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]

The Ranča is rich in mixed deciduous-coniferous forest communities, which are interspersed with mountain pastures. In the woods lives typical game for this type of biocenoses, among others: bear, wolf, fox, wild boar, badger, hedgehog et al.
In 1893 construction of the narrow-gauge railway Turbe-Gostilj-Jasik-Kik above Zubovići began. It was in use until World War II. [11]
