Vrelo Bosne — Attraction in Ilidža Municipality

Source of the Bosna River

At a distance of 15 km from the center of #Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the foot of Mount Igman, there is #VreloBosne, which is a unique protected nature park. It covers 603 hectares of fenced and landscaped area - there are benches for sitting, covered rest areas, a playground for children, and in the central part of the complex there is also a restaurant where the specialty is freshly caught river trout. The Bosna River rises at an altitude of 492 meters above sea level, from several strong sources, and as it is of excellent quality, it is also used for Sarajevo's city water supply. A few swans and ducks swimming in the ponds that were formed on the expansion of spring streams, as well as a few waterfalls hint that you are not looking at a photo - what you see is so perfect, that for a moment you think you are looking at a picture frozen in time. The best way to get to Vrelo Bosne is through the Great Alley, a beautiful promenade about 3.5 kilometers long, lined with approximately 3,000 chestnut and sycamore trees over a hundred years old.

Short drive from Sarajevo city, spend two hours into this lovely park The first obstacle is the parking personnel who forces us to pay 5 BAM for a full day parking; while we kept insisting that we need only an hour inside the park. Long story short, we end up paying 5 BAM for him, Just because!! Note that the parking management is separated for the park management … 👍🏽nice staff at the entry gate, who by the way were surprised about what happens to us and they were upset as much as we were, their welcoming approach to us made us less frustrated and focused into enjoying the place 👍🏽calm and quiet reservation 👍🏽plenty of wooden benches 👍🏽soothing water streams and you can enjoy the swans and the ducks if you are lucky 👍🏽restaurant is available 👍🏽good walking paths and over the river bridges

… 👎 the facilities needed serious service and taking care of 👎the farther side of the reservation was less taken care of …

I would recommend this reservation/park as it only costs 2 BAM/person; if you are not to clash with parking officer 🥲and go with flow when it comes on how much you are willing to pay if you are staying for less...
