The day
Kladopoljsko Lake sits at 1,350 metres on the western slopes of Zelengora, with old wooden logs resting on its bottom — the klade that gave it its name. The walk in crosses wide open pasture with barely a tree on it, a hint that timber was once hauled through here, and passes medieval stećak necropolises along the way, the best known of them at Čengića bara, on UNESCO's World Heritage list. The route is about 15 kilometres with 450 metres of climbing, nothing technical, a solid day out at a steady pace. One fixed date, one price, and whoever signs up walks it together.
If the weather threatens the safety or feasibility of the hike, the date may be moved.
By signing up you confirm you are responsible for your own physical condition, join at your own risk, and will follow the guide's instructions on the route.
