Embark on a full-day sightseeing tour of East Bosnia and uncover hidden gems like Gorazde, Foca, and the breathtaking Sand Pyramids. Explore the beauty of this lesser-known region of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Pješčane piramide - This rare natural phenomenon, featuring sand pyramids, is over 200 years old. Unlike the well-known attractions in Colorado, Đavolije Varoši in Serbia, and the Dolomites in Italy, these pyramids near the town of Foca are not yet famous. The unique aspect of these sand pyramids is that they grow larger over time. Due to the erosion of the sand at the base, the body of the pyramids expands daily. Although they do not grow in the traditional sense, their height increases.
- Aladza Mosque - The Aladža Mosque (Bosnian: Aladža džamija, Turkish: Alaca Camii), also known as Šarena džamija or “Colorful Mosque,” is located in Foča, in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is considered one of the most architecturally significant mosques in the European part of the Ottoman Empire, then known as Rumelia, and one of the three most important mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Sarajevo and the Ferhadija Mosque in Banja Luka. Built in 1549, it was destroyed in 1992 and reconstructed between 2016 and 2018.
- Foca - Foca is a charming city in eastern Bosnia, known for its rich Ottoman heritage, as it was one of the Ottoman strongholds in the Balkans. The city is situated on the banks of two rivers that flow through three national parks, with Foca being the first city they encounter.
- Gorazde - Gorazde is an industrial city in eastern Bosnia with a rich history. Located on the banks of the River Drina, it, along with Sarajevo, endured a long siege during the Bosnian war. We will meet the locals, explore the city, and learn about the resistance in this town and the bridge built under a bridge as a corridor during the siege.
- Rorovi - These are the frontlines and positions of soldiers who kept Gorazde under siege for four years.
