Konjuh, Mountain peak in Banovići Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Konjuh is a mountain in the Tuzla Canton of northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, stretching about 30 km and built of serpentinite, diabase and tuff. Its highest summit, Vrh Konjuha, reaches 1328 m, and the massif is drained by the Krivaja, Spreča and Drinjača rivers. Dense forests of pine, fir, spruce, beech and maple cover most of it.
The mountain holds several necropolises of stećak tombstones, with over 500 recorded in the Kladanj municipality alone. Remains of a caravan route used to carry salt from Tuzla cross the massif, and several World War II monuments stand on its slopes. In 2017 the Tuzla Canton Assembly declared part of Konjuh a protected landscape.
The mountain served as a passage on ancient trade routes where salt from the Tuzla region was moved through mountain passes. These routes shaped how people historically moved through and understood this landscape.
Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit with access points from the Tuzla-Sarajevo highway along its northeastern side. The routes are accessible to different skill levels, and sturdy footwear helps on the forest paths.
Konjuh was declared a protected landscape by the Tuzla Canton Assembly on 27 September 2017, after an initiative from mountaineering clubs and nature lovers. The decision set three zones: zone A covers 2,411.42 hectares under the strictest regime, zone B 5,093.70 hectares and zone C 511.49 hectares. Built-up land makes up only 0.4 percent of the area.
