Hibernation is passed. Everything is waking up. From spring flowers to humans and animals. Everything is in bloom and cheerfull.

If you were to ask which is the most beautiful time in Bosnia, all would say spring. Forests and meadows are covered with a green floral carpet. White clouds are on the blue sky. Vineyards, orchards and forests are decorated with their tiny, white and pink flowers. The days are getting longer. Storks are back. Acacia blossoms and bees intoxicated by sweet nectar enjoy the flight. People start preparing the fields and gardens for spring planting and seeding.
People spend more time outdoors in nature. They wear light clothing and shoes. Sometimes the spring rain falls from which we protect with the colorful umbrellas.
Bears wake up from sleep and from the south migratory birds return and many animals get their young.
Visit Bosnia in the spring and we have attractive destinations for you.
