Description

Begin your journey near the city center, venturing into nearly forgotten green corners. Enjoy a moment of rest, quiet thought, and easy walking. Follow a path along the banks of the Miljacka River, past the carefully designed gardens of local cafés and restaurants, where the scents of lavender, basil, and fresh coffee create a truly unique atmosphere.
Stop at the Suada and Olga Bridge, now a memorial site with a powerful message. On April 5th, 1992, Suada Dilberović, a medical student from Dubrovnik, and Olga Sučić, a civil servant from Sarajevo, were killed by sniper fire during a peaceful protest calling for a united and democratic Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their tragic deaths marked the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo and became a symbol of civilian courage and resistance.
Pause at the most beautiful spots to listen to the birdsong, the rustling leaves, and feel the soft breeze. Step into hidden urban gardens, where the aromas of nature mingle with hints of homemade dishes and fresh herbal teas. Learn about the diverse plant life that thrives in this urban setting, and hear curious stories about how nature continues to adapt to life in the city.
