Description

Just 20 km from Mostar lies the hidden canyon of the Bijela River, a place with many wonders which few tourists ever visit. Join me on this day hike to discover this special site.

We’ll start the hike walking along the pristine river until coming upon some abandoned villages. The former inhabitants left 70 years ago, and now nature has reclaimed the uninhabited houses.

Next comes the main attraction: the gorgeous Bijela Cave, which features unique rock formations and a waterfall. After taking in the beauty of the cave, we’ll start making our way back and pass a lookout where you can enjoy stunning views of the river canyon.

This non-strenuous trek takes 4-5 hours to complete.

Hiking Guide

Welcome to your Herzegovina Hiking Adventure. My name is Miroslav Mihalj, born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am the current president of the Croatian Mountaineering Association “Prenj 1933 Mostar”, certified Mountain Guide and Rescuer and I offer hiking, snowshoeing and ski touring tours around this beautiful region.

As mountain hiker I am proud to have climbed some of the highest peaks in Europe and Balkans as well as local peaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which I have climbed numerous times both in winter and summer.

I enjoy nature, that feeling of freedom and serenity the mountains offer. They are a place to find yourself and push your boundaries. I’m lucky to have been born in a place surrounded by beautiful and intact mountain ranges hiding the most exciting nature my country has to offer.

Very much excited to meet you and share with you this truly wonderful world!

We really enjoyed our trip with our guide Mijo. He was extremely good in communicating at WhatsApp and very flexible. We ended our trip in a beautiful river with amazing surrounding view. I can highly recommend to do some hiking in the mountains around Mostar, really worth it.
