The walk requires an intermediate level of fitness. It leads to the rather isolated peak of Krvavac on Mt Bjelašnica. Since the peak is overgrown in scrub it can be accessed only from the eastern face.

The Umoljani-Krvavac route takes you over the pass of Crveni klanac and Greda. Krvavac can be seen from the pass. You reach Greda relatively quickly; it's only 5-6 kilometres away.
The peak of Krvavac is entirely covered in scrub. There is only one way to the top on the north-east face of Krvavac. You can only see it from the foot of the peak.
On the way back you take the same road. The whole route is some 13km in length, and the altitude difference is around 700m.
