First you get to Konjic, and then to Crno polje by car or hired van, and you set out for the mountain hut Jezerce. The first part of the road from Crno polje goes through the forest. About an hour from your starting point there is a spring called Picino vrelo hidden in the rock on your left. To get to the water you have to climb a few metres up the rock, and then squeeze yourself into the gap where you can reach the water. Not long after you leave the forest and the rest of the road leads across a meadow. Some hundred metres from the road is the spring of Zupčevo vrelo.
You can climb the nearby peak Taraš which will treat you to an incredible view. You can see the peaks Zubac and Osobac, Sivadije in the distance, and the mountain hut Jezerce below. The way to the summit of Otiš is via the eastern ridge or via the saddle from the south. After Otiš, the road leads to the peak Zelena glava. On your way back to the hut, you can take the road leading to Tisovica and further to Crno polje.
