Via Dinarica BH-W-05 Čvrsnica mountain and Jablanica city

We mixed the previous stage and this one in two days. Our plan was originally to stay at Vilniac hut but we realized it was too long so we camped on our way. We tried to call the hut to ensure the opening as the one in Blindije was closed. The man in charge called us back a little bit later ( he is almost the only one who did in a lot of hut we tried to call). Finally we reached the hut on our second day just before lunch time. The gardian cooked us a great meal of pasta who was very well welcomed. This is a very great stage even if the last part of the trail going down to Jablanica is a nightmare.

I started at Blidinje hut. Very beautiful trail with amazing views, signed good. Worth to go on Pločno mountain (if you plan to sleep at Vilinac hut you have plenty of time to go, still some snow on the trail so hiking poles are recommended). Vilinac hut was opened but completely full - organised trip from mountaineering club, water was available in a well 2min from the hut. I pitched a tent by the water. Crvenjak lake still full with water, nice camping place next to it (on a photo). Plasa hut was closed, rain water was available, still more than a half in it. From Vilinac hut to Jablanica I needed aprox 8 hours with stops, so you still have time to resupply or even to go to Ravna. Slept in hotel Jablanica-yep expensive if you're hiking solo (30€/night, even more expensive if you don't book on Booking), but included breakfast is really good and food in restaurant as well and also cheap.
