Description

The Svatovac excursion area is a perfect air spa and recreation center of the Lukavac region, nestled in the embrace of dense forests just above Lake Modrac. Thanks to its location, this excursion area offers a unique blend of forest peace and immediate proximity to the water, making it a favorite destination for all generations. Well-maintained paths winding through shaded areas allow visitors to explore nature safely, while numerous gazebos and benches are strategically placed for moments of complete relaxation in the fresh mountain air.

The heart of the excursion area is the Svatovac Mountain Lodge, which, with its 35 beds and supporting facilities (electricity, heating, kitchen), serves as a warm base for hikers and day-trippers throughout the year. What sets Svatovac apart from typical forest excursion areas is its rich sports offer - modern fields for small-sided football, basketball, and volleyball provide excellent conditions for team sports and recreation. For families with children, playgrounds with swings guarantee fun, while marked trails lead more active visitors deeper into this natural oasis, making Svatovac an ideal place for a day trip or a longer hiking stay.

Mountain lodge on the shore of Modrac

Svatovac combines what few excursion sites in Tuzla Canton offer together — a true mountain lodge right on the shore of the lake. The house with 35 beds, heating, and a bathroom is open year-round, making Svatovac a base not only for a day trip but also for a longer stay or an organized hiking tour. The Svatovac 47 Mountaineering Society takes care of the lodge and organizes tours along the surrounding trails, while the forest around the excursion site creates a feeling of being far from the city, even though Modrac Lake — and Lukavac — are only a few minutes' drive away.
