Kljuc

by canuckmike

For the average tourist this city would be off the beaten path. It is a quaint little city that is being developed nicely. The main street is filled with bars, restaurants and various little stores. The surrounding area is quite nice especially if ignore the garbage piles. Kljuc is located in the Northwestren part of Bosnia near the internal border seperating the Croat-Muslim Federation from the Republic of Srpska.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Off the Beaten Path

by canuckmike

On the mountain that is overlooking the city of Kljuc are the ruins of an old castle. There is a good path up to the ruins from the town and it is safe to walk around the ruins. These are not the best ruins in the world but it still is quite interesting and it offers good views of the surrounding area.

Ostrozac castle walls

by dabuwan

The Ostrozac castle is located in the municipality of Cazin, about half way between Velika Kladusa and Bihac.
It is an impressive, huge, castle complex that dates back to the 16th century, just before the Turks invasion. The outer walls are more than 2 mt thick.

Main castle house

by dabuwan

Though partially in ruins, the castle is open for visitors and there is a guard who sells entrance tickets for 1KM (=0.5 E).
I was the only visitor, but the castle is a popular place for young local couples looking for a bit of privacy...
The large inner garden is decorated with modern stone statues.
The main castle house is open and it is in a wonderful position, overlooking the Una river valley.

	Sarajevo to Goradze Tip Rating:

Me at the pass between
Renovica and Goradze

by dabuwan

The shortest road from Sarajevo to Goradze passes through some wild mountain sceneries.
At the pass between Renovica and Goradze there is a monument to celebrate war victims. Views are breathtaking and you'll meet many UN soldiers. It's more than 1000 mt above sea level here, and it may be cold all year round.
There are just a few small villages and the number of graveyards along the way is impressive.

	Chocolate Lakes Tip Rating:

Maybe Nestle will buy this one

by american_tourister

Because of the industrial and sewage plans from the prior communist regime, this country has many bodies of dead water. There are sinkholes, lakes, and ponds that have no life in them at all beacuse of pollution and runoff. We ( the Americans) call them the "Chocolate Lakes."

	Check out the culture and scars left after the war Tip Rating:

On the Frontline in
Mostar.

by tylercdurden2004

Really Bosnia is off the beaten path and many people miss out on it. Simply put most people I meet view Bosnia as a dangerous place, but those who have been there know this is simply no truer than other places. Yes there are some precautions such as watching out for landmines and unexploded ordinance (bombs) but a little common sense goes a long way here. Really Bosnia is a whole lot more than just a war torn country but it presents a great opportunity to see and learn a little about how destructive war really is, certainly not what you see or hear on the news. Bosnia has a rich history and a variety of cultural influences which really to me make this an exciting place where I think most people would be hard pressed to find boredom as a companion.

	Vrelo Bosne (Ilidza, close to... Tip Rating:

By Marcin75 on September 8, 2002

Bosnia and Herzegovina Page by Marcin75

Vrelo Bosne (Ilidza, close to Sarajevo) - the name means 'source of Bosnia' and it is - the place where River Bosna begins. Very picturesque complex of small ponds, running streams and some stylish cafes in a park. Great place for a half day trip from Sarajevo. How to get there? Take a tram from Sarajevo to Ilidza, walk across the bridge on Zeljeznica River, turn left, pass the Terme Hotel and hot springs on your right and turn left the long platane alley that leads straight to Vrelo Bosne - about 2 kms.

	Sarajevo-Konjic... Tip Rating:

by Marcin75

Sarajevo-Konjic Railroad
Absolutely a must. The train ride takes only one and half hour one way and you will not regret it. The route is 67 kms long, there are 58 tunnels and numerous bridges on the way. The most incredible railroad I have seen climbs up the mountains in serpentines - sometimes you can see track on four different levels! The price for that pleasure is low - less then 4 KM. It is absolutely worth it!

	Travnik - old capital of... Tip Rating:

By Marcin75 on September 8, 2002

Bosnia and Herzegovina Page by Marcin75

by Marcin75

Travnik - old capital of Bosnia is still worth visiting, not only because it is a birthplace of Ivo Andric, famous writer and the Nobel prize winner. It is a beautifully located town with myriad of mosques, old castle, scenic streets and even a hiking trial to the Vlasic Planine - huge mountain above the town. Historic monuments of the town include 'The painted mosque' - beautiful and very important for the Muslims. Medieval fortress crowns the hill above the centre. Neo-Moorish style islamic school welcomes you when you enter Travnik from Vitez direction. All of that is nicely illuminated in the night.
Other interesting things: a huge complex of Jesuit school and church, house of Ivo Andric (now: very good restaurant Divan) and franciscan monastery in nearby Guca Gora.

Travnik is served by numerous bus companies from Sarajevo (1h40min), Zenica (40 minutes), Mostar, Bugojno, Banja Luka and Zagreb.
