According to Mr. Dragisa Trifkovic, the first mountaineering section in Tuzla has founded in the middle of the first decade of 20th centuries. It was constituted with immigrants from other area of Austria-Hungary monarchy, where the mountaineering has been started before.

Mr. Veličko Bojović quotes that in 1929 it was funded a local mountaineering association called "Planinar"(transl: mountaineer), and after that in 1951 it was funded mountaineering association "Konjuh" (MA "Konjuh") Tuzla.

The founding assembly of the mountaineering association "Konjuh" has been organised in Tuzla theatre and the first membership-cards has been printed by Mr. Obrad Jaksić at Tuzla printing office. Selection of the name "Konjuh" was decided due to a beauty and cognition of the Konjuh mountain and legendary song from the Second World War "Konjuh planinom" (transl: "At the Konjuh mountain") that was dedicated to the bright history of the city of Tuzla.

We would like to mention that construction of the first mountain house in the ownership of mountaineering association has started in 1957 at Ozren mountain (Kraljica place). This house was finished in 1958. The number of association members has been increasing by years. There have been established contacts with mountaineering associations from other Republics within ex Yugoslavia. We had to find capacity to entertain and settle a great group of mountaineers, so in 70's we came with idea to construct bigger building at Ozren (Kraljica place). In 1982 it was opened a new comfortable mountain house with capacities of 50 beds. After one year the mountaineers constructed also small building at Konjuh mountain (Javorje place). Unfortunately, both mountain-houses have been demolished during aggression to Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the mountaineers of "Konjuh" had to start working again. In spring 2000 we started construction with only 300 KM (this is local currency which equal to 150 ) on our Bank account and inexhaustible energy of the mountaineers. With support of people of good will and people who love nature as well as volunteer work, it has been opened a new mountain house "Javorje" at Konjuh mountain in 2001. At the same time we have been constructing a mountain house at Vrsani. Currently we are working on repairing old mountain house at Kraljica.

Beside the construction of mountain houses, our association work on education of staff about the narrower mountain disciplines and forming sections. In 1956 it was organised a ski section and already in 1957 "Konjuh" got the first ski trainer. In January, 1960 at the Ozren mountain we organized trainings for ski instructors. In 1963 members of "Konjuh" mountaineer association participated at the training for winter guides organized at Prokletije mountain. By begging of 1976, when our association received many youth, we organised again trainings for high mountain guides, then speleologist and alpinist course, so after that we got many educated staff.

Thanks to this activity our staff achieved many noticeable results. Our member Mirza Todorovic was member of BH expedition to Tjen Shan, Svjetlana Todorovic won the first place of sport's climbing at the Yugoslav championship, and around 40 new members finished training and achieved title of speleologist beginner and speleologist.
Besides mountaineering on the mountains in ex Yugoslavia from Slovenia to Macedonia our members also have a great successes in conquering of a famous ice peaks all around the World, such as: Tjen Shan, Kilimanjaro, Mon Blan, Materhorn, Monte Roza, Gros Glokner. Some of the mentioned peaks our mountaineers conquered several times individually or as members of expeditions organised within former country. Certainly one of the most successful alpinist is Eduard Edo Pavlovic who conquered all peaks of Alps transversal and Kilimanjaro.

After aggression to Bosnia and Herzegovina, more exactly since 1996, members of MA "Konjuh" Tuzla again recovering work of the Association and mountaineering around Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of ex Yugoslavia and Europe.

Certainly the most successful expedition was organised in 1998 when the first time after aggression to BiH with very difficult after-war conditions our flag fluttered at the highest peak of Europe, Mon Blan. It was the first organised expedition of the Internationally accepted Bosnia and Herzegovina and trip in Europe. Members of this expedition were as follows: Ljubic Boris, Markelić Draga, Hodzić Adnan, Musić Atif and Leventić Muaz - members of MA "Konjuh" Tuzla; Piljić Ivica - member of MA from Banovici and Knez Zeljko - member of MA from Zenica

Already in 1999 we have organised trip for 48 of our members to Triglav mountain. In 2000, on the occasion of 200 years of the first climb to the highest peak of Austria, we organised climbing-trip to the Gros Glonker

Our come back to Europe, construction of a new mountain house, increased number of members within association, participation at all events organised by Mountaineering Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, brought us award to organise Really of Mountaineers of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2001, when we hosted over 1000 of mountaineers from entire country.

In 2002, beside regular activities (participation at events organised by Mountaineering Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, further repairing and construction of a new mountain house in Javorje and Vrsani) we organised climbing-trip to Olimp. In 2003 we had another great successes and challenges. In that period the flag of MA "Konjuh" fluttered in Italy during campaign of the Traces of volcano. Also, our flag was placed in 2004 in Bulgaria at the Balkan peak Musala, in 2005 in Spain at Pirineji, and in 2006 our two members Dragan Markelić and Adnan Hodzić, placed our flag at Kilimanjaro. In the meantime, thanks to progressive work of Association, and popularisation of mountaineering, taking into consideration all post-war successes of MA "Konjuh", the Mountaineering Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared MA "Konjuh" for the most active and most successive association in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In 2007, our four members: Markelić Draga, Hodzić Adnan, Koprić Sejfudin and Spahić Mevludin climbed to Ararat which is the highest peak of Turkey. So our members continued with further successes, promotion of mountaineering in Tuzla and Tuzla Canton.

MA Konjuh Tuzla is also specific because the structure of our members. We, literally, have members from 7 to 77 years of age, so all our excursions are adapted to all ages, from the high-hill mountaineering with the element of alpinism, to the light walking for older members. Also, we are permanently working on popularization our Association among youth members that we include at the schools of elementary mountaineering. We have founded the speleologist at the Mining-geological-civic engineering Faculty in Tuzla, Mountaineering section at the Professional Fire Brigade Tuzla, and we are planning to found the station of Mountain department for rescuing at our Association.
We think that our great treasures at the present time are multinational structure of our association as well as a different age of our members: elementary school pupil, students, pensioners, firemen, workers, university professors, lawyers, judges, ministers, PhDs. When we are at the mountains we are all merge into entirety , so exactly all our differences bring us together, and creativities and ideas each of our members become evident. Due to this facts we have been achieved such a great results and recognisable in our city. Around our board with photographs that placed at Tuzla down town Korzo, there are always many citizens that follow our activities. Very often we are guests at TV or radio stations due citizens like to see photos and hear stories we made at our trips. Within newspaper Tuzlanski List, we have mountain section as well.
Tuzla mayor and government of Tuzla Canton support all our expeditions as well as work of our association in general. It is difficult to list all successes and thousands members that went through our Association. It is the fact that MA "Konjuh" started to work in 1951 and its work is still improving, which can be proved with many successes and recognitions.
We wish that "Konjuh" remain a real city mountaineering association whose members will promote trips to the nature, especially animating youth to replace cafe bars with the walking on the mountains, cherish friendships and respect among themselves without looking at the ages, nation and titles. We would like to mention that many mountaineer members got married among them. There are many cases of such marriages, so now we have situation that whole families are mountaineering. What else can wish our association but such treasure

Our slogan is "let us go to the mountain, love each other, protect nature and respect people, we are all equal"
