Top story from Boračko Start with a slow walk along the shore where the lake turns from deep green to clear shallows. Find a quiet jetty for photos, then sit for thick coffee and a slice of local cheese under the pines. Late morning, take a kayak out along the northern edge and watch small trout turn in the water.
In the afternoon pair the lake with Konjic for the old stone bridge and a short visit to Tito’s bunker, or go higher across Bjelašnica towards Lukomir for stone roofs and ridge views. Read more on our Konjic page, our Lukomir page and our guide to ARK D-0, Tito’s nuclear bunker in Konjic.
