First stop on tour will be a short walk on the edge of Perućica forest. Perućica is one of the last primeval forests in Europe, at the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage. We will walk to a viewpoint overlooking the forest and admire the views on Skakavac waterfall as well as the rocky peaks of Maglić, Volujak and Zelengora high above. The hike itself follows the Postmans' route. This is the easiest trail that takes 34h to reach the peak, but it is not for those afraid of the heights. You need to be strong on your feet, and able to walk on hard terrain for prolonged period of time. The first part is very easy, slowly ascending through the forest on the trail that was used by partisans during the WWII to avoid the Nazi troops. Once we leave the forest, the mighty northern face of Maglić appears. We will enjoy the view while we walk on easy trail to the foot of the mountain. Stunning views on mountains in central Bosnia and Montenegro will make all our effort worthwhile.

    We Came for the Mountains, Stayed for Kenan’s Storytelling

    We had the absolute privilege of having Kenan as our guide while climbing Bosnia’s highest peak. The hike was nothing short of magical – a proper round tour where we not only conquered the mountain but also got a masterclass in both history and Kenan’s very personal opinions. Honestly, it was impossible not to be impressed (and occasionally amused). But of course, one hike wasn’t enough. Oh no. We decided it would be a great idea to follow him onto the Ridges of Visočica. Because clearly our legs were crying out for more punishment. And yet again, Kenan delivered — mixing personal opinions, historical facts, and that annoyingly infectious pride he has for his country. The real disappointment? That we didn’t stumble across Kenan and his company sooner. Imagine how many more mountains we could have wheezed our way up under his ever-enthusiastic guidance. Truly heartbreaking. So yes, thank you Kenan, for showing us your Bosnia — a place you’re rightly proud of, and one we’ll now forever associate with sore calves, breathtaking views, and the guide we wish we’d met earlier.

    Hard but so beautiful

    It’s not an easy hike but totally worth it. Our guide Kenan took care of everything: food, poles, helmets and ferrata set, explained us how to do it safely so it was not scary at all. The views were magnificent and we had plenty of time to enjoy them.

    Experience of lifetime

    I participated in two hikes with Highlander Adventures - a solo hike with Kenan in Maglic and a group hike with Kenan in Prenj. It was an experience of a lifetime. Maglic and Prenj were both breathtaking hikes. The views and environment are unmatched. Kenan is extremely personable and friendly. He is highly knowledgeable of the landscapes, biodiversity and related history. He was well-prepared and made sure we maintained a productive yet manageable pace and brought plenty of snacks and food. Kenan was an outstanding guide and host. Will definitely be back!

    A Hike Turned into an Unforgettable Experience

    We had our tour with Kenan, and it was unforgettable. As both a mountain lover and a passionate storyteller, he showed us the most beautiful mountains and views, along with the fascinating history behind them. It wasn’t just a hike – it was a true experience, tailored perfectly to us. During our short breaks, he would suddenly stop, point out a plant or berry, and effortlessly pick something edible from the wild – turning every pause into a little discovery. I also learned a lot about Bosnia’s unique berries and plants, which made the journey even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for more than just an ordinary walk and want an exciting adventure with a fun and knowledgeable professional, Highlander Adventures is the perfect choice!

    Ridiculously great hike + guide

    Went with Kenan and I'm impressed by his passion and knowledge on Bosnia and the surrounding mountains. He adjusted the route and itinerary based on my preferences and made sure to make me feel safe throughout the hike. Highly recommend and will for sure come back.

    Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.

    How much does Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sarajevo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sarajevo is not rushed.

    Is Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sarajevo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sarajevo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sarajevo and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sarajevo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sarajevo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sarajevo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fall of Yugoslavia, Sarajevo War Tour with Tunnel of Hope Museum and Frontlines, From Sarajevo: Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Study Tour, Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sarajevo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sarajevo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Maglić - Climb the highest peak of Bosnia?
