Travel guide
Understand
The city lies close to the border with Montenegro and Serbia.
Do
Foča is a good base to explore nature from. For example, to go rafting on the Tara river, running through the deepest canyon in Europe, or go hiking through Perućica forest, one of the last first-growth forests left on the continent, with trees measuring up to 60 m. Also a challenge is to try to climb Maglić Mountain, right on the border with Montenegro. Maglić ("fog") is the highest peak of BiH, and if you make the ascent without a guide, you will probably need 2 days to reach the peak.
The road to Montenegro is used by long distance cyclists. Especially the continuation in Montenegro to Plužine has magnificent views onto the blue river.
