Peace Dividend: Unspoiled Hiking in the Balkans
Last summer, an exploratory group of five hikers walked among the majestic, jagged limestone peaks of Sutjeska National Park, eventually ascending to the top of 7,828-foot Maglic, the highest mountain in the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There, they enjoyed views of Montenegro, then the newest nation in the world (it is now second to Kosovo, which declared independence in February). Led by Mountain Travel Sobek (www.mtsobek.com), a United States adventure company, the tourists were part of the first American adventure-travel group to explore Bosnia since the Balkan wars of the 1990’s tore Yugoslavia apart.
