Route from monastery through Bilopolje is well marked (we checked it personnaly), as well as route from Gornje Nakovane (third-party report); marks on Ruskovici route are very neglected and partly destroyed in forest fire; if someone is coming here for first time, I would recommend the Bilopolje route to avoid orientation problems; this route is also partly going through forest (shadow!)
You are absolutely right!
Although I have named the route over Ruskovici as the "classical", since it is the oldest and in older times also the most popular climb (and to me personally the most beatifull, because of nice scenery), these days this route is very much neglected an people tend to climb over Gornje Nakovane more and more because it is the easiest way, and it is the route also pilgrims use to climb the peak during religious festivities. I´ll try to reshape the text on SP page so there will be less problems in future.
Thanks again.
Take care,

Hi, i know it's been a while since you both posted about this trip, but I was wondering if this is a hike that's safe to do alone or if you knew about a group tour/hike that i could join? Additionally, how many days would you suggest staying in Orebic? I will be traveling from Dubrovnik and would like to head to Split after. I am a 27 yr old female traveling alone end of September. Thank you!
