Bosnia and Herzegovina: Cycling on Bobsled track and Motorcycling back to Slovenia

PD Tržič (Alpine Association Tržič) organized mountain bike expedition around Bjelašnica and today was our third and last cycling day (First day - 13161, Second day - 13162). After the breakfast in our Pansion Umoljani, we said goodbye to the owners and we started driving/riding towards Sarajevo. After a while we got a phone call from the owners. One of our guys, Janez, forgot the wallet, but since our host was very nice, he brought it to us. Soon we continued. One group decided to skip cycling today and they visited Baščaršija, old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the Sarajevo. Nada, Janez, Janez, Uroš, Uroš, Slavc and me decided to do a little more cycling. We cycled on Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh track and it was a nice experience. After the cycling Nada and me left the group and with Blue Horse we started riding back to Ljubljana an on the way we stopped a couple of times at nice places.

Bihaćka kula - The Catholic St. Anthony's Church (Crkva svetog antuna) was errected in 1894 as a replacement for the original St. Anthony Church, which had been converted to the Fethija Mosque by the Ottomans at the end of the 16th century. Already 50 years later, in 1944 the St. Anthony's Church was destroyed during allied bombings and only the rectangle bell tower survived.
