The olympic beauty Jahorina ⛰️ Jahorina Mount The olympic beauty Jahorina ⛰️ Jahorina Mountain is much more than a ski resort. This is also paradise for hikers. Especially if you're searching for hikes of easy to moderate difficulty. Today we didn't have time for long hike, but still we wanted to escape the city pollution for a couple of hours and restart our brains. So our choice was Jahorina Mountain and hike to Ogorjelica and nearby "peaks." This is only 34 km long drive, and it took us less then hour to get to our trailhead for Ogorjelica, the highest peak of Jahorina at 1,916 m/asl. At the beginning of the walk we enjoyed in view of Jahorina ski resort, and Trebevic and Romanija, which are the neighboring mountains. Once we came at the top amazing panorama view opened in front of us. While we looked toward east we could see as fair as to Durmitor Mountain in Montenegro, and as we turned toward south we saw Prenj proudly standing behind Bjelasnica and Visocica mountains. But we also couldn't stop admiring Maglic, the mountain with the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and other mountains of Sutjeska National Park - the oldest and largest protected area in the country.

I'm obsessed with ustipci 😍 Trying "ustipci" f I'm obsessed with ustipci 😍 Trying "ustipci" for breakfast needs to be on your "things to do" list, when planning your trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina. And the best are in the mountain huts and households! If I was grading I would give 5 + to today's ustipci at Zelena Zajednica at Visocica Mountain. Why? Because they were not greasy, and they were served with ajvar, dried meat, and two types of cheese 😍🤤 Of course there is a vegetarian option without meat.
Remains of house built in the style that was used Remains of house built in the style that was used throughout the centuries for houses in the Bosnia's mountains. As you can see the house is built from rock with wooden shingles for roof. Usually the roof on top of the shingles would also have metal because of the rough wind. These type of houses were built in the mountains because they are easy to warm in the winter time, but in the sumer time rock would keep pleasant temperature inside the house. Shepherds would build this type of houses in their seasonal settlements. The settlements are known as katuni and today it's still possible to see a number of them scattered across the Bosnia and Herzegovina's mountains. Or at least their remains. In some highland villages throughout the country it's still possible to see this type of houses. Lukomir Village is one of them, but unfortunately there are few modern houses built in the village. But probably there are some remote villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina that kept only this type of houses even today.
Escape in the mountains from the city pollution. Escape in the mountains from the city pollution. Sarajevo is situated in the big valley and surrounded by mountains. In winter time it's normal that clouds stay low in the valley. But exepct clouds like any bigger city, Sarajevo has a lot of pollution that is trapped in the valley in winter time. I will not go into details how can our government but also citizens help to reduce this pollution because we all now how. I just hope we will start solving this problem in the capital town of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Luckily we have a number of mountains we can go to by car in hour or less, but also just by walking from the city center, or even by cable car. In some 20-minute drive from city center of Sarajevo we came to Crepoljsko, area around one of the higher peaks of Ozren Mountain. It was interesting to watch other mountains like islands in the white sea of clouds. We were grateful for sun and fresh mountain air. ⛰️❤️
Today we enjoyed in delicious homemade ustipci, do Today we enjoyed in delicious homemade ustipci, doughnut-like fried dough balls, for our breakfast. This is most popular food for breakfast, especially in the mountains of the Western Balkans. Ustipci come with one or more types of cheese. Personally, I'm crazy about cheese! And the best thing is that it's produced in small amounts in the mountains above Sarajevo by villagers. During our hike at Ozren Mountain, which is one of the mountains surrounding Sarajevo, we stopped for breakfast in one of few households at this mountain. The family is producing delicious homemade juices from blueberries and mint, which goes perfecty with ustipci. Fresh mountain air, first snow, sun and amazing view with homemade food, is there anything better? 😍

Cura is an avid hiker and mountain guide. She hikes the route Umoljani - Lukomir Village daily (around 8 hours). Whenever she sees hikers at the trailhead, which is conviniently next to her home, she joins. She is always in front with first hikers, and from time to time she will check and sniff are all members from her group together. Cura will also make you laugh as she rolls on the grass with a smile on her face, or while she is trying to catch a mouse. So come to Umoljani Village and enjoy in stunning landscape while hiking with your guide - Cura 😊
