Bijela stijena - Via Ferrata

Baščaršija, Latinska ćuprija

Marked route starts at the PD Napredak Mountain Lodge. The entrance to the trail can be found in the woods above the small outbuilding, to the right from the spring with drinking water. It is modestly marked in the beginning. One should move along the visible path (the parallel paths are subsequently joined into one, and the left one is a better choice) which leads past the clearing with mountain lodges and cottages: Tabačka Ravan, offering a clear view of Bijela Stijena. There is a marked trail leading to the left, but one should stick to the logical movement direction which leads to the rock. Next to fenced cottages the trail passes to the right of a gravel road and leads through the woods. Once again, you will encounter two paths, of which the left one is a better choice. A slightly steeper path leads to an intersection with adequately marked trail. From the intersection, you should follow blue plastic bags until you reach the footpath entry point (5-10 min of slightly steep terrain).

Via ferrata is secured by metal cable and ladders in one short section. After the section with metal ladders, there is a 20-meter section without protective structures leading to the peak and one should choose one of two paths: a longer and a slightly more demanding section between two large rocks (which is more visible) on the right side, or a vertical, yet shorter section which leads directly through a gap in the rock. Upon leaving the feratta, one should proceed to the top of the rock, and descend along the left trodden path that leads below the rock. The same route should be used to get back to the PD Napredak Lodge.
