We enjoyed Bridge over Drina (because we read Ivo Andrič´s book Na Drini ćuprija) and also Andričgrad, Dobrun and other locations. Due to unexpected delay on borders, we missed The Šargan Eight train, but everything else was great including beautiful bosnian nature and mountains. And we got also sandwiches for a trip :-)”
