Glamoč
Гламоч
Skip unless you are hiking Šator mountain or tracing Yugoslav history: one night max, and only if you have a car.
Glamoč is a small, quiet town on the Glamočko polje high plain at 800 m, 135 km from Split. It has a museum dedicated to Yugoslav war hero Ivo Lola Ribar and is a starting point for hikes up Šator mountain. The bus station is in poor condition and services are limited; a car is essential. Most travellers pass through en route to Livno, Drvar or Mrkonjić Grad.
