“Absolutely loved Via Ferrata Bukovik! The guide was encouraging, patient and made sure everyone was having a great time. Beautiful scenery and a very memorable experience.”
Emily Carter • Via Ferrata Bukovik
“I did two ferratas with Bosnian Outdoor Adventures and I totally recommend. The ferratas (Bijele stijene on Trebević and the one on Bukovik) are stunning, with beautiful views on Sarajevo and surroundings, especially the one on Trebević. My guide Jen was very friendly and considerate. Communication with the organisation went smooth.”
Marina P., Netherlands • Via Ferrata Trebević & Bukovik
