The final ascent section to Leotar peak is very steep. The opened view from the trail to Trebinje town and Orjen mountain is very nice. Due to hot summer time the route is recommended during spring, fall or winter.

Description of MTB route:

The starting point of the route is the bridge in Trebinje town. From Trebinje proceed on the main highway to Bileća. After a long gradually ascent turn left just before the gas station and proceed to climb on the steep carriageway. After the long & steep ascent proceed on steep turns and than the trail leads to the ridge of Leotar mountain. At the ridge there is the labeled junction to the ruins of Gljiva tower. The rocky singletrack leads to Gljiva tower and the carriageway leads straight to Leotar peak. At the peak there is the radio relay station. Leotar peak is at elevation of 1228 meters over the sea level. For comeback I rode on the same trail. For more details check above interactive Map and below Gallery & Notes of the route.
