The Balkans is one of those destinations that you can explore for years and admire what you discover every time. For many, the journey through the Balkans is a "journey through time", through its rich history, magnificent heritage, stunning buildings, natural beauty, diverse tastes, scents, colors, striking cultural heritage of peoples who died centuries ago for just one word "freedom". . In the Sutjeska National Park, in the Valley of Heroes Tjentište, there is a memorial complex dedicated to the famous Battle of Sutjeska. This is the best example of a joint struggle of members of all nations, not only Bosnia and Herzegovina but also the entire former SFRY, who fought against the occupiers in World War II. The battle, about which many of us listened to stories during our childhood, lasted from May 15 to June 15, 1943, and was a turning point in the partisan struggle in the Second World War. About 7,000 partisans died in Sutjeska and left their lives in the Valley of Heroes with the last message to their generations - "Death to fascism, freedom to the people". That is why you must see this memorial complex dedicated to heroes whose names are still a reminder of how much freedom means to people from the Balkans.

Meeting place of your choice - Highlander camp or Foča center. Then we head in the direction of the National Park Sutjeska and Tjentište. Sutjeska National Park is the oldest and largest national park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is a jewel of our country due to its natural values and beauties. In addition to the natural beauty it possesses, the park has exceptional historical value and is under UNESCO protection. The Valley of Heroes is about 30 km away from our camp, so you can reach this complex very quickly. The intoxicating smell of the forest, emerald green landscapes and the silence disturbed only by the occasional chirping of birds and the whistling of the wind will simply leave you speechless. We plan to visit the ossuary where the heroes of the Battle of Sutjeska are buried, then the Museum (renovation is underway and will be open to visitors this year), Brigadirsko naselje where the famous youth music festival "OK Fest" is held, and then rest we summarize the impressions next to the pool, which was the largest pool in Europe due to its 16,000 square meters at the time it was opened (Tito's time). At the end of the trip we return to the Highlander camp where lunch awaits us after which our arrangement ends.

A popular proverb says that hospitality implies the warmth of the 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.
Whether you are just a casual passerby and want to enjoy a beautiful view of the turquoise green river Drina from our terrace, or you are a guest on a full arrangement, be sure that you will enjoy delicious food in our camp. We will serve our local specialties prepared in the old old-fashioned way with a large selection of domestic and foreign drinks.
The ingredients we use are of domestic origin, from our area and with a valid declaration, and bread, pastries, pies and cakes are kneaded, dried and developed by the skilled hands of our cooks. All food is prepared according to traditional recipes, so guests often ask for a little "repeater".
Before going to any activity (rafting, hiking, canyoning, mountain biking, hiking ....) guests are served "Mountain Breakfast", which aims to provide enough strength and energy to overcome any challenge in nature. Upon your return, you will be greeted by hot soup and veal under the sac, and for dinner, barbecue, fish, and chicken with mushrooms or pie under the sac. Always expect a surprise from sweets, but sweet, like sweets made by our mothers and grandmothers. There will be tulumba, urmašica, and baklava, but also fruit and chocolate cakes, as well as good old donuts and pancakes with Euro cream and ice cream. In a word, many deacons for everyone's taste. They say that tastes are different and should not be discussed, but exciting rafting and accommodation in nature are offered by almost all camps on the banks of the Tara and Drina, but we know that the food we make is what makes us very different and why our guests they return.
