Zelengora
Mountains Karst mountain range with glacial lakes and peaks
Zelengora sits inside Sutjeska National Park, with glacial lakes, steep ridges and marked trails; hikers and nature-watchers visit for multi-day treks, alpine meadows and chance encounters with protected wildlife.
Tips for Visiting Zelengora #
- Plan Zelengora excursions for mid-June through September when trails are clear and mountain huts are accessible; snow can linger late into the season at higher elevations.
- Access the range from Foča and use local guides for multi-day routes-mapped trails exist but weather and remoteness make local knowledge valuable, and many hikers miss the small glacial lakes like Orlovačko by staying on the main ridgelines.

Late spring through early autumn is ideal for hiking and enjoying the mountain scenery.
