascent,
it reaches Zimomor peak. The view
from Zimomor reveals the diversity
of Herzegovinian landscape: Vele on
the southwest, Prenj on the northwest,
