Discover the Beauty of Perucica Primary Forest

Sutjeska National Park, the largest and oldest national park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is home to one of the last primeval forests in Europe. The forest is under UNESCO protection and features trees that soar over 60 meters tall. In the heart of the forest, we can find the breathtaking Skakavac Waterfall, which stands 75 meters high and enhances the park’s beauty. Perucica forest hiking offers a unique experience of exploring, where you can enjoy stunning nature and diverse flora and fauna.

The misty cascade of Skakavac waterfall surrounded by Perucica forest looks magical.  Ancient beech and spruce trees tower over the mossy paths where you hike, and every moment you spend in this old forest fills you with a sense of wonder.

Adventurers’ favorite hiking trail in Perucica Forest

 

The Perucica forest hike starts in the morning from our mountain base camp. We have a short drive of 10 kilometers towards the Perucica Forest. Once we arrive, we’ll begin our exploration of the Perucica primary forest. The hike to Skakavac Waterfall, located in the heart of the forest, will take us at least 1.5 hours. This spot is one of the deepest and most beautiful areas in the forest. While we enjoy the view and the wilderness, we will take a break for a snack. After hiking back for about 2 hours, we will return to our car and drive back to base camp, where lunch will be waiting for us.

This arrangement can also be extended or combined with some of our other offerings.

We had a really good time here. Not a lot of bells and whistles, just the most necessary things, homemade with a lot of love.
The operators were super welcoming and helpful.
Above all, I thought it was great that things were so honest and warm here.
The atmosphere was great but the food was even better. Simple, but so delicious!
All ingredients are regional and local.
We found it absurdly delicious, but the chef assured us his only secret was the right amount of salt. So it must have been the ingredients.

We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful brand new campground nestled in the mountains above Tjentište. Freshly built and super clean facilities. There is a beautiful wooden cabin - restaurant with the most amazing views of the mountain range where they serve great locally sourced food and cold beer. Branko and his team are legends and very good at what they do, they took us canyoning in nearby Hrčavka canyon and we had an amazing time. They also gave us some great tips for hiking routes for the next day. At the end we extended our stay, the location of the campground could not be better for exploring the stunning Sutjeska national park! Book any activity with those guys and I can guarantee you'll have a great time in one of the most beautiful national parks Europe has to offer!

Branco (one of the owners and guides) is a really cool guide, and our experience was awesome too. He's really talkative and ready to explain just about anything if you're interested. The canyoning tour we took was beautiful and exciting at the same time. Took a short 2 hours for us. Definitely worth it, recommended!

We went on the rafting trip with Outdoor Tara and it was 10/10 fantastic! They not only helped us arrange accommodation at the nicest rafting camp with great food the night before but also took us on a wonderful and exciting rafting trip. We loved the small group tour and on our trip it was just my family of 5 on one raft, which was super important. We were also able to leave early to avoid the rush on the river and everything was so flexible. We felt well taken care of the whole time.

Cherry on top was the awesome videos taken from the GoPro that we got for free after the rafting trip!
