Description

Treskavica is a mountain beauty in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, located just 30 kilometers from Sarajevo, whose southern slopes descend towards Herzegovina near Kalinovik. It is part of the Dinaric mountain range, and it got its name from the frequent minor earthquakes that have characterized the area. The highest peak reaches 2,088 meters above sea level and bears three names—Paklijaš, Đokin Toranj, and Mala Ćaba—each with its own story rooted in history, hiking, and local tradition. Nearby are the peaks of Suve Lastve (2,000 m) and Oblik (1,876 m), while the cliffs of Treskača, Zubova, and Ćabenskih stijena offer numerous alpine routes for experienced climbers.

The mountain is divided into the Bosnian Treskavica in the north and the Hercegovinian one in the south, and thanks to enthusiasts and hikers who have arranged and marked safe trails, it is now accessible to all lovers of mountain nature. Raw, mysterious, and unexplored—Treskavica rewards anyone who decides to get to know it.
