Overview of mountain biking route:
MTB route Šatorsko Jezero is situated on Šator mountain in the west area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On Šator mountain there is Šatorsko Jezero (Šator Lake). As the option I included the trail to the area named Međugorje. Međugorje is the plateau situated in the south east area of the mountain. On the section to Međugorje you can get very nice view on the chain of Dinara mountains. All the trail is dry and rocky carriageway. Near Šatorsko Jezero there is a spring of drinking water.
Getting there: Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highway from Bosansko Grahovo to Livno, Gornje Peulje village.

Description of MTB route:
The starting point of MTB route is near the church in Gornje Peulje village. The church is near the highway coming from Bosansko Grahovo to Livno. From the church proceed to Livno and after few hundred meters turn left on the carriageway to Šator mountain. After about 3.7km, on the crossroad turn right. Proceed straight until you reach the crossroad. Keep right for Međugorje plateau. It’s a long section. On the right side of the trail you can get a nice view on the chain of Dinara summits. Until you reach Međugorje plateau you will pass few crossroads. Keep right on them or just proceed straight on them and you will reach Međugorje plateau plateau. Do not ride of the road! From Međugorje plateau ride back to before mentioned crossroad where you can proceed to Šatorsko Jezero. Ride straight until you reach the crossroad. Turn right on the carriageway that will end near the Šatorsko Jezero and hut. You can walk around the lake and enjoy in the nice view on Šator mountain. I used the same route for the ride back to Gornje Peulje village. For more details check above Interactive Map and below Notes & Photo Gallery of the route.
