Hiked Perućica & Skakavac waterfall laast October - crazy Bosnia wilderness, felt like Jurassic Park.
Was planning to summit Maglic, highest peak in BiH, but weather shut that down for day 2. Day 1 his camp's right on the main road up toward Maglic/Perucica so I stopped by Branko's Mountain Camp Outdoor Tara first.
Ended up hiking with him into Perucica primeval forest to Skakavac waterfall. Absolute madness. 15min drivve from his camp to trailhead, then 1h15min walk through Perucica one of Europe's last 3 untouched primary forests. Not rainforest like articles claim (common mistakee), just ancient forest never logged. Massive trees, moss everywhere, prehistoric feel.
Skakavac waterfall was pounding you see on the video - 70m waterfall through the gorge. October water still roaring, autumn colors truly remarkable gold/red/orange everywhere. Return was a bit steep climb out but that view... wow
Branko's got 20+ years hiking/canyoning here, perfect English, knows every line. Without him I'd have been lost - no trail markers. Anyone done Sutjeska National Park, Bosnia hikes? Tips for exploring more?
