If the road takes you to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we highly recommend you to visit one of the most recognisable landmarks of our country – Spring of the Bosna River. Located on the outskirts of Sarajevo, alongside Ilidža, Spring of the Bosna River represents the true natural beauty of the region.
The area of the Spring of the river Bosna consists of several small islands connected by bridges over numerous smaller streams.

And why would you want to spend your summer day here?
For a start, the air temperature is several degrees lower compared to the center of Sarajevo. If that's not a reason enough to visit this ideal summer resort, you may be drawn to the idyllic image of swans swimming peacefully on the lakes or an idea of a carriage ride through beautiful nature as you are caressed by the breeze from the surrounding Igman Mountain.

After enjoying the waterfalls and springs of the river, head to the monastery of St. Elijah from 1289 or the wooden church dating from the 16th century. The exploration of Strika's cave, as well as the remains of the medieval town of Greben, will also be worth your time.
