Itinerary
Bijambare cave is one of the most beautiful caves in Bosnia and Herzegovina located around 40 km away from Sarajevo. After we are there, first we shall take a nice walk through the beautiful combination of oak, beech and pine forest to reach the Bijambare Cave complex. The walk is enriched with plenty of beautiful scenery, small creeks, small lake usually there in spring/winter, fresh air and much more what will make us have a great beginning of the tour. After we reach Bijambare Caves complex, firstly we will visit Gornja Cave (Upper Cave). Gornja cave is the oldest cave in Bijambare cave area. It is neither a big speleological structure nor beautiful decorations that make Srednja cave so attractive. However it hides in its floor the most important records of the past fauna and mankind prehistory. Also, it is the highest cave in this complex. So great panoramic views are attractions that we shall not miss here. After Upper Cave we will proceed to Middle Cave and you will be able to explore most beautiful cave in Bosnia with main hall that is bigger than average stadium. In this cave held one wedding ceremony several years ago. Everything went good, except the thing that they didn’t predict that there will be pretty cold in the cave. Ladies wearing light dresses couldn’t stay long during party. Later on we will see the Lower Cave and a small lake located in Bijambare Cave complex.
Vrelo Bosne park with Spring of river Bosna will be the perfect ending for this tour. You will enjoy green scenery and plenty of water. Optional would be horse carriage ride through beautiful oak alley where you can find most beautiful villas and houses from period of Austro-Hungarian monarchy.

Our tour guide Sameer was a knowledgeable and respectful man that made our day even more enjoyable. He had an incredible amount of Bosnian and local knowledge, we learnt so much from him. Highly recommended
This was 1 of 3 tours we took with Meet Bosnia and the only one I booked ahead of time. Not knowing what to expect, I was leery of booking with a tour company. Meet Bosnia is AMAZING! All of the guides we met were helpful, knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely interested in sharing their country with visitors. I can honestly say that the guides at this company made my trip to Sarajevo truly special. In terms of this particular tour, the cave was astounding. Quite chilly, so bring a sweater. Without this tour I wouldn't have known to go to the Spring of River Bosna, and I'm so glad we did. Highly recommend.
Vedad, our driver, took us and gave such personal insight to any questions we asked. He pointed out important buildings on the way out and in from Sarajevo. He went above and beyond to make this experience, I’ll never forget. The Bunker was mind blowing. Who knew? I learnt so much about the logistics, secrecy and all that was encompassed to get it built.
Both parts of this trip were so fun. The caves are amazing and the springs are so beautiful - walking around in both areas felt so peaceful. Mahir, our guide, was very nice and informative and taught us about Sarajevo's history along the way.
A great day trip combining nature and relaxation! Bijambare Cave with its huge rock formations and cool atmosphere, while Vrelo Bosne offers peaceful walks and stunning natural springs. Definitely worth visiting if you're near Sarajevo. Also shout out to Maroko (i hope i spell his name right) for the great company since I was traveling solo.
Dear Nurul, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the day trip to Bijambare Cave and Vrelo Bosne. It is a beautiful combination of nature, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings near Sarajevo. Thank you also for your kind words about Maroko. We are glad he made the experience enjoyable and comfortable for you, especially as a solo traveler. Thank you for joining us and for recommending the tour.

My delightful guide Amir made this tour a once-in-lifetime experience, I had a wonderful day exploring Bijambare Caves and Vrelo Bosne Park. From start to finish, he made the trip enjoyable, informative, and very comfortable. Amir has a wealth of knowledge about the history, culture, and nature of the area, and he shared it in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. He was also very attentive and flexible, making sure I had enough time to enjoy the caves, the peaceful forest walk, and the beautiful springs at Vrelo Bosne. His friendly personality and genuine passion for showing the best of Bosnia made the tour feel less like a formal excursion and more like exploring with a local friend. I highly recommend Amir to anyone visiting Sarajevo—if you want a memorable and authentic experience, he’s the perfect guide!

Really appreciate Bosnia Tours still took us on this tour despite bookings being low. Our tour guide, Agan, was very friendly and ensured we knew how to navigate around to caves and then spring of river tour. The actual areas are underrated, very beautiful, can easily spend half day in each section. Definitely something to do, if you want to explore the beauty but are limited on time for full day hikes.
Dear Shamia, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so pleased that you enjoyed exploring the caves and the spring of the Bosna River with Agan. He will be very happy to hear your kind words. These sites are indeed beautiful and often underrated, and we’re glad you found them such a rewarding option, especially with limited time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour to discover even more of Bosnia’s natural and cultural treasures. Best regards, Meet Bosnia Tours Team
Really enjoyed this tour just a short drive from Sarajevo into the mountains for a gentle walk through the forest to the caves and then back to the beautiful riverside park in Sarajevo. Our guide Amir was excellent, knowledgeable and warm explaining not only about the caves but also some of the culture and history of this wonderful country. Recommended.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the combination of nature, history, and culture on the tour, and that the experience gave you a deeper insight into Bosnia. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated! Best regards, Meet Bosnia Tours Team
