At the airport, collect your checked luggage and head to pick up your rental car - follow the instructions you received before your flight. Then, you're all set to head off on your adventure.

DON'T FORGET BEFORE YOU GO (2026)

• Download the Mapy.com app (formerly Mapy.cz) on your mobile. In the settings, go to the Offline maps section, select Bosnia and Herzegovina, and download it.
• If BiH still has its own currency, exchange your money at a bureau de change. Many entry fees can only be paid in cash.
• If BiH is still not in the EU, I recommend getting a data package for your mobile. You can do this in a few clicks within the Revolut app in the eSIM section. I also recommend Revolut for card payments, as it has a great exchange rate.

WHAT (NOT) TO PACK IN YOUR CARRY-ON

• If you only have carry-on (cabin) luggage, there are many things you cannot take inside—sharp and pointed objects, tools, flammables, etc. Liquids are limited to 100 ml, even though there are some airports that tolerate larger amounts. Check the current information for your specific airport.
• Conversely, you must not put electronics, power banks, batteries, e-cigarettes, etc., in checked luggage that goes into the cargo hold. You must take these in your carry-on luggage that you keep on board.
• You must not bring many types of food and other items from BiH into the EU. If you plan to transport anything, check the current restrictions.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION (2026)

• There is a radar in almost every village in BiH; whether it's functional is a question, but it's there. They are usually marked with a "radarska kontrola" (radar control) sign.
• The police are quite active and often hide.
• BiH does not have a well-developed motorway network, so travel between places is more time-consuming.
• Tolls on motorways are paid in cash or by card.
• I found the Mapy.com app effective for navigation. If it directs you to turn onto a strange road, try to keep going; our route always recalculated.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• You can do the activities in any order within one destination.
• You will encounter very few trash cans in BiH, so take everything you bring anywhere back with you.
• If you encounter stray dogs or puppies, stay calm, do not feed them, and do not unnecessarily lure them to you.
• Tourist signage is at a poor level. The reality often does not correspond to mobile maps. If you head onto trails outside the itinerary and the path starts to deteriorate (becomes overgrown, disappears), turn back immediately the same way you came.
• Current travel advice still warns of the risk of mines and unexploded ordnance. It is recommended to stick to main roads, marked trails, and avoid traveling off-road in remote areas. Such areas should be marked with signs, but we personally didn't come across any. However, be careful!

Stopping at an unsightly rest area isn't exactly ideal, but if you head down to the river, you'll have your first chance to enjoy the emerald Una River. The rest area is here. Don't expect a nice path, though—you'll need sturdy footwear. The second stop by the river at a rest area, where the access is a bit better since there are stairs, is roughly here. 

Bihać is a pleasant town in northwestern Bosnia that lives to the rhythm of the Una River. It flows right through the center, creating a peaceful riverside atmosphere and reminding you why this corner of Bosnia is so connected to water, nature, and water activities.

Bosanska Krupa is a picturesque small town stretching along the banks of the emerald Una River, which creates romantic islands, cascades, and a unique atmosphere here. Above the town towers the medieval Stari Grad fortress, from where a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape opens up. Walk across the iconic wooden bridge or relax on the Green Islands (Zeleni otoci).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026) 

• Admission to Stari Grad is free. 

Vrelo Krušnice is a karst spring near Bosanska Krupa, from which the crystal-clear Krušnica river flows. After a few kilometers, it flows into the emerald Una river.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• You can head to the spring via this route (there is a parking lot at point 2, but the road to it is better suited for SUVs and off-road vehicles) or there should also be a path along the river directly from Bosanska Krupa see Wikiloc. 
• This is a fishing spot. 
• There are several shelters with seating around the river.

Few places combine a medieval fortress, a romantic castle, and an open-air gallery quite like this. Originally a medieval stronghold mentioned as early as the 13th century, it has passed through the hands of Croatian nobility, the Ottoman Empire, and the Habsburg era, all of which is reflected in its unusual architecture. Today, a romantically decaying castle, massive walls, and a quiet park full of sculptures—which are constantly being worked on—stand side by side. The place feels like a living urbex site: a blend of history, abandoned sections, and a powerful atmosphere where you can literally 'read' the layers of time.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• The parking lot is located right by the castle and is accessible via a nice road.
• Admission is charged (5 KM/adult, 3 KM/child).
• Opening hours are every day from 9 AM to 7 PM.
• If you love urbex, I recommend bringing a headlamp and sturdy footwear, as there are cellars to explore.
• Drones are prohibited here.

If there is one place that symbolizes the beauty of the Una River, it is Štrbački buk. The tallest and most powerful waterfall in the national park drops from a height of approximately 24.5 meters into incredibly turquoise water, and you'll hear its roar before you even see it. Wooden viewing platforms allow you to admire this natural wonder from up close, and it is no coincidence that it is often called one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Balkans.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• There is a free parking lot a short distance from the waterfalls, accessible via a nice paved road.
• Admission to the waterfalls is charged. The price changes throughout the year - it is most expensive during the main season. You can only pay in cash! More information can be found on the official website.
• Drones are prohibited.
• Swimming near the waterfalls is forbidden.
• There is a lovely picnic area on the riverbank.
• If you're lucky, you might see rafting instructors jumping off the waterfalls or dropping rafts down them.
• If you're thinking about continuing along the marked trail towards Crno vrelo - don't do it; the trail disappears after 2 km and there is nothing to see along the way.
• You can stop for a swim somewhere on the way to the waterfalls. The water is icy cold.

ADRENALINE ALTERNATIVES

• It is possible to book white-water rafting. More information, including a list of agencies, can be found on the official website of Una National Park.

Martin Brod hides a huge complex of waterfalls, where turquoise water overcomes dozens of travertine steps to create fascinating scenery. Not far from the waterfalls, you will also discover a water mill and a unique 'bučnica' – a natural 'ecological washing machine' that locals used for centuries to wash laundry using the power of flowing water. This technical rarity is one of the symbols of Martin Brod and recalls a time when life here was determined by the river. Nature lovers should not miss the Unac River canyon, where the wild karst river has carved out a deep valley surrounded by steep cliffs and forests.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• You can find the route with views of the waterfalls, a small cave, a monastery, the canyon, and the bučnica here, but feel free to adjust it as you wish. You can also extend it with a walk along the Una River.
• Admission to the waterfalls is charged and can be paid in cash only. More information is available on the official website of Una National Park.
• Demonstrations of the bučnica and mill are charged. Don't expect a museum; it's a local resident who will take you onto their property. The price was 1 KM or €0.50 per person, cash only.

RESTAURANT TIP

• River Dock, a short distance from Bihać, with a beautiful setting by the river. You can find it here.

The medieval fortress of Sokolac is one of the region's most significant historical landmarks. Its history dates back at least to the 14th century, and for centuries, it guarded the entrance to the Una River valley. Due to its strategic location, it witnessed battles between Hungarian kings, local nobility, and the Ottoman Empire, which conquered the fortress along with Bihać in 1592. Today, Sokolac is a national cultural monument of BiH. The biggest draw is not just the fortress itself, but above all the breathtaking panoramic view of Bihać, the Una River valley, and the surrounding green hills.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Free parking is available just a short distance from the fortress. The approach road is quite steep and narrow, but it is a nice paved road. 
• Admission to the fortress was free. 

Plitvice Lakes are among the most beautiful natural spots in Europe. Sixteen turquoise lakes connected by dozens of waterfalls create a unique landscape that was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. Wooden walkways lead right above the surface of the crystal-clear lakes, allowing you to admire the fascinating play of colors that changes depending on the weather, sunlight, and mineral content in the water. Thanks to unique travertine barriers, nature is constantly creating new cascades and waterfalls here, so the landscape literally changes before your eyes. However, Plitvice hasn't just won over travelers. In the 1960s, the famous Winnetou films, based on Karl May's novels, were filmed here. It was these lakes, waterfalls, and wild nature that represented the cinematic Wild West, and some locations served as backdrops for the legendary Treasure of the Silver Lake.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• You will be crossing borders, so don't forget your passports! Pack only the essentials in your car and do not carry any prohibited food items (cold cuts, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, etc.). Expect that you will unfortunately be delayed there, and they may search your entire car.
• Access to the lakes is possible through two entrances. The itinerary includes parking and entry via the entrance marked as Ulaz 2/Entrance 2. You can find parking and the route to the entrance here, but it's well-marked so you can't get lost.
• I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance online on the official website. When purchasing tickets, you choose the entrance, i.e., Ulaz 2/Entrance 2. If you buy tickets for 9:00 AM, you have the right to enter the park between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. According to reviews, they won't let you in at a different time, so be careful not to arrive late. Tickets are also sold on-site, but if they are sold out, which happens often, you won't get in. Ticket prices vary depending on the season. You can find current information on the official website. We had tickets for 9:00 AM and arrived with nerves at 9:46 AM because we were searched at the border and there was also a long queue. We left our hotel at 7:30 AM.
• For safety, save your pre-purchased tickets to your phone (or print them out).
• At the entrance, they will ask you which route you have chosen - choose route H, which will guide you through the entire park, and you will cover the less interesting sections by bus and boat. Here is an overview of all routes. I also recommend route H because you won't be pushing through crowds of people the whole time.
• In the park, follow the signs for your chosen route. If you are doing route H, you will take the bus from entrance 2 towards Ciginovac lake. From the information center, follow this route to the pier. You will cross Lake Kozjak by boat and head from the pier towards Veliki Slap, and from there to the bus stop that will take you back to the starting point - route here. I recommend taking a detour from the route at least to Tomićevo pogledalo.
• Swimming and drones are prohibited here.

Not far from the former Željava military airbase stands an abandoned Douglas C-47B Dakota aircraft, one of the most famous transport planes of the 20th century. This type was developed as a military version of the legendary DC-3 airliner and served during World War II to transport troops, supplies, and paratroopers. Thanks to its reliability, it became a symbol of military aviation and earned the nickname "Dakota" in the British Royal Air Force. Weathered by wind, rain, and time, it creates an impressive backdrop that attracts photographers, history buffs, and aviation enthusiasts alike. At first glance, it serves as a reminder of the significant role aviation played in the 20th century and how quickly the fates of places that were once strictly guarded secrets can change.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Free admission. 
• The access road isn't ideal, but with a bit of caution, anyone can make it through. 

Željava Air Base, also known by the codename Object 505 (Klek), is one of Europe's most fascinating abandoned spots. It was the largest underground military airbase in the former Yugoslavia and one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Construction took place during the Cold War, roughly between the 1950s and 1960s. The massive complex was hidden deep within the Plješivica mountain massif and consisted of several kilometers of tunnels, hangars, and technical facilities. The underground areas could house dozens of MiG-21 fighter jets and were designed to withstand even a nuclear attack. 

The base served as a key element of Yugoslavia's air defense. In addition to the underground hangars, it featured 5 runways, a radar system, and its own self-sufficient infrastructure including water sources, electricity, and supplies for long-term operations. During the collapse of Yugoslavia between 1991 and 1992, the base was intentionally destroyed with a massive amount of explosives so it could no longer be used for military purposes. The consequences of the explosions that shook the surrounding area back then are still visible today. 

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Free entry. 
• The access road isn't ideal, but with a bit of caution, anyone can make it through. 
• If you want to explore the interior, bring a headlamp. There are two interconnected tunnels accessible. 
• People like to test their car's top speed on the runway, but you might run into a police patrol there. 

At the confluence of the Pliva lakes stand the picturesque wooden water mills - Mlinčići, which are among the most photographed places in BiH. For centuries, these traditional mills were powered by the force of water and served the local inhabitants for grinding grain. Today, they create a fairytale setting where water weaves between the wooden structures, reminiscent of a time when life was closely connected with nature.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Admission is free.
• Parking here is paid every day from 11 am to 7 pm. Payment is only possible with exact cash at the machine, which does not give change. If you're up for it, you can leave your car at the free parking lot by the Bridge of Love (Most ljubavi) and walk here around the lake.

The romantic Bridge of Love (Most ljubavi) connects the banks of the Small Pliva Lake and offers stunning views of the surrounding nature. According to local tradition, couples in love come here to symbolically seal their love and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of one of the most beautiful corners of Jajce. 

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Admission is free. 
• Parking here is free of charge. If you decide to walk to the watermills, the route around the lake is available here.

Right in the heart of the historic town of Jajce, the Pliva River flows into the Vrbas with an impressive waterfall about 20 meters high. It is one of the most famous natural symbols of BiH, and its power in contrast with the medieval town creates beautiful scenery. Interestingly, the waterfall used to be higher in the past – its current appearance is linked to damage in the 1990s, when part of the travertine structure collapsed and subsequent rescue and stabilization work took place. The site is therefore not only beautiful but also a fragile and living testament to the power of water, time, and history. 

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Parking and entry to the waterfall are subject to a fee. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, there are free viewpoints around the waterfall. Or you can skip the waterfall entirely. 
• This is a bonus stop if you have the time for it. 

Rama Lake is a turquoise gem in northern Herzegovina, surrounded by mountains. Even though it looks like a natural mountain lake, it was only created in 1968 after damming the Rama River. Its jagged shores, small islands, and the Šćit peninsula with its Franciscan monastery create one of the most photogenic landscapes in BiH. However, behind the lake's beauty lies the story of a flooded valley, which now rests silently beneath its surface.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Parking is free. 
• Don't miss the viewpoint see map. You can walk there from the parking lot or drive. You can park your car right there. 
• If you like swimming, jump right in.

Mostar lies in the Neretva river valley and is one of the most historically significant cities in Herzegovina. It grew around a bridge — and that bridge is what gave it its name. It developed mainly in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman border town, later bearing distinct marks of the Austro-Hungarian period. The name Mostar is linked to the word "mostari," meaning bridge keepers — UNESCO notes that the city's current name was documented as early as 1474.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Street parking near the cemetery is free. In the city center, you'll find parking touts who won't let you pass until you park in their lot. 
• I recommend wearing good shoes without heels. The cobblestones in the very heart of Mostar are difficult to walk on and very slippery. 

The Buna Channels are a beautiful natural stop where the Buna River meets the Neretva in an unusual way – over travertine thresholds and small cascades. Both rivers flow almost side-by-side here, creating a photogenic scene full of turquoise water, rocks, and greenery. The site is a protected natural monument and looks best when water levels are lower, revealing the channels in all their glory.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Admission is free.
• Parking is available by the road before the bridge.

Beneath a tall limestone cliff, a powerful karst spring of the Buna River gushes out, and right next to it stands a historic Ottoman-era Dervish Tekke. The white walls of the monastery, the turquoise water, the dark cave, and the massive rock formation create a scenery that blends nature, faith, and history.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026) 

• The place is very well-known and often recommended in guidebooks, but it didn't quite win me over personally. If you decide to go, I recommend parking here. During my visit, the parking was free. If you don't mind paying for parking, then I recommend this parking lot, which is away from the crowds but closest to the spring.
• The circular route from the parking lot to the viewpoint and back is here. Due to the large number of restaurants, it is difficult to find the path to the viewpoint of the spring - the source of the Buna. It is located behind them and is not marked in any way.
• Entry to the monastery is paid, and you must have decent clothing, i.e., covered shoulders and knees; for women, a covered head is also required. You must take off your shoes before entering. More information on the official website.
• Drones are prohibited.
• This is a bonus stop if you have time for it.

On the Fortica hill above Mostar, you'll find the Skywalk glass viewpoint, offering a stunning panoramic view of the entire city, the Neretva River, the Old Bridge, and the surrounding mountains. Walking on the transparent platform is short but intense—a perfect stop at sunset or a quick trip for one of the most beautiful views of Mostar. The area also features a zipline and other adventure activities.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026) 

• Free parking.
• Free admission. 

By the Neretva River in Jablanica, you'll find one of the most powerful memorial sites in BiH – the collapsed railway bridge, a symbol of the famous Battle of the Neretva, also known as the Battle for the Wounded. The original bridge was built back in 1888 during the Austro-Hungarian Empire as part of the Narentabahn narrow-gauge line. During the fighting in 1943, it was destroyed by order of Josip Broz Tito as part of a tactical ruse to confuse the enemy regarding the movement of partisans and the wounded. Subsequently, the partisans built a makeshift wooden bridge in just one day, through which they managed to evacuate thousands of wounded, sick, and civilians. It is estimated that around 100,000 people crossed it. 

The atmosphere of the place is complemented by the remains of the narrow-gauge railway and a historic Class 73 locomotive, built in 1913 by the Krauss factory in Linz, Austria. Together with the collapsed bridge, a museum, a bunker, and a memorial area, it forms an authentic site that commemorates one of the most dramatic chapters of World War II in the Balkans.

The collapsed bridge in Jablanica is not only a powerful symbol of the Battle of the Neretva but also a place with an incredible film story. The famous Yugoslav blockbuster The Battle of the Neretva, nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, was filmed right here, featuring international stars like Yul Brynner and Orson Welles. For the film, the bridge was torn down again in 1968 to create the most authentic destruction scene possible. However, the actual footage couldn't be used—the explosion was hidden by thick dust and smoke. The famous film scene was therefore, according to film sources, re-shot using a model in a Czechoslovak studio. Today, you stand on a spot where real war history, film legend, and the slightly absurd magic of grand cinematography meet.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Parking is free for museum visitors.
• If you are staying directly in Jablanica, you can easily walk here. 

Not far from Konjic lies one of the most remarkable Cold War relics in Europe – Tito's Bunker, officially ARK D-0 (Army War Command). At first glance, you'd barely notice it from the outside: the entrances are disguised as ordinary houses, while behind them lay an extensive underground complex designed for the event of a nuclear war.

The bunker was built in strict secrecy over 26 years (1953-1979). Workers were brought in blindfolded from across Yugoslavia, and each only built a specific section so that no one knew the layout of the entire complex. It was one of the most expensive military projects in former Yugoslavia, with construction costs estimated at approximately 4.6 billion dollars. Its purpose was to protect Josip Broz Tito, his family, and about 350 members of Yugoslavia's political and military leadership, who were meant to be able to survive here for up to 6 months without contact with the outside world.

Inside, you will find over 100 rooms across 12 interconnected blocks: command halls, a communication center, offices, bedrooms, a kitchen, a hospital area, technical facilities, and private quarters meant for Tito. The complex had its own water and fuel reserves, a ventilation system, and backup technical systems. According to visitor information, its lowest point is roughly 280 meters underground, and the area exceeds 6,500 m².

The existence of the facility remained a secret until the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Since 2011, the bunker has been open to the public via guided tours and also functions as an unusual combination of a military museum and a space for contemporary art as part of the D-0 ARK Underground project.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026) 

• Visits are only possible with a guide in Bosnian or English at set times – you need to catch the first tour of the day (9:00 AM) to fit it into your further schedule.
• Booking tickets in advance on the official website is highly recommended. Payment on-site is possible in cash (KM) or by card. 
• They take a photo of your ID or passport during your visit. 
• The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes.
• Photography is allowed inside, but video recording is prohibited.
• Parking is available directly in front of the military area here. The access road is in good condition. 
• The entrance fee is quite high, and the overall experience may not meet every visitor's expectations. If the Cold War topic doesn't interest you, you can skip the bunker and head straight to Blidinje Nature Park.

Blidinje Nature Park is a wild mountain gem of Herzegovina, tucked away between the Čvrsnica and Vran massifs. You'll find Blidinje Lake, vast meadows, karst landscapes, fresh mountain air, and medieval stećci tombstones inscribed on the UNESCO list.

The entire Blidinje area has been a protected nature park since 1995 and is famous not only for its lake but also for mountain trails, cycling routes, skiing, rich nature, and views. Online sources state that the park offers over 200 km of hiking trails. Choose the one that suits you best - more at the official website of the nature park.  

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Admission is free. 
• It's a biker's paradise.
• I recommend a stop at the rest area near Sovićka Vrata here - there's a magnificent view. 
• We didn't have much time, so we only did the loop trail in Masna Luka see here. But you should be able to hike from there to the iconic mountain with the arch Hajdučka vrata. 

The turquoise surface winds between the hills, creating a beautiful contrast to the surrounding mountain landscape. The lake was formed on the Neretva River and today it invites you to relax, enjoy the views, take photos, or just stop by the water.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Free parking right by the lake shore is here. 
• There is seating and a beach, but the water wasn't exactly the cleanest. 
• The attached photos were taken just a few minutes apart. 

The Olympic ski jumps on Igman are among the most powerful spots near Sarajevo. In 1984, the world's best jumpers competed here, and the Malo Polje area was watched by tens of thousands of spectators. Today, monumental concrete structures remain, along with the former podiums and the strange silence of a place that has not only Olympic glory behind it but also a dark wartime chapter—the area near the podiums was used as an execution site during the war. Visitors can go all the way up to the giant ski jump and see for themselves how steep the inrun was that athletes had to descend before launching themselves into the void. Only from this perspective does one truly grasp the courage, madness, and beauty of ski jumping.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• A short circular route with free parking is here. We climbed back to the car normally across the meadow. 
• The parking lot right at the jump is paid. 

AT YOUR OWN RISK - Hotel Igman is one of the most striking reminders of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. The monumental mountain structure was built in the early 80s as part of the Olympic facilities on Mount Igman and served during the games as Olympic accommodation for athletes and journalists associated with the Nordic disciplines. After the Olympics, the hotel was intended to continue operating as a prestigious mountain resort.

Today, however, it feels completely different. All that remains of the former symbol of Olympic energy is an abandoned concrete skeleton in the middle of the mountains, scarred by time and the war in Bosnia. During the 90s, the hotel was severely damaged and, according to available sources, also served at one stage of the war as a detention center. That is precisely why the place has such a strong, even unsettling atmosphere – it is not just an abandoned hotel, but a building where several layers of Bosnian history are concentrated: Olympic euphoria, the collapse of Yugoslavia, war, and long years of decay.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Free entry.
• I recommend wearing sturdy shoes; a headlamp might also come in handy.
• This is urbex, so caution is absolutely necessary.

One of the most beautiful hikes in the Bjelašnica region starts from the mountain village of Umoljani. The trail passes through the Gradina settlement, where you'll look at the locals' homes with immense gratitude for your own, then continues through a landscape of pastures and open vistas toward Studeni Potok (Cold Creek), whose meandering path creates one of the most photogenic sceneries in the entire area in the valley below. This is where the gentler face of the Bosnian mountains reveals itself – the silence, wide meadows, grazing herds, and a landscape that feels almost frozen in time. For those craving a longer mountain experience, you can continue all the way to Lukomir, the highest permanently inhabited village in BiH, located at an altitude of over 1,400 meters above sea level.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• The access road is only wide enough for one car, but it's a nice asphalt road with pull-offs for passing. 
• The beautiful loop trail through the settlement and mountain meadows with stunning views can be found here. The route is 6.7 km long with an elevation gain of 260 m. 
• The path on Mapy.com doesn't quite match reality - from Gradina, continue towards Lukomir via Studeni Potok on the wider path. If you don't, no big deal; you'll still reach the destination using the other path, you'll just have to walk down the meadow toward the creek, which you'll see below you in the beautiful valley. 
• If you want to visit Lukomir as well, you'll follow the same route, just walk a bit further, see here. The route is approx. 16 km long with an elevation gain of approx. 560 m. An alternative is the route over Mount Obalj. 
• If the parking lot is full, you can park in Umoljani near the mosque. 

Rising above the town of Visoko is Visočica Hill, known as the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun – one of the most debated spots in BiH. Since 2005, it has been linked to the theory that it’s not just an ordinary hill but an ancient pyramid, which draws mystery lovers, fans of alternative history, and curious travelers to Visoko. However, most experts do not accept this interpretation and consider Visočica a natural geological formation. At the same time, the top of the hill holds the site's true historical layer – the remains of the medieval Visoki fortress, which was an important location in the 14th century. Thanks to its position high above the valley, it held strategic importance and still offers beautiful views of the town of Visoko and the surrounding landscape. 

RESTAURANT TIP (2026)

• You'll find excellent food and great service at Old Town right by the Pyramid of the Sun.    

Ravne Tunnels are among the most impressive parts of the Visoko complex. Visitors enter an underground labyrinth of tunnels that the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Foundation presents as part of an extensive system connected to the pyramids, as well as a powerful energy site. 

Inside, there is a stable microclimate, humidity, silence, and a unique atmosphere that makes the place feel completely different from the surrounding landscape. The tunnels are gradually being cleared and secured with wooden supports, making a walk through them an encounter with mystery, geology, and an alternative interpretation of history. 

Today, the Ravne tunnels are not just a tourist attraction, but also a place that many visitors perceive as a space of peace, energy, and an extraordinary experience. Whether you come as a skeptic or a mystery lover, Ravne offers a journey underground where facts, hypotheses, and imagination blend into one very unconventional story.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION (2026)

• Parking is free. 
• There is an entrance fee for the tunnels. You can go with a guide or on your own. If you want to go without a guide, ask at the ticket office for the Meditation Tour, which is significantly cheaper.
• You will be given a helmet at the entrance. 
• The tunnels are lit, but I recommend bringing a flashlight.

Return the car with a full tank to the rental agency and head home.
