From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Camp Sutjeska.

Book accommodations and tours in advance, especially during peak season (July and August), to ensure availability.
Bring appropriate hiking gear, including sturdy shoes, layers of clothing, and rain gear, as the weather in the mountains can be unpredictable.
Try the local cuisine at the camp's restaurant, featuring fresh, homemade dishes.
Visit the Valley of Heroes early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and fully appreciate the memorial complex.
Consider a guided tour of Perućica Primeval Forest, as access is restricted and requires the company of a park ranger.
