Location

Prenj is one of the most beautiful mountains in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the heart of the Dinaric mountains in the northern part of Herzegovina. It stretches between the Neretva River from Glavatičevo near Konjic to Bijelo Polje near Mostar. The mountain massifs of Velež, Crvnje, and Visočica border it. At the foot of Prenj are three towns: Konjic, Jablanica, and Mostar. Prenj belongs to the high mountains, and its highest peak is Zelena Glava at 2155 m. It is also called the "Herzegovinian Himalayas". The relief is characterized by contrasts and diversity - sharp and rocky peaks, steep slopes, munica, and juniper, which makes it attractive for mountaineers.

Čvrsnica is a mountain in northwestern Herzegovina which, with its highest peak Pločno at 2228 m, is the highest mountain of the central Dinarides. Because of its height, it is called the "roof of Herzegovina". Its mountain massif, which has two mountain ranges, four plateaus, and 15 peaks over 2000 m, is protected as part of the Blidinje Nature Park. The natural phenomenon by which the mountain is recognizable is the Hajdučka Vrata, a unique rocky window that is one of the symbols of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been protected as a natural monument since 1985. Čvrsnica is breathtaking with its wild and powerful beauty, it attracts a large number of hikers in all seasons.
