Overview of mountain biking route:

MTB route Grmeč (Crni Vrh) is situated in the west region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Grmeč mountain has a long ridge and the highest elevation point is Crni Vrh summit at height of 1605 meters over the sea level. The route is easy and placed mostly on dry unpaved and carriageway roads. The final ascent from Pećinica pool to Crni Vrh is for hiking only. I used GPS navigation because  there was no labeled path to Crni Vrh. It takes about 45-60 minutes of hiking to Crni Vrh.  Near the descent section from Crni Vrh to Smoljana village there is a spring of water named Potoci. Due to unlabeled hiking trail to Crni Vrh and many unlabeled junctions a GPS unit with the uploaded route is a must for fast and safe navigation.




 
Getting there: Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, Travnik, Donji Vakuf, Jajce, Ključ – Bosanski Petrovac highway, Stankovići village or coming from Croatia consider the direction Zagreb, Karlovac, Slunj, Izačići, Bihać, Bosanski Petrovac – Ključ highway, Stankovići village. The label for Stankovići village was missing.

Description of MTB route:

The starting point of the MTB route is at this junction near Stankovići village. Proceed to the east course on the carriageway partly overgrown in the grass. At the next junction turn left on the unpaved road that leads to the north east course. Ascend to the village and than turn right on the carriageway. The carriageway leads to the east course near Kuburići  and Latinovići villages. Turn left on the unpaved road and than on the next junction turn right. The carriageway along the forest leads to Pećinica pool. I left the bike near the pool and hiked to Crni Vrh by already prepared route on my GPS unit. There is no labeled path to Crni Vrh. At Crni Vrh, the highest elevation point of Grmeč mountain there is the trig point. I returned back to Pećinica pool and rode back to the last junction. From the junction proceed to the north west course on the carriageway. Turn left at next 2 junctions and pass near the spring of the water named Potoci. The unpaved road turns into the paved road in Tavani village. Descend and turn left on the paved road to Smoljana village. I visited the church and proceeded on the carriageway to the east course. After about 2 km from the church turn left on the junction and proceed on the carriageway overgrown in the grass back to Stankovići village. For more details check above interactive Map and below Gallery & Notes of the route.
