A cold wind moves across the shoulder of Maglić as the group crests a rib of scree; below, Trnovačko Lake gathers the light like a green heart. The first day begins on a quiet road out of Mostar, through villages and the war memorial at Tjentište, then into Sutjeska National Park where Perućica—one of Europe's last primeval forests—presses close and a waterfall prowls the slope.
