A moderate hiking tour with a gradual ascent, three water springs, and varied terrain.
Trail 330 is 4.7 km long and runs in one direction with a total ascent of 505 m. It combines forest paths and gravel road, and in the upper section there are as many as three drinking-water springs.
Trail 330 starts at an elevation of 1,117 m and ends at 1,611 m, covering 505 m of ascent over just 4.7 km. The pace is steady and gradual, making the trail suitable for hikers with a basic level of fitness who want a solid climb without any technical demands.
The surface is evenly divided: about half the route consists of an earth or forest path, and the remainder is gravel road. At 2.9 km from the start, at an elevation of 1,333 m, there is the first spring – a convenient spot for a short rest. In the final section of the tour, between 4.2 and 4.5 km, three more springs appear at elevations of 1,562 m, 1,569 m, and 1,586 m.
The trail is marked and passes through areas in the surroundings of Kolašin, with Pešića and Šiško Lake in the broader hinterland. Since it is one-way, transport or a return journey must be arranged in advance.
It is recommended for hikers of moderate fitness who want a half-day outing with a clear goal.
