About this landmark
Donje Bare and Gornje Bare are two mountain lakes on the northeastern side of Zelengora, within Sutjeska National Park. Donje Bare lie at an altitude of about 1,475–1,490 meters and measure about 200 × 140 meters, with a maximum depth of four meters. Gornje Bare are at an altitude of about 1,550 meters, are smaller — about 150 × 80 meters — and only two meters deep. Nearby is the Borić viewpoint with panoramic views of Maglić, Volujak, the Sutjeska canyon and the Perućica rainforest. All three sites are managed by Sutjeska National Park.
Donje Bare can be reached by a gravel road from Tjentište (20 km); off-road vehicles are recommended. Gornje Bare and Borić can only be reached on foot — Borić is about 40 minutes from Donje Bare, and Gornje Bare about an hour's walk. At Donje Bare there is the NP Sutjeska mountain lodge and the possibility of trout fishing with a permit. In summer, you can swim in both lakes.
