Sample itinerary:
Day 1 – Piva Mountains & Lake Hike
We will collect you from your accommodation & take a scenic drive to the north where after a home cooked breakfast we will head out for approx. 3 hours of moderate to challenging hiking through undisturbed nature to experience the contrast of the rolling hills & steep cliffs of Piva Mountains. The hike will take us to the edge of Durmitor National Park offering a spectacular view of the beautiful Piva Lake below. After finishing with the hike, short drive to ethno-village where there is time to relax before dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2 – Glacier Lake Hike
After an early breakfast and a short drive to the village of Stabna, the “Glacier Lake Hike” commences. This circular hike takes you through a diversity of fields, forests and gravel tracks until the lakes come into view. There are two stunning lakes to visit, the upper situated at 1300 metres above sea level, where after a short distance to a spring you will enjoy your packed lunch, whilst soaking in the beautiful surroundings and stunning views of upper lake! This tour will last approx. 6 hours (including breaks) before returning to the ethno village for a well-deserved dinner and overnight stay, with an optional visit to a Jazz Café to sample some home -made ‘mead’ (honey liquor) on the return journey.
Day 3 – Ice Cave Hike
The day starts with a hearty breakfast before a short drive to nearby dairy farm, from where the ‘Ice Cave Hike’ starts. You will hike mainly on logging trails, through the dense forest that offers welcome shade on a summer’s day & a variety of wild seasonal fruits (strawberries, raspberries & blackberries). The hike will take us to the Ice Cave, once used by locals to harvest the ice for use in the dairy farms. This tour lasts approx. 5 to 6 hours and it finishes back at the farm for a homemade lunch before a return transfer to your accommodation.
