HERC TREB – TREBINJE
(Trebinje, Dubrovnik Fortresses, Leotar, Kamene Oči, Sveti Ilija Viewpoint, Herceg Novi)
DATE: December 29, 2026 – January 3, 2027
Trebinje is one of those cities everyone talks about with a smile — you know, those places that simply have a great vibe. It is close enough to the sea to have picked up that fresh Adriatic atmosphere, yet far enough away to be comfortably nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Dubrovnik is just over the hill, with its medieval walls and fortresses, while on the opposite side lies the Bay of Kotor, with its spectacular viewpoints.
!!! REGISTRATION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2026, DUE TO ACCOMMODATION CONFIRMATION!!!

We then have time to enjoy the charms of this fairytale-like Adriatic gem.
After the hike, we enter the world of Game of Thrones and use our free time to wander through the medieval streets of the city, surrounded by its impressive city walls.

Since Mount Leotar is the mountain that welcomes us and watches over Trebinje, it is only fitting that we climb it.
The ascent is not particularly demanding, while the view from the summit over the mountain ridge and the valley below is the perfect finishing touch to this trip.
If anyone does not feel like hiking, we completely understand. Those participants will have the option to relax in Trebinje and soak up a little more of its unique seaside-and-mountain atmosphere.

- Passengers are requested to take care of their travel documents, money and personal belongings throughout the duration of the arrangement. Leaving valuables on the bus or in hotel rooms is not recommended, as neither the carrier nor the hotel is responsible for them. In the event of a break-in of the bus, passengers may request compensation only for their insured belongings from authorized insurance companies. The travel organizer cannot be held responsible, nor may complaints be addressed to the organizer, in the event of such unforeseen circumstances.
- Please note that this is a group trip, and the entire organization is based on that principle. Accordingly, passengers should understand that the vehicle, music and films played during the journey are neutral in content. The temperature inside the vehicle cannot be individually adjusted for each seat; what feels warm to one person may feel cold to another, and vice versa.

In the event of a hotel change, if a specific hotel is stated in the travel program, the organizer is obliged to inform all passengers in writing. The replacement hotel must fully meet the standards of the hotel described in the program. If you do not accept a replacement of the contracted accommodation, you may cancel the trip without any consequences.
- Descriptions of accommodation facilities are for informational purposes only. The travel organizer is not responsible for any deviations or for the quality of services provided by the accommodation facilities, as these are solely the responsibility of the accommodation providers. Some additional facilities and services may be available for an extra charge. Availability of certain facilities may vary, as this depends exclusively on the accommodation provider (e.g. safe, parking, minibar, TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, internet, etc.). We recommend that passengers also obtain additional information about these facilities online, through social media and specialized travel websites such as Tripadvisor, Booking.com, etc.

The organizing agency cannot guarantee such requests.
- Accommodation in group arrangements of this type is generally provided in four-person or six-person rooms with an additional/extra bed intended for the accommodation of a third person. Rooms with an extra bed are less comfortable, and the third bed may be of standard or smaller dimensions. Please note that an extra bed may significantly reduce the comfort of the third passenger. The extra bed is usually a metal-frame bed with a thin mattress, an armchair bed, or a sofa bed.
- All times stated in the travel programs are given according to the local time of the country in which the group is staying.
