Via Dinarica : Hiking the White Trail in Bosnia & Herzegovina

The first detailed guide to the Bosnian section of the Via Dinarica hiking trail

Discover the White Trail through Bosnia and Herzegovina, a 350km section of the spectacular Via Dinarica—a new long-distance hiking route that winds through the Dinaric Alps, one of Europe's least explored mountain ranges and final true wilderness frontiers. Spanning across seven nations from Slovenia to Albania, this epic trail system stretches over 1,350km in total. This guide focuses on the White Trail's 13 stages through Bosnia and Herzegovina, following the natural flow of the region's highest peaks and most dramatic landscapes.

Each stage comes with detailed descriptions, maps, altitude charts, and practical tips to guide your journey. You'll discover waypoint visits and nearby highlights, along with comprehensive information on local accommodation, public transport, culture, food, and language. The guide also explores the region's rich flora and fauna, revealing the natural and cultural treasures that make the Dinaric Alps the Balkans' best-kept secret—a land of alpine lakes, karst caves, pristine rivers carving spectacular canyons, and ancient mountain communities living sustainably off the land.

Estimated to take 125 hours to complete, the White Trail climbs through often snow-capped peaks and passes through or near over 5 national parks and numerous nature preserves, including the Perucica primeval forest—one of only two remaining European rainforests. Beyond hiking, the route offers opportunities for rafting, skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, canyoning, and caving. With this portable guide, you can explore some of the wildest and most impressive natural beauty in the world.
