About this landmark
Visočica is a mountain on the natural border of Bosnia and Herzegovina, surrounded by canyons and rivers that separate it from neighboring mountain giants. To the east, the Ljuta River separates it from Treskavica; to the south and southwest, the Neretva separates it from Prenj; and to the west and north, the Rakitnica Canyon separates it from Bjelašnica. Its highest peak, Džamija, reaches 1,967 meters, and a series of peaks rises above or around 1,900 meters, from Vito and Veliki Ljeljan to Drstvo.
The mountain is known for its wide flower-filled meadows, spring lakes formed by the sudden melting of snow, and wild horses grazing freely across the open landscape. Ridge walks between the peaks, especially the section between Drstvo and Vito, offer a true high-mountain experience with thrilling views of the Rakitnica Canyon. Visočica is part of the popular panoramic road from Sarajevo toward Bjelimići and Konjic, and its heart can be reached in just about forty minutes’ drive from central Sarajevo.
