Year after year Bosnia has been increasingly popular tourist destionation. It combines amazing nature, waterfalls, caves with original architecture. There are apparent traces of a war conflict here. However, it doesn't disturb one's experience. People shouldn't forget what happened. Our photogallery takes you to the capital of Sarajevo. However, in addition to that we include the beautiful town of Mostar, Kravica waterfalls, Blidinje nature park, and Jablanica. Also, we remember the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Approximately 25 kilometres southwest of Mostar is the town of Medjugorie, a town of more than 2,000 people, which until the 1980s was unknown to many. Everything changed on June 24, 1981, when the Virgin Mary appeared, transforming a simple town into one of the most important and most visited pilgrimage sites in the world.

Our journey in Bosnia and Hercegovina is coming to an end with the last day upon us. We plane to leave Sarajevo for Tuzla which is the site of the airport. Before taking off we want to refresh ourselves. The hottest day of our vacation is upon us. However, there is one more place close to Sarajevo which we want to see. This is the remains of once a bobsleigh track used for XIV Winter Olympis in 1984. Then the games took place in Yugoslavia. The trakc is located in the Trebevic mountain range southeast from Sarajevo on Jahorina mountain. The track was severely damaged during the war and mines were laid around. The remains of the track have been frequented by tourists lately. It is rather now a war memorial than a place which would be a memorial to the Olympics.

Upon our visit to Blidinje nature park and Jablanica town we drive on along E73 road to the northeast. Our goal is Bosnia and Hercegovina's capital Sarajevo. Once again we drive on the new section of the freeway. There are several exits to Sarajevo so don't take the first one hastily and wait for the one which directs you to the city center. Otherwise you could make your drive much longer.

After our visit to Hutovo Blato nature park and the town of Pocitelj, we follow the road to get closer to Mostar. However, we turn left near the town, ride for another 10 kilometers and follow brown tourist boards towards the town of Blagaj. The town was conquered by the Turkish in 1466. This heavily shaped the architectonic look of the town.
