About
Maglić is a mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina, rising to 2,386 metres. It is the highest peak in the country, and it lies within the Dinaric Alps, the range that runs along the Adriatic coast of the western Balkans.
What a visit is like
Maglić suits experienced walkers and mountaineers rather than casual sightseers. The terrain is rugged and the wilderness around it is largely unspoiled, so a climb calls for proper preparation, sturdy footwear and an honest sense of your own fitness. Those who reach the summit are rewarded with wide panoramic views over the surrounding mountains.
Views and surroundings
From the top, the vista extends across three countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia. Few places in the region allow you to see so much of the Dinaric landscape at once. Because the peak is remote, the surroundings feel quiet and open, with little of the development found closer to towns.
Planning your trip
- Plan the day as a serious mountain outing, not a short stroll.
- Bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions at altitude can change quickly.
- Check the route and conditions in advance and let someone know your plans.
For visitors who enjoy wild country and the satisfaction of a demanding ascent, Maglić offers a memorable day in one of the less-travelled corners of Europe.
