A 250-metre Grade D route on the flank of Prenj above the Neretva canyon, and the only via ferrata in the country reached by water. You put in at Donja Jablanica and paddle 20 to 25 minutes down the canyon before the climbing starts.
At D it is among the hardest routes in Bosnia & Herzegovina, behind only Peć Mlini. The cable takes 1 to 1.5 hours; the walk-off is a marked trail of 4.7 kilometres, around an hour and a half, finishing at a second parking area in Glogošnica rather than back where you started.
Built by the Puls sports climbing club of Jablanica with support from the Via Dinarica programme. It is not in the national catalogue.
The kayak approach makes this the one route in the set where the weather on the water matters as much as the weather on the rock. April to October.
How we know this
BOA guides climb Prenjska Vrata regularly. Cable and anchor condition changes. Nothing here is a substitute for checking the route yourself before you climb.
Condition reports
Written by visitors who have climbed Prenjska Vrata, not by BOA, and not checked by us before they appear. Treat them as one climber’s account on one day — useful, but never clearance to climb.
No condition reports yet. If you have climbed this route, yours would be the first.
