Highland Cabins Krnja Jela

Highland Cabins Krnja Jela sits high at 1,560 m in the scenic Sinjajevina mountains — a small, peaceful, rural accommodation perfect for travellers seeking fresh mountain air, quiet surroundings, and simple comforts. Nestled amidst pastures and wild scenery, this is a place designed for those who value nature, calm, and authenticity over luxury. The site remains intentionally small-scale, offering a tranquil escape from urban noise and bustle.

Facilities are deliberately basic but functional: you’ll have access to toilets and showers, a barbecue area, and even the possibility to light a campfire — ideal for warming up after a mountain evening or cooking a hearty meal under the stars. The cabins and tents here embrace simplicity and closeness to nature. Dogs are welcome, making it a good pick for visitors travelling with pets.

Highland Cabins is well placed for hikes and mountain biking — the surrounding mountainous terrain and forested landscapes offer routes for both seasoned hikers and leisurely walkers. With the nearest town, Šavnik, just a 30-minute drive away, you have access to basic services and local culture while enjoying remoteness at the campsite itself.

The location in the Sinjajevina mountains makes Highland Cabins a great base for outdoor adventures. You can explore alpine pasturelands, cross rocky ridges and valleys, and enjoy sweeping mountain views — perfect for hiking, mountain biking, or just wandering. For horse riding enthusiasts, the region offers local riding opportunities, too.

If you’d like to venture a bit further, the wider region — including mountain trails, rivers and rugged terrain — invites exploration. A half-hour drive takes you to Šavnik, a quiet town at the meeting point of three rivers, where you can take in local life, find basic shops, and explore natural scenery around waterfalls or riverbanks. For more ambitious day trips and adrenaline, mountain biking or horseback riding through highland paths offers a memorable experience.

• The accommodation is simple and rustic — don’t expect luxury, but rather comfort in an authentic mountain-camping style.
• Pets are allowed, so you are free to bring your dog — just be sure to plan for their needs (food, leash, local rules).
• Because of the altitude (1,560 m), weather can change fast — bring warm clothes, waterproof gear and be prepared for cooler nights, even in summer.
• Facilities are limited: though toilets, showers and barbecue area are available, there may be no on-site shop or restaurant — it’s wise to bring supplies or plan a visit to Šavnik for provisioning.
• Access: a 30-minute drive to Šavnik for supplies or meals; you’ll need transport or your own vehicle to reach town or nearby trailheads.
• The simplicity is part of the charm — this place is ideal for travellers seeking quiet, nature and minimal distractions.
