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.

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...

Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination for lovers of impeccability in everything. The best ski resorts of the Alps, impeccable service in high-class hotels and an excellent "excursion" in ancient cities and castles. Someone Switzerland may seem boring, someone - too expensive, but someone will find there the most charming castles in the world, and the other - the best routes of the Alps. And everyone will be right in their own way. So it is not surprising that the ski resorts in Switzerland are divided into two categories: for billionaires and millionaires. Let this be a clear exaggeration, but there is a bit of truth in it: the prestige factor is the main tourist trump card implying tangible financial costs. However, the direction has a lot of other advantages: licked tracks for every taste, the best mountain hotels in the world and a whole mass of historical sights, mostly castles. Of the minuses, it is possible to distinguish all the same high cost ... however, as you k...

Gediminas castle

All Lithuanians know a legend about establishment of Vilnius city. It was the beginning of 14th century when Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas stopped for an overnight near confluence of Neris and Vilnele rivers. That night he dreamt an iron wolf howling on a hill. In the morning his soothsayer Lizdeika explained his dream as a sign for him to build here a city as it will become a well known and widely resounded in all over the World. Gediminas ordered to pour a mound at the same place he slept. On the hill there a castle was built, the predecessor for the nowadays Gediminas castle. According to archeological researches, the hill where Gediminas castle stands nowadays was already inhabited in a Neolithic period. In 11-13th centuries a wooden castle here stood. The same as Vilnius city, it was mentioned in 1323 for the first time. For more than 250 years since 1315, when a dynasty of Gediminaičiai ruled the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the complex of Vilnius castl...
