Tour itinerary

Detailed description

We’ve created a unique tour through the heart of East Bosnia, showcasing some of its most remarkable, lesser-known treasures.

Kazani Gorges: A Hidden Gem of East Bosnia

Our first destination is the Kazani Gorges, an awe-inspiring natural formation carved by the Drina River. These gorges reveal the untamed beauty of East Bosnia, where crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs create a stunning landscape. Few visitors venture here, making it a true hidden gem, perfect for nature enthusiasts and those looking for a serene escape in East Bosnia.

Sand Pyramids of Foča: A Natural Wonder of East Bosnia

Next, we’ll visit the fascinating Sand Pyramids of Foča, one of East Bosnia’s most unusual natural landmarks. These striking formations, sculpted entirely from sand and clay, stand tall as a testament to the area’s geological history. Often compared to the famous pyramids of Utah, they are a rare sight in Europe and a reminder of the powerful forces of erosion that have shaped this region over millennia.

Foča: The Ottoman Legacy of East Bosnia

In the town of Foča, we’ll step back in time to explore its deep-rooted Ottoman heritage. The Aladža Mosque, a stunning example of 16th-century Islamic architecture, stands proudly after being lovingly restored. The town’s rich cultural history unfolds as you stroll by the Drina River, a lifeline for the people of East Bosnia for centuries. With its lush surroundings and tranquil waters, the Drina offers not only a scenic view but also a connection to the area’s vibrant past.

Goražde: A Symbol of Resilience in East Bosnia

Continuing our journey through East Bosnia, we arrive in Goražde, a town resilient in the face of hardship. Like Sarajevo, Goražde was besieged during the Bosnian War, but its spirit never wavered. Here, you’ll discover the bridge under a bridge, an engineering marvel that kept the town connected during the siege. You’ll also learn about the Drina Martyrs, brave men and women who fought to protect their homeland along the banks of the Drina River. Their stories of courage are woven into the very fabric of East Bosnia’s history, showing the enduring strength of its people.

With every stop, you’ll uncover more layers of East Bosnia’s rich heritage, from its natural wonders to its resilient communities, making this a journey of discovery like no other.

It was an excellent tour. Our guide Kenan took us to the exact points where we could enjoy the spot in the best way. He was a knowledgeable guide, and helped us with every issue throughout the day. It was a very informative and fun tour. I will definitely book another tour if I visit the country again. Totally recommended!
