Blidinje to Jablanica
Took a taxi from Jablanica for 40 Mark for two people. Lost the path at the beginning, but found it again on the 4x4 road. After 3km there is a crossing which isn't marked well. We went down to Masna Luka (near the monastry is a good water source) and then through the forest up. (This is not the one on the map) Path is well marked. Both ways lead to the same path again, though.
Orlovaca Spring had water. Don't go straight up from the path at the closest point, but walk a bit further. There is a stone with a sign on it after 5 minutes.
Mountain Lodge Vilinac is closed if you don't call in advance. They provide food as well. Guys were really friendly and helped us with further plannings. Spring a bit down from the hut is good.
Next day we continued all the way down. Plasa Hut is closed as well if you don't call. Has rain water outside. Really nice path until you get to the 4x4 road (it starts earlier than marked on the map), this part is long and boring. Slept in Jablanica in a Restaurant, just ask around.
Especially the second day was quite hard. Would recommend to do it in 3 days and organize either Plasa Hut or sleep in Plasa Shelter.
Masna Luka - off trail, but we loved the place. Magical, good camping spot with accessible toilets, vrelo Jasle, monastery with wifi. Good trail connection from monastery to Boricevac which is on VD. Great option to eat at motel Hajducki Vrleti (40min hike from Masna luka or you can hike previous section to saddle under Veliki Vran and descent on good trail directly to the motel). We climbed Plocno, nice view but take care, there is a military object on the top, don't wander around too much. Vilinac hut has great water source - spring, Plasa hut has only rain water in plastic tank. Water sources under Plasa are dirty/non existent. First good source is Bukova spring (behind small hut).
