Terzin Bogaz – 2303m

TERZIN BOGAZ – 2303 m - (Rocky beauty above three glacial valleys) - one of the most famous and beautiful peaks of Durmitor, which rises above three glacial valleys - Lokvica in the northwest, Ledeno dol in the south and Velika Kalica in the northeast.

Like most of the peaks of Durmitor, Terzin Bogaz has two faces, an impressive 300 m high northern cliff that dominates the scree and snowfield of Circa Bavani, as well as the Lokvica valley and the Zelena Lokva lake. With this cliff, Terzin Bogaz faces its closest neighbor, Međed.

Second, the southwestern face of Terzin Bogaz is a grassy slope facing Ledeno dol. Most of the summit of this peak is leveled and walkable. The peak is covered with grass and small stones and is spacious enough for dozens of visitors to enjoy. A special attraction of this peak is its narrow rocky ridge below the very top, on which a safety cable is installed. At the foot of Terzin Bogaz, at the junction of its northeastern limestone rock and scree, is the Ledena pećina cave.

View from Terzin Bogaz 

The central position in the massif makes Terzin Bogaz an extraordinary viewpoint from which the entire Durmitor massif and its other highest peaks can be seen. The views towards the valleys of Velika Kalica, Lokvica, Ledeni do, Biljegov do, and Valoviti do are particularly impressive. The view from the top does not miss the green jewel – the small lake Zelena lokva, located at the foot of the Lokvica valley. Although the view from the top fascinates all the surrounding peaks of Durmitor, perhaps the most impressive sight is Međed, its colossal western side, as well as the ridge towards the peak of Veliki Međed that rises from Velika previja. 

The following peaks can be seen from the top: Savin kuk, Šljeme, Bobotov kuk, Bezimeni vrh, Mina Bogaz, Međed.
