If you have been wondering what is the medieval heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in this tour we will cast aside your doubts by visiting Tusila where you will be able to see stećci.
The stećak – tombstones are medieval monolithic stone monuments related to the entire territory of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as parts of Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia. Based on the available data, it can be confirmed that they may occur from the other halves of XII. that the first phase lasts through XIII. century, to intensely kneel and decorate in the XIV. and XV. century. In the sixteenth century, this kind of art gradually disappeared.
They are now part of the UNESCO heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After exploring the tombstones, we are heading to a place perfect for taking amazing photos. It is a breathtaking spot where you will see the transition from Bosnia to Herzegovina, rise from 200 meters above sea level up to 1200 meters above sea level and the Mediterranean trees change into the continental trees.
We will be making several other spots for photo taking.
Our last stop will be mountain Bjelasnica. It is the highest part of the Dinaric Mountains and is considered to be the most beautiful Olympic Mountain in Sarajevo. There you will see the sky centre, still the best one in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and hear the story of the Winter Olympic Games that took place in Sarajevo in 1984. In a beautiful mountain house, we can enjoy hot tea.
