Troglav

Troglav is a summit in the Dinaric Alps distinguished by three prominent peaks that rise distinctly from the surrounding terrain. The highest point reaches approximately 1,900 meters and commands views across the region from its ridges.

The mountain served for centuries as a border zone between Bosnian and Croatian communities. Herders competed over summer pasture rights, creating a shared yet contested history across the region.

The name connects to an ancient Slavic deity associated with three-fold power and protection. Local people still reference this mythology when speaking about the mountain's distinctive triple peaks.

Access is available from trailheads located on both the Bosnian and Croatian sides of the border region. The warmest months offer the most stable conditions for hiking, as snow and ice can affect routes during colder periods.

The northern face displays a glacial cirque filled with boulders that rises dramatically above the surrounding forests. This geological formation reveals the ice age history of the area and stands apart from other peaks in the region.
