This is mountain with so many beautiful things to see, the mountain is attractive to people who love hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, but also for families who like to spend a nice weekend in the nature.
Cincar Mountain
Cincar is a mountain in the southwestern part of Bosnia. It lies on a spacious plateau between four biggest karst fields of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Glamoc, Kupres, Livno and Duvno field.
Cincar is the westernmost highest peak of the Dinaric Alps with the height of 2006 m. Because of the great coldness, the peek usually wears a snowy cap during one half of the year, from autumn until spring.
The view from the summit is fantastic. You can see many Bosnian mountains from it including Sator, Vitorog, and Dinara Mountain with Troglav and so on.
Main characteristic of this region are huge grassy spaces: karsts fields, high lying plains or plateaus with very little forest. On the southern slopes there are almost no forest or trees just enormous grassy spaces.
As it is a very cold mountain where the winter snow holds from November (sometimes October) to May, mountain climbers claim that the best month to climb this harsh mountain would be October because of the exquisite autumn colours and great visibility.
For hiking and mountain climbing lovers these two mountains are a great adventure destinations. There are so many more so come to Bosnia and Herzegovina and explore them!
