Bobotov Kuk Hike from Sedlo

Start the mountain tour from the Sedlo bend, heading north on a mild ascent. From the very beginning, enjoy the beauty of the landscape as you pass grassy meadow trails and sharp rocky paths.
Pause beneath the rocks, then enter the beautiful valley of Surutka, from where you can look up at the outline of your goal - Bobotov Kuk. On the way to the highest peak, find wells where you can drink refreshing mountain water.
Enjoy views of the Škrčka lakes, known as the "mountain eyes," along with the rest of the Durmitor lake group, which includes a total of 18 glacier lakes. From the peaks of Durmitor, there are wonderful views in all directions, perfect for memorable photos.
Prepare for the final climb, which is technically more demanding during the last 20 minutes to the summit. The terrain is rocky and requires caution; however, the track has enough space to walk along its entire course. It is secured and allows for safe footing, so although care is needed, it is not considered risky.
