The M-20 plunges south-west from Foča into Bosnia’s oldest national park, threading a 1,200-metre-deep canyon between the Zelengora and Maglić massifs.

From Foča take the M-20 south-west; the road descends into Sutjeska National Park as canyon walls close in and dense old-growth beech and fir press against the tarmac, the Sutjeska River alongside. The route passes 1943 battle memorials before reaching the park visitor centre at Tjentište, a corridor of raw wilderness past the Perućica primeval forest.
