I left the lodge but the lodge won't ever leave from me. It's really a magical place in the middle of the woods, with an incredible view, peace and the owners are so nice people. It's literally an opportunity to connect with yourself and nature. There's no bathroom but for me showering at night under the moon's light was just magical. I hope I can get there anytime soon,it's an experience you don't want to miss. Thanks for the opportunity, the best volunteering ever!!!

Pimoz picked me up and took me to his the lodge. The view was amazing day and night, and you have it every day, that's crazy. You get a lot of free time. And a lot of fun, on the weekends we drank some beers with primoz and other hikers and get told incredible stories. The food there was very good. Beans and chicken soup every weekend and I loved it. You have to go there and experience it yourself, it's absolutely worth it.

I had a really great experience at the lodge Franko, the place is amazing if you wanna be in touch with nature, the view is credible, you meet a lot of local people and the work is chill. The only complicated thing is the bathroom and hygiene

This was my first experience with work exchange and it was definitely an amazing one! Primož is an amazing guy who takes care of everyone, made me feel like I was back home in Brazil. I didn't work at the lodge, but had the opportunity of helping him build a new house, I had so much fun learning more about it with other volunteers. The work is not difficult and if you do your part you'll be compensated for that. As long as you respect and help everyone, clean after yourself and is not selfish and lazy, be sure you will have a great time with Primož like I had!

I had a great time at the lodge Franko. I would love to go back someday. Best views of Sarajevo and plenty of chance to meet locals and internationals. Just be sure to clean up after yourself and don't drink too much rakija and you'll get on smoothly :)
