Bosnia & Herzegovina

Adventure Holidays in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina lies at the cultural crossroads of east and west, is situated between Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. It is one of Europe's most diverse nations, its history moulded by the meeting of the Byzantine and Ottoman civilisations from the east with the Roman and Austro-Hungarian ones from the west. In March 1992 BiH became an independent nation, an act that led to war between the Bosnian Croats and Muslims (who wanted independence) and the Serbs (who didn't). Three years of war, including some dreadful atrocities, ravaged the country. In 1995 a peace agreement was signed, and although times were still difficult, the long rehabilitation process began. Today it is a warm and welcoming country, offering magnificent architecture in the thriving cities such as Sarajevo and Mostar, with equally varied cuisine reflecting its past. Further afield a country of rugged scenery awaits, including soaring mountains, rural communities and tranquil pastures.
