The journey south begins as we leave Sarajevo behind, heading straight into Herzegovina’s rugged beauty. This isn’t just a transfer - it’s a ride through some of Bosnia’s most breathtaking landscapes, where every stop adds another layer to the story.

First up - Jablaničko Lake, an emerald expanse cradled by mountains. We’re not just stopping for the view - we’re stepping onto a traditional wooden raft, gliding across the still waters as the world slows down around us. As we float, we’ll enjoy a cup of authentic Bosnian coffee, served on the raft, taking in the silence, the scenery, and the moment.

Afterward, we continue deeper into Herzegovina to Kravice Waterfalls, where crystal-clear waters cascade into a turquoise basin, offering a perfect escape from the summer heat. Whether you want to swim, enjoy the view, or simply relax by the water, this spot feels like pure magic.

Next, we step back in time in Počitelj, a well-preserved Ottoman-era fortress town carved into the hillside. With its ancient stone walls, cobbled streets, and the dominating medieval tower, Počitelj feels like a movie set frozen in time. Climbing to the top rewards you with panoramic views of the Neretva River Valley, where history and nature collide in the most dramatic way.

By late afternoon, we head to Mostar, where we check into our hotel.

Mostar comes alive in the evening, and this is the perfect way to experience it beyond just a day trip

Day 4 - History’s reflection in the water: Blagaj & Mostar (Sleepover in Mostar)

We start the day with a scenic drive to Blagaj, a tranquil village where nature and history blend seamlessly.

It’s the perfect spot for stunning photographs and a moment of reflection on Mostar’s rich history.

We’ll continue our journey to Mostar’s Old Town, where we’ll step into the heart of the city’s charm and history. Our first stop will be Stari Most, the iconic Old Bridge that arches majestically over the Neretva River. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not only a symbol of resilience after its reconstruction, but it’s also a favorite spot for local divers who take the legendary plunge into the river. You’ll have the chance to witness this fearless tradition and even explore the Koski Mehmed-Pasha Mosque for a panoramic view of the bridge and the city.

After exploring the bridge, we’ll take some time to stroll through the Old Bazaar. The cobblestone streets, lined with stone houses and narrow alleyways, take you back in time, offering a glimpse of the city’s rich Ottoman heritage. You’ll find local crafts, souvenirs, and traditional Bosnian shops to explore.

After a full day of exploration, we check into our hotel in Mostar, where you can enjoy a leisurely evening just the way you please.

Day 5 - From stone streets to wild waters: Štrbački buk waterfall (Sleepover in Bihać)

Leaving Mostar’s sunlit alleys and iconic bridge behind, we embark on a journey north, trading Herzegovina’s warm Mediterranean air for the untamed wilderness of Krajina. But this isn’t just a transfer - this is a transition from stone to water, from history to nature, from bustling bazaars to the raw power of Bosnia’s most breathtaking waterfall.

The road takes us through changing landscapes, as the karst terrain of Herzegovina gives way to the rolling green hills of western Bosnia. And then, we arrive at Štrbački Buk, the crown jewel of Una National Park. With its thundering cascades, turquoise pools, and untouched surroundings, this 25-meter giant isn’t just a sight to see, it’s a force to feel. A short hike through the park leads us to prime viewing points, where we take a moment to absorb the energy of the Una River in its most powerful form.

After letting Una leave its mark, we continue towards Bihać, a city deeply connected to the river’s flow. Upon arrival, we check into our hotel, giving you time to relax and reset after the day’s journey.

As the evening sets in, Bihać reveals its quieter side - whether you prefer a riverside dinner, a peaceful walk along Una’s banks, or simply soaking in the crisp air of Bosnia’s wild north. Here, nature isn’t just a backdrop, it’s a way of life.

Tomorrow, we dive deeper into Bihać’s secrets - but for tonight, it’s time to let Una set the rhythm.

Day 6 - Hidden islands & fortress secrets: Japod islands, Ostrožac castle, Kostelski buk waterfall (Sleepover in Bihać)

Waking up in Bihać, we step into a day where nature, history, and pure tranquility come together in the heart of Krajina.

We start the morning at the Japodski Otoci, a hidden paradise where the Una River carves out a series of small, dreamy islands connected by wooden bridges. With untouched greenery, crystal-clear waters, and absolute serenity, this is the perfect place to slow down, walk the paths between the islands, or just sit by the water and let the rhythm of the river take over.

From nature’s sanctuary, we step into the past, heading towards Ostrožac Castle, one of the most majestic and mysterious fortresses in Bosnia.

This is the heart of nature, where century-old trees create the perfect escape, and the air is fresh with the scent of pine and earth. Take your time to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.

After soaking in the calm of Vrelo Bosne, we’ll return in style, taking a horse-drawn carriage ride back through the tree-lined avenue to the starting point. It’s a perfect way to unwind and reflect on the peacefulness of the spring before we continue our journey.

Next, we move to a place filled with history, the Tunnel of Hope, Sarajevo’s underground lifeline during the war. Walking through this historic passage, you’ll get a sense of the strength and resilience that allowed the city to stay connected with the outside world even during its darkest days. A powerful experience that ties the past to the present.

Day 9 - The sound of nature: Bijambare caves & Sarajevo ZOO

Today, we step off the beaten path and dive into Bosnia’s raw nature, where caves, forests, and wildlife tell stories older than the city itself.

First, we venture into Bijambare Nature Park, a pristine escape just outside Sarajevo, where dense pine forests, open meadows, and fresh mountain air create the perfect setting for an adventure. But the real magic lies beneath the surface, hidden deep underground in the Bijambare Caves. Walking through these ancient limestone chambers, you’ll feel the cool air, hear the echoes bounce off the walls, and witness the slow work of nature in jaw-dropping stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years.
