Via Dinarica BH-W-10 around Treskavica Mountain to Kalinovik City

Lots of gravel road walking in the first part, but trail became really nice after the turn to the Lukavac Mountain. Since my GPS was broken, I had to stick to the markings, which unfortunately disappeared after descending the mountain. I followed one of the multiple tracks, going more or less in the right direction, until trail marking appeared again. I followed these markings through a beautiful open and - later on - forested landscape, meeting the main trail again south of Vlaholje, so skipping some asphalt road.

As already mentioned, Kalinovik is a bit unfriendly, with no ATM, however a postoffice where one could withdraw money. Also great noodle soup for sale in one of the grocery shops. The friendly Lalovic family is 100% recommended!

The ATM in Kalinovik is out of order. However, there is a post office just near the ATM where we withdrew money without extra costs. The Simovica guesthouse was a really nice place to stay!

Days like today make me hate this trail honestly 😅😅 Loads of flies but also several water fountains up the road to the Lukavac turning - you wouldn’t need to carry more than 1L until this point. Look on maps.me, I think they’re all on there. Easy walking up a road. A few people have mentioned here but indeed be careful coming off Lukavac and down past Orlov kuk - we followed the track and then came upon clear trail markings which differed to the GPS but we followed them. Historically the markings have been better, but not this time! Took us down a totally different way into a forest on a nice path which was fine (although hot) until the markings completely disappeared in the forest, and we weren’t even on a trail on maps.me. We just carried on going on v muddy paths and came out just below Viaholje. We then had to go back north to stay at Simovića Kuce household which we LOVED (for more info see my review on there). Next day is an easy road to Kalinovik, a slightly odd town with a couple of shops and unfriendly people. As stated before not great food for hikers - no noodles for example - but enough to get you through. Also a small pharmacy. Water both in Kalinovik and Lalović family, who let us use their tap even though we didn’t stay.
