About this landmark
Leotar Mountain is the largest limestone peak in the Trebinje area, located north of the city, with its highest point at 1,228 meters above sea level. It stretches in the Dinaric direction northwest–southeast, with Popovo Polje and the Trebišnjica on the south side and Ljubomir Polje on the north.
From the summit there is an exceptional panoramic view: to the south you can see the Adriatic Sea, to the east Orjen and the Kuč Mountains and Komovi, to the north Bioč and Volujak, and to the west Biokovo. Leotar has steep limestone slopes with sparse low vegetation and grass, frequent fires in summer, and almost no snow in winter because of its proximity to the sea. The average annual temperature at the summit is about 10 °C, while in Trebinje it is 16.6 °C. The mountain is rich in medicinal herbs. More than 260 sunny days a year make Trebinje one of the sunniest cities in the Balkans, and Leotar protects it from cold northern winds.
