Perućica is one of the last remaining
primeval forests in Europe. It is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the
border with Montenegro, and is part of the Sutjeska National Park. The forest
can only be explored in the company of rangers.
The tallest measured Norway Spruce (63
m) is located in this forest.
Skakavac waterfall is formed on the
Perućica, a mountain creek, in Perućica primeval forest, which is regulated as
a Strict Nature Reserve as part of Sutjeska National Park in Republika Srpska,
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is one of the highest waterfalls in
the country, at about 75 metres (246 ft) in height. The Perućica primeval
forest of beech and spruce is situated beneath Maglić (2,386 m), the highest
peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and separated from Zelengora mountain by the
canyon of the Sutjeska river.
Perućica creek cuts through the
Perućica forest and descends between two steep Maglić slopes. Near the middle
of its course, the stream cascades from the upper hanging valley to the lower
valley, falling 75 meters from a karstic limestone precipice to reach its
confluence with the Sutjeska river in the valley of Tjentište.
