ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Hiking to Lisina is the peak objective of a Kozara visit: a forest-trail ascent of the highest point of the mountain, at 978 metres, for a broad view over the wooded park and the plains of the Krajina. It is a prepared-hiker destination rather than a casual stroll, and the view from the summit is the reward. No exact canonical visitor point for the peak is independently verified here, so no coordinate is given for Lisina. Check forest, weather and seasonal conditions before setting out, remain on recognised routes, and do not assume the trail or the peak are accessible or safe in all conditions.
