Itinerary

Jajce

Once a royal city, Jajce has transformed into an open-air museum boasting an impressive collection of 29 national monuments. At its heart lies the magnificent 21-meter-tall Jajce Waterfall, proudly ranked among the world's 12 most beautiful waterfalls (according to locals). Prepare to be awe-struck by this natural wonder as the water falls with majestic splendor. Enter into the Catacomb, an underground church with a fascinating history, visit the Bear Tower, and see the church where the last Bosnian king was crowned. In addition, Jajce features a museum devoted to the fight against Nazism, which makes it a particularly engaging site.

Travnik

Our journey begins with a visit to the delightful town of Travnik, often hailed as both a living museum and a haven for food enthusiasts (Travnik ćevapi). Notably, it is the birthplace of the renowned Yugoslav novelist and Nobel Prize laureate, Ivo Andrić. While wandering through the cobblestone streets of Travnik, you will come upon the captivating Fourth Stari Grad (Old Town), an impeccably preserved relic from medieval Bosnia, significantly influenced by the Ottoman era. As you delve into the depths of this historical gem, you'll swiftly realize why Travnik stands as a living testament to the intricate history of Bosnia. Beneath the fortress lies a hidden treasure—a blue water spring, offering crystal-clear, drinkable water. The river's unique character is mirrored in the charming shops lining its banks. Among the mosques dotting the Bosnian landscape, the Colorful Mosque in Travnik stands out as a genuine marvel. Even locals find themselves irresistibly drawn to its exquisite floral ornamentation and the minaret placed on the "unconventional" side.

Pliva lake

Just a mere five kilometers away from Jajce, Pliva Lake was born from the transformation of the Pliva River's course, also serving as a vital hydro-energy source. The lake is a haven for birdwatchers, offering sightings of herons, kingfishers, and graceful swans. Kayakers are especially fond of Pliva Lake due to its serene, flat waters—an ideal destination for paddling enthusiasts. OPTIONAL: Those interested in seeing the lake from a new angle might take a brief boat excursion.

Pliva Watermills

And just when you think our tour couldn't get any better, we'll lead you to the Pliva Watermills. This enchanting location feels straight out of a fairy tale, offering a perfect setting for capturing unforgettable memories through your camera lens. The Watermills are a one-of-a-kind piece of history built during the Austro-Hungarian period, perfectly fitted in the natural environment. Today, a few of these watermills still continue to grind grain using power of water.

Howdy! This blog post couldn’t be written any better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I will send this information to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing! https://taiapptk88.com/

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not fail me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I truly believed you would have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you weren't too busy searching for attention.

More people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you are not more popular given that you certainly have the gift.
