Travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina


Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country with an amazing name (the origin of which can be read here). It keeps no less amazing things in itself and undoubtedly does not leave anyone indifferent. This is a country of contrasts, and after a little research I realized that the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirms this. The state, which was once under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and under Austria-Hungary, could not but absorb the features of both European and typically eastern. Now Bosnia and Herzegovina is a federal state that is inhabited by as many as three different people. Unfortunately, many, having heard the name of this beautiful country, wonder where is Bosnia and Herzegovina. I answer: this is a state located on the Balkan Peninsula, until 1992 it was part of Yugoslavia. Now it is an independent country, which consists of three parts: the Republika Srpska, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Brcko District. The first is inhabited mainly by Serbs, the second by Bosniaks and Croats, and the third by all three peoples.

Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is a rather big country, first you need to decide exactly which cities and parts you want to visit. This is the deciding factor in how to get to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Every time I think about my trip, I try to understand how it is more convenient to get to a particular city. Mostar is called the capital of southern Herzegovina. It is the second largest city in the country. The city boasts a rich history, reflected in the colorful appearance. The oldest district of the city of Kuyundzhiluk was heavily damaged during the civil war, but it still preserved ancient mosques, medieval structures, and cobbled streets. One of the main architectural monuments of Mostar is the Stari Most (“Old Bridge”), thrown across the Neretva River.

Ski resorts.
Partly Bosnia and Herzegovina is located on the mountain slopes, so there are also ski resorts here. For example, the resort "Jahorina", which is located 30 km from Sarajevo. The resort has a developed infrastructure and can offer lovers of alpine skiing a variety of routes, from easy to professional.

Solomon Islands To the east of the island of Guinea are the Solomon Islands, a group of more than one thousand islands. About eighty of them hold most of the population of more than a half a million. The island of  Guadalcanal  was the site of some of the fiercest fighting in World War II between Japan and the United States. Honiara, the capital city, is on Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands were a colony of Great Britain but gained independence in 1978. Colonialism, World War II, and ethnic conflict on the islands created serious centrifugal cultural forces, divisions, and political tensions over the past few decades. In 2003, military and police troops from other islands and Australia intervened to restore order after ethnic tension erupted into civil unrest. Shifting tectonic plates are the source of environmental problems. Active seismic activity has created earthquakes and tsunami conditions that have brought devastation to the region. An earthquake of 8.1 magnitud...

Estonia: attractions, cities, recreation

Holidays in Estonia are walks in the fresh air along the shores of the Baltic Sea, stay in modern spas and, of course, get acquainted with the sights of the cities of the republic. The main city of Estonia, attracting the attention of tourists, is its capital - the city of Tallinn. However, other localities, resorts and small towns, where a special spirit reigns, are of no less interest. There are only four major cities in Estonia: Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu and Narva. Their history goes back several centuries. The most important sights of Estonia are concentrated here - ancient castles, houses and city streets, museums, monuments of architecture and sculptural compositions that have survived from the Middle Ages. You should also pay attention to the suburbs, where you can also find a lot of beautiful places for recreation and cultural experiences.  Estonia can be proud not only of its cities with a long history, but also of beautiful nature. Local forests and lakes deserve specia...

Tristan Da Cunha

History Before Doomsday Tristan da Cunha was annexed to the UK in 1816, mainly to prevent any Bonapartists from using it to mount a rescue mission to free Napoleon from Saint Helena. Gradually a colony took shape there. It was not until World War II that Britain organised Tristan da Cunha's government, designating it a dependency of St. Helena. Between 1961 and 1963, the entire population was resettled in Calshot, near Southampton, England, following a volcanic eruption. When they returned home, they left behind a small Tristanian community. Doomsday Tristan da Cunha did not have any military bases, so it was not a target during World War III. Like the rest of The British overseas territories, it lost communication with London. For a while, however, it was able to maintain contact with St. Helena and the Falkland Islands. News of the Doomsday attacks was received with horror. The island's society may have looked the picture of rugged self-reliance, but all the adult...
