Bosnia and Herzegovina features towns with medieval heritage and natural beauty. This 10-hour motorized tour from Sarajevo visits Travnik, Jajce, Pliva lake, and the nearby Watermills. The day begins at 8:00 am with a stop at Travnik’s Old Town fortress, built in the 14th century and largely shaped by Ottoman architecture. Visitors spend about an hour exploring this well-preserved medieval site. Then there is a half-hour break at "Plava Voda," a spring in Travnik where traditional Bosnian coffee can be enjoyed. The tour continues to Jajce, a town on the Pliva and Vrbas rivers known for its medieval character and 26 national monuments. Guests explore the Jajce Fortress for about an hour, an example of Bosnian medieval construction. Nearby is the Catacomb of Jajce, a small underground Christian church carved from rock in late Romanesque style, visited for 30 minutes. The tour includes a visit to the Pliva Waterfall in Jajce’s center, a 21-meter-tall waterfall ranked among the world’s twelve most beautiful. Finally, the tour reaches the Watermills at Mlincici, about 5 kilometers from Jajce’s center. This group of 20 medieval watermills lies between the Small and Large Pliva lakes. Some mills remain functional. Visitors have about an hour here to see the mills and rest by Pliva lake, where lunch can be taken before returning to Sarajevo. The tour includes breakfast, air-conditioned transport, and gratuities, but lunch, dinner, and personal expenses are not covered.
