What we’re about
Welcome! Our Meetbytravel is aimed to bring you new adventures, experiences and let you explore nature, mountains, and new places within a limited budget.
The purpose of this group is to plan for trips that aren't just like formal tourist trips but to have a memorable one with friends, laughter and loads of fun.
This club is especially for the people who love traveling and trekking and likes to explore new things in life. Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a small family and looking for trekking, hiking and travel around Europe, our travel meetups are exactly for you. Our trips are safe and secure.
But importantly, the only thing we ask from you is the 'SPIRIT'. Energy to stay young, adrenaline to try new things, and sensible to your co-travelers.
Since these trips are budget travels, we plan to travel well before, and we highly recommend reading the trip itinerary and check if it's really fit to you.
Disclaimer: These are guided tours but when we explore hiking paths, mountains you gonna on an adventure along with the organizer.

Sat 29th of June:
Breakfast
Challenging mountain hike to the highest summit of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2386). We start the hike at 1650m. It is a meadow and is filled with flowers in the summer, but soon gives way to scree, a slope covered with small and large rock debris. After some two and a half hours you reach the summit (2386m). After the summit, we hike to the heart-shaped Trnovacko lake where we make a break for lunch. The rest of the route seems like a walk in the park full of flowers. The route is a circle so we end at the starting position. At some point, we will have the opportunity to see one of the last primeval forests in Europe.
Return to the camp dinner. Free time for sports and drinks.What to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbqI7VOdsSU&ab_channel=RenatoKristic
