  • Bastasi,
  • A popular proverb says that hospitality implies the warmth of a hearth, delicious food and the right to silence. You can find all this in the rafting camp Highlander, which is located right next to the river Drina. The silence of nature is a common "spice" of each of our meals.

  • Narodna poslovica kaže da gostoljubivost podrazumijeva toplinu ognjišta, ukusnu hranu i pravo na tišinu. Upravo sve to možete pronaći u rafting kampu Highlander koji se nalazi odmah pored rijeke Drine. Tišina prirode je čest „začin“ svakog našeg obroka.

    OPREMA ZA KAMP

    Bilo koja odjeća koja vam je udobna kod kuće je odlična i za kamp. Šorts i majica ili opuštena suknja ili haljina za dame su odličan izbor za topla ljetnja popodneva. Za nešto svežije noći i jutra trebaće vam lagane pantalone i bluza dugih rukava. Ove bluze dugih rukava mogu vam poslužiti i za boravak na rijeci kako biste se zaštitili od sunca.

    Topla jakna: Čak i ljeti, jutra i večeri mogu biti prohladni. Trebaće vam nešto da ogrnete dok ste u kampu, pred odlazak u krevet ili za doručak. U nekim kampovima koji su u većim kanjonima, sunce se pojavljuje kasnije. Predlažemo da ponesete laganu jaknu ili toplu bluzu.

    Oprema za kišu: Nikada ne možete da budete sigurni da li će kiša pasti ili ne, pa ponesite opremu za kišu. Ovo je odlično i za slojevito oblačenje kad su temperature niže. Ljudi često nose pantalone za kišu kako bi se zaštitili od opekotina, a kolena su obično ta koja prva izgore.

    Obuća za kamp: Ovo mogu biti sandale, cipele za pješačenje ili patike. Sve što je udobno, odmara vaše stopalo nakon mokre obuće za rijeku i štiti vaša stopala od kamenja dok šetate po kampu.

    Cipele za pješačenje (opciono): Većina ljudi na kraju pješači u obući za rijeku. Ako imate cipele za kamp koje mogu biti dobre i za pješačenje, uštedećete malo prostora u koferu.

    Potrudite se da razgazite obuću za rijeku ako ste kupili novu baš za ovaj put. Ništa ne nervira više od žuljeva dok ste na odmoru.

    OPREMA ZA RIJEKU:

    Za boravak na rijeci preko dana trebaće vam odjeća koja se brzo suši kako ne biste bili mokri cio dan. Šorts sa laganom majicom dugih ili kratkih rukava je odlična kombinacija. Dugi rukavi spriječavaju da izgorite na suncu.

    Neki vole da nose i duge pantalone ispod šortsa ili kapri pantalone kako bi zaštitili noge od sunca. Predlažemo da se obučete lagano i slojevito kako biste se ugrijali ako je hladno, a ovo je ujedno i odlična zaštita od sunca u kojoj vam neće biti vruće.

    Cipele za rijeku: Sve što će vam pristajati uz nogu i pružati vam odgovarajuću potporu za šetnju po kamenju i različitim podlogama će biti odličan izbor.

    Šešir/kačket: Šešir sa obodom čini sunčane dane još prijatnijim, a kačket koji staje ispod kacige za rafting ili spust kajakom je takođe odličan izbor.

    OPREMA ZA HLADNO VRIJEME (ZA PROLJEĆNA PUTOVANJA)

    Vrijeme tokom ljetnjih mjeseci je obično lijepo, ali za putovanja tokom proljeća trebalo bi da ponesete opremu za hladno vrijeme koju ćete nositi u kampu, na rijeci ili u planinskoj šetnji.

    • sintetičke majice
    • sintetička kapa
    • sintetičke rukavice
    • sintetičke čarape
    • sintetički dugi donji veš
    • Tople pantalone
    • Tanka sintetička jakna ili šuškavac
    • Gojzerice/cipele za pješačenje po mokrom, klizavom ili kamenitom terenu

     

     

  • Did you know that Durmitor comes from the Celtic words "dru mi tore, " meaning "mountain full of water"? Believe it or not, but on the Durmitor massif, there are as many as 18 glacial lakes.

  • Nacionalni park Sutjeska je najočuvaniji prirodni dragulj Republike Srpske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Čine ga dijelovi planine Maglić, visoravan Vučevo, planine Volujak, Bioč, Zelengora, Lelija, zatim Perućica - jedna od četiri poslednje preostale evropske prašume, devet planinskih jezera i čak 17 rijeka i potoka. U njemu je i naselje Tjentište u kome je podignut i memorijalni kompleks „Dolina heroja“, spomenik i kosturnica palim borcima „Bitka na Sutjesci“ i spomen-muzej posvećen poginulim partizanima u Drugom svjetskom ratu.

  • For one Highlander, it is difficult to ignore the "call of the wilderness", which slowly starts to speed up its pulse in the spring, and the view begins to disappear somewhere on the horizon, looking for mountain massifs waiting to be conquered again.

  • Rafting and spending time outdoors requires shoes and clothing that is comfortable, if necessary, warm and layered, so you feel comfortable at any time. In the following few tips you may find a list of mandatory items "to wrap up" so you don’t forget something.

    The most important things to bring:

    -Pajamas or light tracksuit for sleep
    -Towels for face and shower
    -Cosmetics case with personal hygiene (+ moisturizing lotion, wipes, pharmaceuticals, and some insect repellent)
    -Slippers for shower / beach
    -Shorts for swimming or bathing suit (2 pcs)
    -Cap or hat for sun protection
    -Sunglasses
    -Tracksuit
    -Sneakers
    -Cotton socks
    -Cotton shirts: short and long sleeves (2 pcs)
    -Something warm for sitting beside a campfire
    -Shoes / sneakers for mountain walking (required!) because in sandals and sneakers you can not hike
    -In case of rain - rain jacket, waterproof clothes and shoes
    -If you plan to bring your phone with you on the river, we suggest to protect it against water, shock and dust.
    -Be sure to take with you documents for crossing the border Bosnia and Herzegovina / Montenegro

    CAMP CLOTHES

    Any clothes that you find comfortable at home are great for camp. Shorts and a T-shirt or a casual skirt or dress for women are great for warm summer evenings. For cooler nights and mornings you may find prefer to wear light-weight pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Long-sleeved camp shirts can also double as a shirt to wear on the river to help keep the sun off of your arms.

    Warm Jacket: Even in the summer, evening and mornings can be chilly. You’ll want to have a layer to wear around camp before bed and at breakfast. It often it takes the sun longer to hit some camps due to the large canyon walls. We ask that you bring a light-weight puffy jacket or warm fleece shirt.

    Rain Gear: You never know if it’s going to rain, so bring a rainshell. This is also a great layer for colder temperatures. People will often wear rain pants to help keep the sun off their legs. Tops of knees are a common place for sunburn on the first day.

    Camp Shoes: These could be another pair of sandals, hiking shoes, or sneakers. Anything that is comfortable, gives your feet a break from being in a wet river shoe, and protects your feet from rocks while walking around camp.

    Hiking Shoes (Optional): Most people end up doing short day hikes in their river shoes. If you have a camp shoe that can double as a hiking shoe, you can save room in your bag.

    Make sure to break in your river shoes if you are buying new ones for your trip. Nothing is more annoying than fresh blisters while you’re on your vacation.

    RIVER CLOTHES:

    For your daytime river outfit, you'll want quick-drying clothes so that you don't feel soggy all day. Wearing shorts with a lightweight long or short-sleeved shirt are great. Long-sleeves help prevent sunburn.

    Some people also like to wear long under bottoms under river shorts or capri-length pants to help keep sun off of their legs. We suggest light weight base layers as they can help keep your warm if it is chilly, but also are great sun protection that isn't too hot.

    River Shoes: Anything that will stay strapped to your foot and provide solid support for walking around on rocks will work.
    Hat: A hat with a brim makes bright, sunny days more enjoyable and a baseball cap that fits under a helmet are perfect for paddling an inflatable kayak.

    COLD WEATHER GEAR (FOR SPRING TRIPS)

    For the majority of summer trips the weather is quite nice. For any trip in the Spring you'll need to bring the following extra cold-weather gear to wear in camp and on the river.

    -Polypro Shirts
    -Polypro Beanie
    -Polypro Gloves
    -Polypro Socks
    -Polypro Long Underwear
    -Warm Pants
    -Thick Polypro/Wool or Puffy Jacket
    -Shoes for walking on wet, slippery or rocky terrain
