Glamoč
Glamoč – Hidden valley at the foot of Staretina and wooded plateau
Glamoč, located in the vast plateau of southwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, at about 930 m above sea level, is one of the highest cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Surrounded by the mountains of Staretina (1,679 m), Velika Golija and Šator, it represents a real oasis of untouched nature, rich history and authentic tradition.
🏞️ Natural beauty – mountains, plateaus and springs
Glamočko polje - one of the largest karst fields in the Balkans (130 km²), known for its pastures, sinkholes and seasonal lakes.
Šatorsko jezero - located at 1,480 m above sea level, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ideal for hiking and excursions.
Staretina Mountain – a paradise for hiking, cycling and mountain tours, with a panoramic view of the entire Glamočko polje.
The sources of the Glamočnica river – crystal clear water that disappears into the abysses of the karst field.
