Last few pictures of Bosnia and Herzegovina (on the way to Croatia), we have really enjoyed our tour, people were very friendly, the roads were in a good condition and we had nice weather. We can only recommend the visit of this hidden gem in Balkan.
We arrived late afternoon at the oldest and biggest national park in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It’s home to the last virgin forest in Europe. You will find here also the highest peak in the country – Maglic Mountain (2386 m). Sutjeska is also familiar with the Battle of the Sutjeska...
We made a few stops on the way to Sutjeska National Park. The countryside of Bosnia and Herzegovina is amazing and we had really great sunny weather. We got also some good shots of our truck standing on the fields near friendly local cows – they really loved and enjoyed this shooting...
