Katuns

A katun (summer cottage) on Bjelasica (Route 10)

Katuns are summer cottages in the mountains, to which locals move during the summer months to graze their livestock. They are typically occupied for three to four months of the year, depending on the severity of the previous winter (and more specifically the amount of snow remaining). You will pass many katuns on the routes in this guide. You may be invited in for a coffee by their friendly inhabitants, and in some cases you may be offered cheese for sale. Remember that they won’t have much for themselves, so accept in moderation. When camping near a katun, please bear in mind that this is someone’s home, and the local spring is their supply of drinking water.
