Lokva Dernečište - Maglić

Access to starting point:
From Sarajevo, we drive towards Foča and just before it we turn towards Gacko and Tjentište (right road). At the beginning of Tjentište, we turn sharply left at the abandoned „Energopetrol“ gas station. Along a poor asphalt road, we soon reach a barrier where we have to pay the entrance fee for Sutjeska National Park. We continue along the gravel road without paying attention to smaller branches left and right. After 7 km, it becomes asphalt for a short time, this is Dragoš sedlo with monuments to fallen partisan heroes and a path to the viewpoint of Skakavac waterfall (5 min). After another 5 km, we reach a clearing with a signpost where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head across the road we came on to the forest path. The direction is also indicated by a signpost. At the beginning of the path there are several different markings, follow the red with white dot (classic). After about 50 m, follow the markings right into the forest. The path may be poorly visible at first, but it is well marked. After about 30 minutes, we emerge from the forest onto a clearing. Past the pine bushes, the path goes south. After approximately 1:30 to 2:00 hours of walking from the starting point, the path turns right and begins to ascend. The path is steep, steel cables are available. At the top of the ridge, follow the gentle path to the right, the summit of Maglić is already visible. Just before the summit, there is a short ascent, then we are at the top.
