The route

From start to finish,
drawn by hand.

Every journey is charted across Bosnia & Herzegovina with intention. A single line for a single week, and the slow cartography of a country best met unhurried.

Overview

A different kind of journey.

Four days through central Bosnia — the walled town of Jajce that sits above its own waterfall, the vizier's city of Travnik, and the hills where Ivo Andrić grew up, with a cheese tasting along the way.

The program

Day by day.

Evening in Jajce
Jajce

Sarajevo to Jajce

Scenic drive from Sarajevo through central Bosnia. Check in at a boutique guesthouse in the old town of Jajce. Evening walk to the waterfall that falls inside the town itself — a geology quirk that gave this place its importance for seven hundred years.

Jajce fortress & the lakes

Morning climb to the medieval fortress that crowns the town. The view from the top is the same one the last Bosnian king saw. Afternoon at the Plivsko lakes and the old watermills — a postcard-perfect set of twenty wooden huts on a river that has been turning them for centuries.

Travnik mosque and bazaar
Travnik

Travnik — the vizier's city

Drive to Travnik, the Ottoman capital of the Bosnia eyalet. We walk the old bazaar, visit the colorful mosque that is tiled unlike any other in the country, and climb to the fortress. Lunch at an inn in Dolac that has been serving travelers for two hundred years. This is the town Ivo Andrić grew up in — we read a page aloud from his Travnik Chronicle in the square where the vizier once held court.

Return road to Sarajevo
Sarajevo

Return to Sarajevo

Scenic return through the hills. We stop at a family farm on the way back for a cheese tasting — six varieties of Vlašić cheese with honey and walnuts. Arrive in Sarajevo mid-afternoon.
