In the embrace of the spacious and picturesque areas of the mountains of Čvrsnica, Čabulje and Vrana, one of the most important nature reserves of Bosnia and Herzegovina is located - We are taking you to the Blidinje Nature Park.

GENERAL ABOUT BLIDINJE NATURE PARK

Blidinje Nature Park is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and this beautiful gem of Herzegovina should be on your travel list. About 360 km2 of this incredibly rich and biologically diverse park lies in the heart of the Dinaric Mountains in the northern part of Herzegovina. Almost half of the Park is covered with forest, and due to its rich biodiversity, the entire area was recognized and protected as a Nature Park in 1995.

The main motives for establishing the Blidinje Nature Park are found in the multitude of endemic plants, in the variety of animal life that inhabits beautiful forests, steep cliffs, deep ravines, living undisturbed and developing according to natural laws, far from the influence of man.

Why visit Blidinje?

The forest landscape, long pastures, clear lake, clean air and numerous archaeological sites are just some of the reasons, which are certainly more than enough to visit this unique nature reserve. But Blidinje offers much more - something for everyone.

The most famous sights of the park by the lake are the rich archaeological sites, and the necropolis with 150 stećaks in Dugi polje, which in January 2004 received the status of National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among the cultural sites, the Franciscan monastery, which is located at the foot of Pločno peak in the town of Masna Luka, is also worth mentioning, which also houses an art gallery. Worth mentioning is the massif of Čvrsnica, and as a special geomorphological reserve Diva Grabovica, which includes the canyon of the river Grabovica within the framework of the beautiful whole.

This tour is perfect for all those who want to get to know the beautiful landscapes of the Blidinje Nature Park and the rich history of this region, but want to combine it with the adventurous element of cycling.

Route details

This challenging cycling adventure is intended for experienced cyclists, as it takes you on a strenuous climb to Mount Pločno, the highest peak in the central Dinarides (2228 meters above sea level) and the fourth highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Conquering this magnificent peak is not only a physical challenge but also a journey through the heart of one of Herzegovina’s most beautiful landscapes.

Your adventure begins at the Park Nature Blidinje Administration Building, where you will start on a gravel path towards the peaceful Blidinje Lake. At the 10th kilometer, you will briefly turn onto the asphalt road leading to Rakitno/Posušje. After 3 kilometers of asphalt, you will turn left onto a gravel path that leads to your final destination, the summit of Pločno.

Along the way, at the 20th kilometer, you will come across a drinking water spring known as "Soldino Vrilo". This spring, cherished by the local residents, is the perfect place to replenish your water supplies before facing the challenging ascent to the summit.

The last 12 kilometers from Soldino Vrilo to Mount Pločno demand exceptional endurance. On this tough gravel road, you will be climbing relentlessly, exhausting every bit of your strength. However, once you reach the top of Pločno, all the fatigue disappears as you are rewarded with an incredible view of Herzegovina from its highest peak.

Note: On top of Pločno, there is a telecommunications facility with a permanent military presence. Although the military presence may seem intimidating, don’t worry – visitors, especially cyclists and hikers, are always welcome. The soldiers are accustomed to regular visits, and you might even be treated to a cold beer as a reward for your efforts.

Enjoy your success – you’ve earned this moment.

RECOMMENDATION

Although the trail mostly takes us through populated areas and you drive on an asphalt section, we also come across a macadam section of the trail, while we always think that on longer rides it is necessary to bring a mini tool and a tool for patching inner tires, so the rule also applies to this section. We definitely recommend that you inform your family or friends about your cycling plans before going for a ride.
Helmet mandatory!
