Sutjeska — Gentian, Juniper & 300-Year-Old Beech

5 nights · September

The last chapter closes in Sutjeska National Park, around Perućica — one of the last primeval forests in Europe, where beech and fir stand three hundred years old and the silence is total.

Five September nights under old-growth canopy, with the summit of Maglić at 2,386 metres above. The plants are the bitter root of Gentiana lutea — great yellow gentian — and juniper, gathered at the season's and the journey's end.
