Sutjeska National Park

National Park Sutjeska

Home to Perucica, One of Europe’s Last Primeval Forests in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sutjeska This unique national park is both the largest and the oldest in BiH and as a large number of our activities take place at this location, we will write out a few sentences to inform you. National Park Sutjeska is home to one of the last primeval forests in Europe under UNESCO protection with trees over 60m in height. In the middle of the primeval forest lies the Skakavac waterfall 75m high which contributes to the magic of this place. Rijeka Sutjeska carved the beautiful valley of Tjentište in the center of the park and separates the mountain Zelengora from the mountains Maglić and Volujak. The highest peak of BiH Maglić (2386m) is located on the border with Montenegro and is very attractive and challenging for mountaineers as well as for all nature lovers. In addition to the famous Trnovacko Lake, which is located in Montenegro, and the only access pedestrian path is through the National Park Sutjeska, also in the park park we have a large number of not less beautiful glacial lakes. There are no words to describe every magical place in the park for this experience you need to visit one of these destinations, hear the sounds of wild nature and see for yourself the magnificent beauty of this region.

Canyoning Hrcavka

Canyoning Hrcavka is an extraordinary activity in the National Park Sutjeska. In addition to the many beautiful places of which this park is famous, from the highest peak of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the unique primeval forest Perucica, numerous glacier lakes … there is also a hidden canyon of the Hrčavka River. It has been only recently researched but already very popular because of the harsh beauty of the canyon as well as many incredible waterfalls, cascades and pools that the river shaped in this canyon. The canyon has two sections for canyoning, the first being ideal and adapted to almost everyone who knows the basic swimming skills and is ready for an adventure of 2.5h to 3.5h in unspoiled nature. The second part is long and demanding, designed for all those who are ready to spend up to 6 hours in the canyon and feel all the magic of the canyoning. It is very important to know your boundaries because, primarily, any route you choose you are here to enjoy and experience the adventurous spirit of exploration and connectivity with nature.

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!
