Grmeč Mountain extends for about 70 km in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, between the Una and the Sana River basins. Towering over the rest of the mountain range to the southeast stands its highest point, Crni Vrh Peak, at 1604 m above sea level. At the base of the mountain lies the large Podgrmeč ridge with its lower foothills, Majdan and Srnetica, adjoined by the surrounding plains of Bravsko, Petrovačko, Bjelajsko and Lušci.
The geological evolution of this area began in the Mesozoic Era (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods) through the Cenozoic (Tertiary Paleocene and Neocene) and meets the present in the Quaternary Period, the last period of today's relief formation. Grmeč Mountain experiences Alpine and humid continental climates.

The main watercourses in the area are fed from many springs found on the hillsides of Grmeč, such as the River Sanica, which rises from two springs – one formed in a lake, the other in a cave. In terms of other large hydrographic capacities, the following rivers are notable: the Una, the Vojskova, the Japra, the Sanica and the Korčanica. Notable natural lakes are Saničko Lake and Jabukovačko Lake.

Directions

The mountain trail leading to the peak of Crni Vrh can be reached from two directions:

Leave from Bosanski Petrovac in the direction of Smoljana village; continue straight after the traffic lights. Turn right at the first intersection after Daćina voda. At the next intersection turn right to Tavani. After Potoci spring, you will reach the third intersection where you should turn right and continue to the starting point of the mountain trail leading to Crni vrh.

Leave from Bosanski Petrovac in the direction of Ključ; in Pećanci make a left exit; at the first intersection continue straight (to your left, there is a macadam road passing through the Janjila village; you can take this road to get to the intersection from the main road), turn left at the next intersection; at the third intersection (new forest footpath) also turn left. You will reach the same starting point of the mountain trail leading to Crni vrh.
