Trnovacko lake – heart shape lake

The lake, with its heart-shaped form, symbolizes love and will undoubtedly evoke your deepest emotions. Surrounded by rocks, embraced by the slopes of Maglić, Bioč, and Volujak, it creates the impression that nature is in harmony with everything around it, crafting a fairytale-like view. The lake is 825 meters long, 715 meters wide, and its circumference is approximately 3000 meters. Over the shallow western part of the lake, the water is clear and colorless. As the depth increases towards the east, the water takes on a more intense greenish color. In the summer, the lake is ideal for swimming, so we advise you to bring your swimwear; believe me, this will be an unforgettable adventure. On the way to the lake, a must-stop is the Dragoš Sedlo viewpoint, offering an incredible view of Europe's largest rainforest – Perućica, and its jewel, the Skakavac waterfall. A moment where you'll get lost for a while and enjoy the beauty, size, and grace of the largest and richest rainforest in Europe. Not to mention the photos you will proudly show to your friends and share on social media. The starting point is our accommodation in the NP Sutjeska (Green Villas Tjentište), where we gather, familiarize ourselves with the route plan, and after a short briefing with our guide and equipment check, we start our adventure with our off-road vehicles. Transport from Tjentište takes us to the Prijevor mountain plateau – 1668 meters above sea level, which is also one of the most beautiful locations in the Sutjeska National Park. We want to emphasize that at that moment, you will think, "Is all this possible?" No matter how hard we try, there are no words to convey the view of the majestic Maglić – the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina (2386 meters) and other mountain ranges in the vicinity. A short break for photos, we replenish our mountain water (temperature 6 degrees), and we continue on foot towards the lake. The hike to the lake takes about 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace and is suitable for both professionals and amateur hikers, as well as beginners. We don't want to describe the part from Prijevor to the lake; let it remain a small secret and an additional factor of positive surprises, of which there are indeed many on this adventure. We stay at the lake by agreement with the group for 3-4 hours, depending on weather conditions and the group's needs, all subject to agreement. A meal is provided at the lake (Homemade sandwich, chocolate, water, fruit).
