Offered in: English

A private day trip into the Vranica mountains west of Sarajevo, running from April to October (winter dates on request). We leave at 10:00 from your hotel or from Sarajevo City Hall and drive through Kiseljak to Fojnica.

The Franciscan monastery in Fojnica keeps a library of old books and manuscripts, a collection of paintings and the Ahdnama of 1463, the sultan's charter that let the friars stay and work. From there the road climbs to Prokoško Lake at about 1,600 metres, with shepherds' wooden huts along the shore.

You can walk around the lake, take photos and, if you want, have a home-made lunch in one of the shepherds' huts (choose the Tour & Meal option). The last part of the road is rough gravel, so we use a vehicle that can handle it. The car is for your group only, and your driver is also your tour leader.
