Snapshot of Prenj Mountain adventure

The adventure starts from Konjic and goes over the asphalted part of the road till the Bijela village, located 10 km away from the town. Then, the journey takes around 2 hours of drive on the macadam road, passing through dense forest from Bijela to the Tisovica valley (1290 m), the extremely beautiful five kilometer long glacial valley which offers the view on the highest peak of this majestic mountain. From Tisovica the path goes through the beautiful coniferous forest till the mountain hut Vrutak (1650 m), which is hidden in a thick forest of endemic Bosnian white pine.

This place is ideal for a break or for the night in the mountains, if you decide to spend a few days here. The shelter has a drinking spring water and all the conditions for a stay in the mountains. This is also a popular place from which you can climb all the surrounding peaks of Prenj.  All the while hiking through the Tisovica and further to the Zelena Glava peak  provides unforgettable views and landscapes that will follow you for a lifetime. This is the simplest, shortest and easiest climb the highest peaks of Prenj.
