Day 1: Olympic Experience and the War Road from Sarajevo

On your first day, you’ll stare into the distance and study the day’s path from Sarajevo to Igman and Bjelašnica Mountain, the site of the men's downhill and ski jump during the 1984 Olympic Winter Games. From Sarajevo, you climb through the thick pine wood forests of Igman mnt following ‘’Igman war route’’. After Igman, crossing the open rocky plains and peaks of Bjelasnica mountains, you head up to Tusila village & Vrela Mountain Hut. Once you’re there, you have arrived in the heart of the Dinaric Alps. By the time you arrive at your lodge, the sun will have begun to set in a crisp, clear sky and well-deserved dinner and sleep.

Info about an optional continuation of the trip, from Mostar to Dubrovnik

Cycling Narrow gauge railway in Herzegovina to Dubrovnik regions was built in the early 20th century and connected Mostar with Dubrovnik and Konavle in Croatia. The first ‘’Ćiro’’ passed this railway on 15th July 1901. As the railway was abolished in the 70's idea of revitalising it as a biking trail that connects two different cross-border regions as a unique tourism offer showed as a clear historical and cultural identity decision.
