What are the most spectacular roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Located in the heart of the Balkans, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a paradise for 4x4 enthusiasts, as the country hosts a large number of unpaved roads climbing up to mountains.

If you’re up for a gravel mountain road, you can’t miss the 17 hairpins on the road to Bjelašnica, a mountain peak at an elevation of 2.056m (6,745ft) above sea level in the Sarajevo Canton. Or Driving to Pločno in the Čvrsnica mountain, the roof of Bosnia and Herzegovina, at 2.204m (7,230ft) above sea level. If you’re searching wild experiences, Brasina is one of the best offroad experiences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It’s a mountain peak at 1.873m (6,145ft) above sea level. Definitely it’s one of the best offroad experiences in the country. Due to hazardous area (mine fields) do not hike or ride outside of the dirt road. The climb is very steep, with sections up to 14%.

Remember some areas are marked with reminders of past conflicts, with the lurking risk of mines. Landmines and other unexploded weapons remain from the 1992 to 1995 war. While highly populated areas and major routes are largely clear, there is still a risk in less populated and rural areas. Do not step off roads and paved areas without an experienced guide.
