Lučin Vrh – 2396m

The peak in the shadow of Bobotov Kuk - above Valovita dol, a high craggy valley located at about 2000 m above sea level, between the impressive peaks of Mina Bogaz and Bobotov kuk, is Lučin Vrh. This peak is separated from Bobot's Kuk on the western side by the Velika Previja pass, while it is separated from Mina's Bogaz on the eastern side by the Lucina previa, after which it got its name. Observed from Valovita Dol, Lučin Vrh remains somewhat unnoticed, in the shadow of its more impressive neighbors Bobotov Kuk and Mina Bogaz. From Velika Previa to the top of Lučin Vrh, the height difference is only 45 meters, which makes it possible to climb Lučin Vrh during the ascent to Bobotov Kuk or Đevojka.

Importance and recommendations for visitors:

Climbing Lučin vrh also offers the possibility of climbing the nearby Bobotov kuk (30 minutes) and Đevojka (20 minutes), thus enriching this tour. The first ascent of this peak was made by Austrian alpinists. Viewed from Valovit dol, Lučin vrh remains somewhat unnoticed, in the shadow of its impressive neighbor Bobotov kuk. Many people do not notice the proximity of Lučin vrh during the climb to Bobotov kuk, probably under the impression of the excitement of climbing the highest peak of Durmitor.
