Drago\u0161 sedlo<\/strong><\/p>\n

A solid macadam road goes from Tjenti\u0161te to Drago\u0161 sedlo (10 kms). A hundred-metre long path leads from the parking place in Drago\u0161 sedlo to Vidikovac (viewpoint). Below Vidikovac, a woody, deep, somewhat terrifying in its beauty and almost completely inaccessible abyss suddenly opens. In the heart of this genuine beauty Skakavac waterfall roars, tumbling down into the abyss from over 70 metres in height. On the other side of the basin, stone cliffs of the Mount Volujak rise abruptly. On the left is the highest mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Mount Magli\u0107 – and on the right, far in the distance over the Sutjeska canyon, peaks of Mount Zelengora can be seen. An unforgettable view! The view from Vidikovac (Drago\u0161 sedlo) to virgin forest Peru\u0107ica fills with pleasure. That small part of genuine nature with a rich multifunctional biodiversity is preserved for present and future generations. The altitude of Drago\u0161 sedlo is 1,306 m.<\/p>\n
