Home > Trebevic
Trebevic is a mountain in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is found directly to the southeast of Sarajevo, bordering Jahorina mountain. Trebevic is 1627 meters (5338 feet) tall, making it the second shortest of the Sarajevo mountains.During the middle ages, Trebevic was known as Zlatni Do. During the 1984 Winter Olympics Trebevic, like the other Sarajevo mountains, was used for a number of Olympic events, such as bobsledding. During the Siege of Sarajevo, Trebevic took on a darker role as its elevations proved ideal positions for besieging artillery and the mountain became a key fighting ground.
Trebevic today is not as important of a tourist destination as Igman or Bjelašnica, largely due to the heavy fighting that took place in the early 1990s. Still, most of the land mines are now cleared, and civilian casualties on Trebevic are today unheard of. There are numerous hotels, mountaineering homes, and other such structures on Trebevic and the immediate area.
