Travnik perches in a green valley surrounded by gentle hills and centuries of history. Visitors often wander through the old town to see the colourful Ottoman-era houses, medieval fortress walls and twin clock towers. Along winding streets you pass ancient mosques and traditional Bosnian houses with carved wooden balconies, each marking Travnik’s role as the seat of the viziers.
At the heart of town lies the crystal-clear spring known as Plava Voda. Locals and visitors alike gather beside its cool waters to stroll along stone mills, dine at riverside cafés and feel the spray of the nearby waterfall. A short walk downstream brings you to that gentle cascade, where the pool at its base is perfect for a moment of rest and fresh mountain air.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, day trips to Vlašić Mountain are a natural choice. In summer you can hike through wildflower meadows and mountain pastures or tackle scenic biking trails. In winter the slopes become a playground for skiers and snowboarders. Wherever you go, you’ll find traditional shepherds’ huts offering local cheese tastings and warm hospitality.
