Maglić

At 2,386 meters, Maglić is the highest mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located within the Sutjeska National Park on the border with Montenegro. The mountain massif consists predominantly of limestone and calcareous marl, leading to a rugged topography with steep rock faces and deep valleys. A standout feature at the foot of Maglić is the Perućica Primeval Forest, one of Europe's last true primary forests, which is strictly protected. The flora is exceptionally diverse, comprising over 2,600 vascular plant species, including many Dinaric endemics. The climate on Maglić is alpine, with snowfields often persisting late into the summer months. Historically, the area is closely linked to World War II events, particularly the Battle of the Sutjeska. For mountaineers, Maglić presents a significant challenge due to its technical demands and spectacular views over the heart-shaped Trnovačko Lake in Montenegro. The ecological integrity of the massif has been maintained through its national park status since 1962.
