'Trebević' is a mountain in central
Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is found directly to the southeast of
Sarajevo, bordering
Jahorina mountain. Trebević is 1627 meters (5338 feet) tall, making it the second shortest of the Sarajevo mountains.
During the
Middle Ages, Trebević was known as Zlatni Do. During the
1984 Winter Olympics Trebević, like the other Sarajevo mountains, was used for a number of Olympic events, such as
bobsledding. During the
Siege of Sarajevo, Trebević took on a darker role as its elevations proved ideal positions for besieging artillery and the mountain became a key fighting ground.
Trebević today is not as important of a tourist destination as
Igman or
Bjelašnica, largely due to the heavy fighting that took place in the early
1990s. Still, most of the
land mines are now cleared, and civilian casualties on Trebević are today unheard of. There are numerous hotels, mountaineering homes, and other such structures on Trebević and the immediate area.
