Bosnia and Herzegovina's oldest National Park - Sutjeska - is close to my idea of paradise. Part of it is actually in Montenegro 🇲🇪, containing the heart-shaped Trnovačko Jezero (Trnovac Lake), which I hiked to. ⛰️We then climbed Mount Maglić (2,386 metres), the highest peak is all of Bosnia & Herzegovina. 🇧🇦

🏞️ Sutjeska National Park also has Perućica, one of Europe's last remaining primeval forests with its mystical atmosphere, leading up to the 75m tall (Vodopad) Skakavac Waterfall. Along the way we also met a couple of characters who live in the National Park, who plied us with rakija (the ubiquitous Balkan fruit brandy).🍶

I stayed at the Rafting Camp HIGHLANDER ([ Ссылка ]) in a basic but comfortable wooden cabin, and also enjoyed hanging out by the central campfire bar. Rafting Camp HIGHLANDER also arranged my guide Oggy ([ Ссылка ]) who was great (and tall), though didn't speak English, so I thankfully had the good company of a Macedonian couple - Elena & Nikola - to help me translate and hang out with.🇲🇰

Sutjeska National Park was the perfect climax to end my 10 day exploration / road trip 🚗 of Bosnia & Herzegovina (including the Republic Srpska) in September 2019. Bosnia & Herzegovina has a somewhat painful past, but it's such a beautiful country with very friendly people, and I really recommend this fascinating country you visit when we can travel again.

I spent a long time putting this video together, so I hope you enjoy coming along on my adventure. Let me know what you think in the comments. I'd especially love to know if you've been to Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Balkans.
