Mostar

During our stay in Croatia we scheduled one-day visit to the Bosnian town of Mostar. The references were positive and the fear was zero...

...until this sign!!! : (Dubrovnik in front - Sarajevo right).
I admit that there was some anxiety at the entrance of the country...
...but the initial scenario was nice.


Small town of Percitelj (on the way to Mostar).
On the entrance to Mostar the scenario becomes more scary. More movement, more fearful expressions, and buildings decorated with bullet holes.


The surprise was in the center and on the banks of the River Neretva. A cozy old town :)





(Stari Most) - The historic old bridge.
I heartily recommend :)

Primosten

This was the first city we visited in contact with the Dalmatian Coast.
Was recommended by some friends and it turned out a little wonder.

On the way...
Once was an island but is now connected to the mainland by a bridge.
The city, which looks like a fortress, is well preserved and allows us to attend a fabulous landscape.

Finding Krka National Park

It was a complicated day. The park seemed to be getting further away but the landscape was always admired :)
At one point I thought: "We are lost!" :)
This was it ... we have entered in a war zone :)
Finally ... we had access to the park without realizing how.

Plitvice Lakes National Park

The Plitvice Lakes are considered as world heritage by UNESCO. I was amazed with such beauty, although it has not been the best time of year to visit this site.

...but the photos speak for themselves.

Slunjcica Waterfalls

On the way to the Plitvice Lakes we discovered a small town that awakened our interest.
Our curiosity grew when we passed this bridge and we looked over it.
A little paradise...
...with a set of small waterfalls creating a fantastic impression.
