Maglić, the highest peak of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the border with Montenegro, offers a challenging but rewarding hiking experience. Reaching trailheads, such as Prijevor pass, often requires a 4x4 vehicle due to unpaved and difficult roads. Given its strenuous nature, exposure, and potential for rapidly changing weather, a guided visit is highly recommended for safety and navigation, especially for less experienced hikers, though seasoned mountaineers may attempt it solo with proper preparation. The optimal season for hiking is late spring to early autumn (June-September), as winter ascents demand significant mountaineering expertise and equipment due to snow and ice. Expect a full-day endeavor for the ascent and descent, typically 8-12 hours, with costs varying based on guide services (€50-€150+ per person), transportation, and national park fees (if applicable from the Bosnian side). Essential gear includes sturdy boots, layers, rain gear, navigation tools, and ample water, as the mountain presents a significant physical and mental challenge with spectacular panoramic views.
