Velika Jastrebica, Peak in Orjen mountain range, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina

Velika Jastrebica is the highest summit of the Bijela Gora plateau in the Orjen range, reaching 1,865 m on the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. It is built entirely of Cretaceous limestone and surrounded by cirques formed during the last ice age. Its slopes carry forests of silver fir and beech, with Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii) at the forest edge.

Velika Jastrebica lies on the boundary line between Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republika Srpska) and Montenegro, at the southeastern tip of Republika Srpska above Trebinje. In 2020 the Government of Republika Srpska placed it within the Orjen Nature Park. The summit is built entirely of Cretaceous carbonate rock, dipping at an angle toward the Bijela Gora plateau.

The name Jastrebica means "great she-hawk", after the hawk that gave the summit its name. The mountain lies within the Orjen Nature Park, established in 2020 on the territory of the City of Trebinje. The marked trail from the village of Ubla passes a memorial plaque to Živadin Simić on its steep first section.

The paths are steep and rocky, so proper hiking boots and a good map or GPS device are needed for safe navigation. Conditions are most favorable from June through September when weather is more stable.

Velika Jastrebica is built entirely of Cretaceous limestone beds that dip at an angle toward the Bijela Gora plateau. Unlike other moraine landscapes of the Orjen massif, no clear chronological ordering of Quaternary moraines has been established on the peak.
