Brief description

The tour requires an extremely high level of fitness, as it involves walking in very deep snow. It is rather difficult to find your way as the markers are often buried under the snow.

Description

From Raduče you can reach Bunovac by car, though at times snow and/or rockslides obstruct the road so you have to cross an additional 11 km on foot. From Bunovac, go towards the first peak, Malovan (1707 MASL). From there you can see the summit of Vaganski vrh. To get to Vaganski vrh you have to master other peaks on the way. The way back is towards Struge. There are landmines in some areas, therefore you must stay on the marked trail at all times.

Directions

From the village of Raduč head southwest towards Bunovac. If the snow isn't too deep and if the road is in a good condition you can cover this part of the track by car. From Bunovac head south to the peak Maloman (1707 MASL), then west to the peak Vaganski vrh. From Vaganski vrh go west towards Struge, then south towards Buljma and Veliki Rujan. You may not be able to see the markers due to deep snow.
