Description
Situated in the heart of the Dinaric Alps, nestled into eastern Herzegovina, Prenj Mountain is a challenging but scenic destination for any physically fit snowshoer!
Prenj Mountain is considered to be the most beautiful one in the whole country and is quite large, boasting more than 11 peaks with an elevation of 2,000 meters. The highest of these is Zelena glava at 2,115 meters.
Over the course of our 1+ day together, we'll explore as much of the massif as we can, climbing to the highest point available to us on snowshoes.
The adventure begins after we meet up at your accommodation in Mostar and drive to the trailhead at Ruiste (1,000 meters). From here, we'll gear up and begin the 8 to 10 hour trek up to the top of Prenj Mountain and back.
As we go, we'll hike through a thick forest and open valley deep within the massif. There will be plenty of stunning views along the way.
Once we finish, we can enjoy a nice and hot traditional Herzegovinan dinner, before returning to Mostar.
For those who want to spend a bit more time exploring the massif, then we can head on a hut-to-hut adventure, enjoying the mountain from all sides and snowshoeing up to its various summits.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this scenic and fun 1+ day snowshoeing adventure on Prenj Mountain, in Herzegovina.

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!

Peter
Due to lack of snow the trip became a hike instead of a snowshoeing trip. Nevertheless it was an awesome experience in pristine mountain area. Miroslav was great. We didn’t meet another sole the full 22km and the lunch stop at the mountain hut was excellent.
