In Southern Europe, there lies a heart-shaped country that covers an area about half the size of the state of Kentucky in the United States. Bosnia and Herzegovina is situated along the coastline of the famous Adriatic Sea on the Balkan Peninsula and reigns just south of Croatia, west of Serbia and northwest of Montenegro. If it's not for the Adriatic Sea, the country would have been landlocked which won't be an issue because it will still flourish with beauty. The northern part is blessed with high peaks and green vegetation while the southern area is teeming with farmlands where the Bosnian people get their supply of good produce. Bosnia is a strikingly gorgeous country with all its amazing landscapes, unique cultures and distinct traditions. And because of its inviting climate, more and more tourists from around the globe fly in to have fun and witness its splendor.

You can also visit Sutjeska National Park which is famous for its great monuments made of stone built in commemoration of the country's victory against the Germans in World War II. The park consists of more than 17,000 hectares of land that's rich in virgin forests and a wide assortment of wildlife.
Aside from landscapes that epitomize the richness of the country's natural resource, there are also sites that have spiritual significance.

Tekija, a 16th century monastery is found just beside the underground Karst River where tourists can enjoy Turkish coffee, tea or cold drinks any time of the year.
