Detailed itinerary

Bijambare cave is one of the most beautiful caves in Bosnia and Herzegovina located around 40 km away from Sarajevo. After we are there, first we shall take a nice walk through the beautiful combination of oak, beech and pine forest to reach the Bijambare Cave complex. The walk is enriched with plenty of beautiful scenery, small creeks, small lake usually there in spring/winter, fresh air and much more what will make us have a great beginning of the tour.
After we reach Bijambare Caves complex, firstly we will visit Gornja Cave (Upper Cave). Gornja cave is the oldest cave in Bijambare cave area. It is neither a big speleological structure nor beautiful decorations that make Srednja cave so attractive. However it hides in its floor the most important records of the past fauna and mankind prehistory. Also, it is the highest cave in this complex. So great panoramic views are attractions that we shall not miss here.
After Upper Cave we will proceed to Middle Cave and you will be able to explore most beautiful cave in Bosnia with main hall that is bigger than average stadium. In this cave held one wedding ceremony several years ago. Everything went good, except the thing that they didn’t predict that there will be pretty cold in the cave. Ladies wearing light dresses couldn’t stay long during party.
Later on we will see the Lower Cave and a small lake located in Bijambare Cave complex.

Vrelo Bosne park with Spring of river Bosna will be the perfect ending for this tour. You will enjoy green scenery and plenty of water. Optional would be horse carriage ride through beautiful oak alley where you can find most beautiful villas and houses from period of Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
