Vrelo Bosne, protected area in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Vrelo Bosne is a karst spring and the source of the Bosna River near Sarajevo. The site encompasses a protected park with natural pools, walking paths, and green spaces surrounding the bubbling springs.
The spring has been an important site for local communities for centuries, serving as a water source for the region. It was recognized as a protected natural area to preserve this geologically significant formation.
The name Vrelo Bosne comes from Bosnian and means "Source of the Bosna." You will see locals and visitors spending time here daily, walking along the water, drinking traditional coffee, and eating fresh trout—activities that have long been part of life in this place.
The park is easily accessible with well-maintained paths that guide you around the springs. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the trails are dry and the surroundings are greenest.
The water that emerges here has flowed through limestone caverns underground and maintains a refreshingly cool temperature year-round. This makes the area a natural cooling place, even when outside temperatures are warm.
