My partner and I went on a one day hike with Miroslav up Zjleb and it was one of our favourite days in Bosnia and Herzegovina so far. We felt instantly comfortable with Miroslav who is easy-going, talkative, and funny - and between chats, paused with us to enjoy the quiet majesty of nature. As two novice hikers we felt in very safe hands and completely accommodated for.
The walk was moderately tough on the way up, but along the way we stopped for fresh mountain spring water, and were greeted with stunning views at the top. Miroslav prepared some delicious packed lunches with hot coffee and home-smoked meat. Over lunch, he shared some fascinating insights into his life and history that made us feel a lot more enlightened about him and his home country. Because we didn’t go as far as he had planned (partly due to our sub-par footwear!), he insisted on taking us to the new sky walk, with beautiful vistas over Mostar, to enjoy a beer. He went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day and we had the most amazing time.
Thank you Miroslav and we would highly recommend anyone to book a tour with Herzegovina Hiking!
