Franciscan Monastery and Medieval Fortress Walk
After a little more than an hour’s ride from Sarajevo we’ll pass through the colorful outskirts of the ancient village of Kraljeva Sutjeska. Rich in natural wonders, such as the deep riverbed of Bukovica, the citadel of Bobovac has long been a natural oasis which still retains its untainted and pure mysticism.
On this hike we will:
- Begin our trek from the ancient village of Kraljeva Sutjeska home of the centuries old Franciscan Monastery, Sveti Ivo (Saint John’s).
- Follow the picturesque valley of Bukovica Stream, where the ancient beechwood forest will cool our walk with its soothing shade.
- Ascend a well maintained trail deeper into the valley to the steep ridge to reach the ruins of the 14th century citadel “Bobovac”, one of the last residence of the Bosnian kings Tvrtko II and Tomas.
- Visit the remains of an ancient fortress situated on a steep limestone rock. High in the hills and well-protected, this is our lunch spot.
- Take a short walk to the Franciscan Monastery that served this area in the middle ages, well before the Ottoman’s conquered this region. It’s a cultural heritage site of Bosnia and Herzegovina and we’ve put in a special request to open the doors for you on this afternoon.
