Itinerary

Day 1: Hike to the Bjelasnica Mountains
Today we hike to the less travelled side of the Olympic ski slopes of the Bjelasnica mountain range. The trail takes us through a pine and beech forest to the “Gate of the Wind”, where either a gentle breeze or a harsh southerly wind awaits us. From here we climb to a small shepherd’s hut (at 1,620 m). After a short rest we set off on the steep climb to the top of Hranisava (1,964 m), which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We then descend to the traditional Krosnje summer camp before returning to our cosy mountain hut.
