Our local Mountaineering Society AO Tržič has been organizing a
mountain biking trip to
Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2015. For our 2025 adventure, we decided to return to
Umoljani, the very same destination where our journey began ten years ago in 2015.
Once again, the final day of the trip had arrived. We had planned a combination of two shorter rides, with different members of the group joining each one. I decided to take part in both.
The first ride took us beneath
Bjelašnica to Babin Do, where most of the group loaded their bikes onto the trailer and headed towards
Sarajevo. A few of us decided to take the trail down to Sarajevo instead. We had to search for the trail in a few places along the way, but eventually we all made it down safely -
Garmin Connect.
Once we had all regrouped in the valley, it was time for the long drive home - complete with the usual long wait at the border.
Previous day of this years trip: Day 1 -
16814, Day 2 -
16815, Day 3 -
16816.
