Hiking at Mount Pljesevica

Discover the Soul of Plješevica

The mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina are simply breathtaking. Each one is a unique and authentic jewel of nature, impossible to compare—because every peak tells its own story.

At Explore Bosnia, we don’t view mountaineering as a sport. There’s no competition, no race to the top. Instead, hiking is a restorative journey—an active form of rest that, despite the physical effort, fills you with strength, peace, and joy. That’s what hiking means to us.
