Bosnia - Goodbye Montenegro, Hello Sarajevo, Bosnia - Thursday, 9/16/2021

Beautiful drive thru the Piva Canyon in Montenegro



We drive to Bosnia along beautiful Lake Piva, a reservoir in the northwest part of Montenegro


Lake Piva, an artificial lake, was created when the Piva Canyon was flooded to construct the Mrtanije Dam built in 1975

Looking down to the Tara River at the Mratinje Dam


Bridge over the river to the border crossing to Bosnia Hergazavinia


Entering Srpska in Bosnia Herzegovina at the border crossing.  Srpska is one of the two entities of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the other being the Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina 

Walking through the old bazaar in Sarajevo

 Landmark wooden fountain built in the 18th century & resembling an ornate kiosk - symbol of Sarajevo

Eternal flame for those who gave their lives in the siege of Sarajevo in 1992 which lasted from April, 1992 until February, 1996
