On Tour through Bosnia & Herzegovina

Für deutsche Übersetzung bitte scrollen:


Dear all, it has been three weeks now since my last post.... Time flies when you have a good time :) I have mentioned in my last post that I am off on vacation, and with 6 (!!) days delay we have started our journey as our car has surprisingly let us down...:(

Here are some impressions of our trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina, which was fun and different from all our vacations before- we decided to explore the region of Sarajevo (where we had accommodation),  the mountains Bjelašnica and Igman, Ilidža, Bijambarethe valley of Studeno Polje and the village Umoljani. No sea, no sunbathing (at least not in the "classic" sense, we enjoyed 2 days at the thermal spring Ilidža, however) this time. On our programme: sightseeing, historical places and natural beauties of Bosnia in its most rough but also most beautiful forms. And EXCELLENT Food :)



Es sind schon schon drei Wochen vergangen, seit meinem letzten Blog-Post.... Wie die Zeit vergeht, wenn man eine gute Zeit hat! :) In meinem letzten Post habe ich ja erwähnt, dass ich dann mal weg bin, wir sind jedoch erst mit 6 (!!) Tagen Verspätung unsere Reise angetreten, denn unser Auto hat uns überraschenderweise in Stich gelassen! *grummel*

Hier sind einige Impressionen von unserer Reise nach Bosnien und Herzegowina, die sehr viel Spaß machte! Wir haben beschlossen, die Region von Sarajevo (wo wir unsere Unterkunft hatten), die Berge Bjelašnica und Igman, Ilidža, das Naturschutzgebiet Bijambare, das Tal von Studeno Polje zu erkunden und auch das Dorf Umoljani. Kein Meer diesmal, kein Sonnenbad (zumindest nicht im "klassischen" Sinn, wir haben jedoch 2 sehr nette Tage in der Therme Ilidža verbracht). Auf dem Programm dieses Jahr: Stadtbesichtigungen und die Naturschönheiten von Bosnien in seinen rauhen, aber auch schönsten Formen zu erkunden und zu erleben. Und nicht zu vergessen:  AUSGEZEICHNETES Essen!




Prošle su već tri sedmice od mog zadnjeg blog posta. Vrijeme baš leti... Nažalost na odmor nismo krenuli kako smo planirali, kerenuli smo s čak 6 dana zakašnjenja na put jer je naš auto u baš najnezgodnijem trenutku odlučio da "štrajka"! Kako smo se iznervirali ne mogu vam opisati... Bukvalno smo sjedili na spakiranim koferima punih 6 dana, jer i u radionici nisu baš bili najbrži, da ne kažem spori kao puževi!:(  Ipak, eto, krenuli smo, i bilo nam je prelijepo.  Nismo ove godine otišli na more, ali smo maksimalno uživali u dijelom još nedirnutoj prirodi Bosne i Hercegovine! Smješteni u Sarajevu smo krenuli u istraživanje i obilazak: Bjelašnica i Igman, Ilidža, Bijambare, dolina Studenog Polja, selo Umoljani su bili na programu.


Neću duljiti, evo nekoliko sličica... Nije ništa spektakularno, znam, slike vjerovatno odišu mirom, i baš takav nam je bio i odmor. Pustili smo "mozak na pašu" i zaboravili sav stres koji nas svakodnevno prati... I punili baterije. Odlučili smo istražiti područje Sarajeva (gdje smo imali smještaj),  Bjelašnicu i Igman, Ilidžu, prirodni rezervat Bijambare, dolinu Studenog Polja, selo Umoljani. Ovaj put nije bilo mora, sunčanja (barem ne u "klasičnom" smislu, ali smo proveli dva vrlo lijepa dana u toplicama Ilidža ;). Doživjeli smo  prirodne ljepote Bosne u njenoj grubom i za mene najljepšem obliku. I da ne zaboravim: ni naša nepca niti stomaci nisu bila zapostavljena- naprotiv ;)

  3. Draga Tanja vidi se da si na odmoru uživala svojom dušom, povratkom u kraj koji voliš!
    Divne fotografije prekrasnog Sarajeva i oklolice, iskreno sam uživala u njima.

  5. Prelepo!!!! Ja ne mogu naći adekvatne reči da opišem ove divne slike, Sarajevo, specijalitete, prirodu, ma sve je savršeno. Vidim da ste se lepo proveli.

    Ovo prvo jelo/desert 'šljivopita' mi super izgleda. Prvi put za nju čujem, a pošto obožavam naše deserte sa šljivama, moram pronaći recept i probati dok je voće još u sezoni.

    A restoran 'Kibe' mi super izgleda, vrlo ethno, al' opet otmeno i sa stilom.

    Pozdrav!

  22. I loved this post Tanja! I loved seeing Sarajevo like this! It made my heart smile! :-) I have been to Croatia and Slovenia when they were still called Yugoslavia (it was 1982...... a lifetime ago) and though I was very very small then, I still have the most beautiful memories! Great photos and amazing food!
