We keep our way and learn about few bridges, including Seher-Cehaja and Latin bridge. Latin Bridge is World famous due to one unfortunate event that took place there, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

In afternoon we drive to Vrelo Bosne, a spring of the river of the same name and it is one of the most famous landmarks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located on the outskirts of Sarajevo, near Ilidza, below the slopes of mountains Igman and Bjelasnica. The spring of this river is certainly one of the most famous scenes of natural beauty in the region. It consists of several small islands, connected with bridges over numerous small streams.

Today we discover the Olympic mountains, where winter Olympic games were held back in 1984. First on our way is Trebević Mountain, connected to Sarajevo with a cable car, destroyed during the war in the 90's and completely renovated in 2018. We'll enjoy beautiful panoramic views from the mountain, while walking around the plateau. Trebević Mountain hosted sledding and bob sledding competitions during the Olympics, the ruins of the bob sleds can still be seen today. We continue our day to Bjelašnica Mountain, the highest part of the Dinaric Alps, located south of Sarajevo. Bjelašnica Mountain hosted the Alpine skiing competitions during the Olympics and is still a popular recreational center for the locals all year long. On our way back to Sarajevo, we make a stop in a small authentic Bosnian mountain village Umoljan. Overnight at hotel in Sarajevo
