Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Evelin B.

Evelin has regularly led multiday trekking trips throughout the Balkans since 2015, including all of the countries featured in our Via Dinarica trip. Before joining us as a full-time trip leader he often assisted our groups in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro as our local guide. He has a deep passion for sharing the beauty and history of the region with travelers from all over the world.

Lorenc K.

Lorenc fell in love with the natural environment and pristine wilderness, in what was then known as Yugoslavia, as a child. He soon discovered his other joy in life, that of sharing the beauty of the region with those visiting his little corner of the globe—a place rich in culture, history, and gorgeous nature. Lorenc is a Certified Mountain Guide and Ranger for the BiH Mountain Association, a member of a Mountain Rescue Team, and has led MT Sobek trips in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2007.

Arrive in Sarajevo, the cultural heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the afternoon, after settling into your hotel, set out on a walking tour of Stari Grad (Old Town) for a glimpse into the city’s turbulent past that spanned empires—from the Ottoman Turks to the Austro-Hungarians. More recently, the city was host to the 1984 Winter Olympics and then made the news in the 1990s during the siege by Serb forces. Tour the ancient Ottoman quarter called Bascarsija, with its stone-flagged alleys and red-roofed houses sitting amongst minarets, as well as major historical and cultural sites.

Hike to the concrete remains of the 1984 Olympic bobsled run, now an atmospheric canvas for local graffiti artists. Climb through pine and spruce forest to a mountain hut named for Olympic skier Jure Franko and a panorama of Sarajevo and the Dinaric Alps. Return to the valley for a sobering look at the Sarajevo Tunnel, a lifeline to the blockaded city during the Bosnian War siege. Return to the city and an afternoon exploring more of its Old Town.

Bobotov Kuk (8,277\') is the crown jewel of UNESCO-listed Durmitor National Park and today you’ll climb to the top! Starting relatively high at 6,230 feet, hike up the grassy slope of Surutka toward Zupci, a magnificent series of serrated peaks with 14 sharp, rocky \"teeth.\" After circling the otherworldly massif, arrive at Zeleni Vir, a glacial lake and begin a steep, rocky ascent toward Bobotov Kuk, the views expanding with every step until the summit, where vistas stretch all the way to the Adriatic on a clear day. Enjoy lunch here, and then descend via a grassy basin, Mlijecni Do, to take a short ride back to Zabljak for a well-deserved rest.
