Our team prefers walking on the mountain paths, so in our company you can enjoy the scenery and hear some of the most interesting facts about this famous mountain. Vlašić also has different water sources that create rivers and streams. The most famous river is the Ugar, so we will explore it as well. We will take you to the Ilom waterfall on this river. We wouldn’t advise swimming here because the water is quite fast and cold, but we recommend saving some energy for a few photos at this place.
If you’ve explored Bosnian cuisine, you’ve heard that this region is associated with Travnik ćevapi and Vlašić cheese, which gastronomes and gourmets rank among the best cheeses. We reommend you to try one of these delicious dishes in a homely atmosphere. A perfect end to the day. Enjoy.
