The capital of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Sarajevo, is a cosmopolitan European capital with a unique Eastern twist. The city is historically famous for its traditional religious diversity and has been both an example of historical turbulence and the clash of civilizations. Surrounded by endless hills and mountains, the city seems to be isolated creating a timeless atmosphere. A walk-through Sarajevo is a walk through the Byzantine and Ottoman empires of the east and the Roman, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian empires of the west that left a magical mark in culture, traditions and religions. The waterfalls and the Bosna River Spring are favourite places of visitors.
Vrelo Bosne
Vrelo Bosne is an exceptional park, crisscrossed with many streams creating ponds and islands and representing a geological, hydrologic and horticultural phenomenon. The most beautiful is the very spring of the river Bosna, which flows from several strong karst springs at the altitude of 492 meters.
Mount Igman
This region has specific ecological and climate conditions as well as wildlife, and there is even a small area with rainforest characteristics. Lillium Bosniacum – Bosnian Lilly is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian endemic species which grows on Igman, a mountain also rich in hunting grounds. Igman is always interesting, not only during the winter. With its lush vegetation it is a real “air spa” just outside the city. From spring to late autumn, Igman is the best place for walks, hiking, mountaineering and cycling; in general, this mountain is ideal for those who love untouched nature.
