What Will You See
The city of Sarajevo was founded on the crossroads of East and West, of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, of Christianity and Islam, of Austrian boulevards and Ottoman shops, of modern skyscrapers and European squares.
The valley of the Drina is the principal traffic artery in the south-eastern region of Bosnia. Since old times it has been part of the important route going from the sea inland, (Dubrovnik – Trebinje – Gacko – Foča – the Drina valley).
The breathtaking Tara, Piva and Komarnica river canyons are places that must be visited, as well as the Susica and Vrbnica River and glacier lakes: Skrcko, Susicko, Trnovacko and two Stabanjska lakes. Despite being artificial, Piva Lake is the jewel of the region, stretching 45km. The Serbian orthodox Monastery of Ostrog is the most frequent visited one on the Balkans. It is visited by believers from all parts of the world, either individually or in groups.
With the area ranging from 370 to 530 square kilometers, Skadar Lake is the biggest lake in the Balkans. Due to its geographic position and sub Mediterranean climate, it is one of the most important habitats of swamp birds in Europe.
