  Personal information:
During my Balkan vacation, I more or less only saw Sarajevo and Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I reached Sarajevo over snow-covered hills, and it was a strange feeling to be able to pay with the German mark again after a long time.

I found friendly people, delicious food, and a great wine shop. I also completed the obligatory visit to the bridge where the assassination attempt took place in 1914 and the Olympic flame.

I really liked the country and could easily imagine visiting again.

Furthermore I attended a wine tasting of local wines in Sarajevo, they were great!
