Ranča Planina locally known as Ranče [3] is a mountain range in central Bosnia,[4] in the municipality of Travnik, Dobretići and Jajce.[5] The territory of Dobretići is almost entirely on the mountain (formerly with about 20 Croatian villages and hamlets).
Under the northeastern slopes of Ranča flows Ugar, along which there is a narrow valley Pougarje. It is exposed to the steep slopes Korićani’s Rocks and of Ugarske stijene (Ugar’s Rocks), i.e. the mouths of Ilomska and Kobilja.[6][7][8][9][10]
