Practical notes
Day two follows Mostar–Počitelj–Blagaj–Nevesinje–Gacko–Foča; it is long, so start early and omit secondary stops if delayed. In Sutjeska use only marked, park-approved routes confirmed with current park advice. Never wander off-route: unexploded-ordnance risk persists in remote Bosnia. Carry offline mapping, water/layers, fuel margin and emergency contacts; phone coverage can fail. Check forecast, fire/road status, permits and guide requirements before Perućica or remote trailheads. This default uses a marked Donje Bare outing and Tjentište, not an unapproved forest entry.
