The Lelija mountains were not part of the frontline during the 1992-'95 conflict and therefore have virtually no contamination with land mines and unexploded ordnance.[2] Therefore, Lelija is an attractive destination for hikers and tour skiers. The slopes of Lelija are covered with mixed forest up to an altitude of ca. 1400 m., thick shrubs of Pinus Mugo grow further up. A rough unpaved mountain road passes from Kalinovik and Jelašca north-south through the Lelija range and further through Zelengora. A mountain house used to be located at Jablan Vrelo, a spring that is located on the trail to Velika Lelija summit, but it has long fallen into oblivion. What remains is a beautiful hike in an area that doesn't see many visitors.[3]
