Why Vrelo Bosne matters
A tram and a short walk take you from the city to a green park where the Bosna river bubbles out of the ground. A long, tree-lined avenue leads past clear pools and wooden bridges. Locals take horse-drawn carriages or stroll with family. It is a gentle break from the city.
Talking points
- The Bosna river rises from springs here.
