Activity
PG Bešlagić / Herbal HIKE
Elezovići / Umoljani, Trnovo
Guided walks that combine hiking, herb gathering and local food, plus plant workshops at an excursion spot in Umoljani.
The Bešlagić family farm has run herb-gathering walks and workshops on medicinal and edible plants since 2019. A workshop lasts about three hours: a tour of the herb garden, making oils and salves, and a lunch of wild plants. The family grows vegetables and aromatic herbs and makes calendula, yarrow and lavender balms. They also sell goods from other Bjelašnica makers, woollen socks in particular. The published workshop is currently unavailable for direct booking; arrange availability with the host.
