About this experience

The mountains are calling and we must go! Follow us to the Olympic mountain Trecević and enjoy the delicious picnic lunch at the top of the mountain! We will have around 10 kilometers of cycling on an asphalt road which was a frontline during the war which happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992-1995. We can have a look at the Sniper Alley from above! After that, we will have 4 kilometers of gravel road and we will reach the top of the mountain. Then we will decide which one of the trails is the best option for us from here. Trails are 3-7 kilometers long. After trails, we will head to the abandoned bobsleigh track from the 1984 Olympic Games. This is one of the few bobsleigh tracks where you can actually ride a bike! After riding down the bobsleigh track, we are again choosing between different trails. When we finish with the chosen trail, we will head down to the Sarajevo city center through narrow streets. Total ride is around 25 kilometers, with 1170 meters in elevation gain.
