Access to the starting point:
From Sarajevo, drive towards Foca and just before it turn off for Gacko and Tjentište (right-hand road). Continue to Tjentište and a few kilometres after the sign for the end of the village, you will see mountain signs and the Kovačev Panj sign on the right. About 250 m after the signs you can park in a small parking lot on the left side of the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, return to the signposts and follow the signs uphill. The trail climbs steeply, partly getting lost, but is quite well marked. After about three hours, you will reach the lake Donje Bare (1450 m), where you can rest at a hunting lodge or at a resting place a few minutes away, from which you can see the monument to the II Dalmatian Brigade. It is accessible via a partially worn path across the livada from the resting place. From the resting place, continue along the road and turn left at the first junction of four roads. The signs are not very visible due to logging, so pay attention! Follow the markings and the road, and when it ends, follow the logged path over the livado. After an hour, as we start to approach the slope, we can see the lake Gornje Bare (1640 m) on our left. We continue through the steep forest and across the livado, where the path often gets lost, so follow Uglješin Vrhu, which is on our right. After another hour or so, we reach the summit, where we have a beautiful view of Zelenogora.
WARNING:
The trail gets lost in some places, so pay close attention to the markings and footprints of other hikers!
