Trebinje
July 11, 2023 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ 🌙 26 °C
Mini aventure du soir. Nous sommes à Trebinje en Bosnie. Sans telephone ni internet. Il n'y a pas de camping et tous les hôtels avec parking sont complets !!!
Dernier hôtel, j'explique à la petite réceptionniste mon pb et là elle commence à appeler tous ses collègues des hôtels proches. Sans succès. Et là elle pense à un ami à elle, elle l'appelle il déboule en scooter.
On le suit ds la campagne et là il ns loge ds une maison qu'il loue. Endroit excellent avec wifi et machine à laver pour 50 Euros.
Certainement un bon prix pour lui et un bon deal pour nous.
Nous terminons la soirée au petit restau du coin. Serveur adorable. Plats maison. Depuis que nous sommes arrivés en Bosnie nous n'avons que de chouettes rencontres.Read more

Bosnien-Herzegowina
September 9, 2023 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
In Bosnien-Herzegowina machten wir einen Abstecher zum Tanken. 1,39 € Diesel (tatsächlich dann 1,47€).
In Kroatien haben wir für 1, 52 € getankt.

Ich suchte ein Plätzchen am Wasser und fand an einem Fluss einen großen Schotterparkplatz mit einem Badesee! 🤗😂.

Nach der Hitze und der Fahrt eine willkommene Abkühlung ⛱️⛲Read more

Trebinje
November 12, 2022 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
In Kotor I've ended up sick, I woke up with shivering and a fever

I needed to calm down a bit and rest to recover but Kotor was such an expensive place that it would cost me too much to get a private room there

I decided to take a bus to Trebinje in Bosnia to get a private room until i'd feel betterRead more

Day 10
Tvrdos Monastery and Trebinje
September 26, 2022 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
We drive south towards the Adriatic and visit the 15th century Serbian Orthodox Tvrdos Monastery, situated on cliffs above Trebinje. The Monastery was destroyed by an earthquake in the 17th century and rebuilt in 1920; the original 4th century roman church foundations are still visible inside the church. Tvrdos Monastery is renowned for its wine production and, yes, we sampled the white and the red.

Trebinje is the southernmost city in BiH; it is situated on the River Trebisnjica and is only 28km from Dubrovnik. The small, walled Old Town is 18th century Ottoman and this is surrounded by Austro-Hungarian (1878-1918) buildings; there are also 10 forts on the hills surrounding the city.

We have a tour of the Old Quarter and see the two mosques; the taller one cost the life of its builder as it was larger than that of the more dominant sultan. Outside the Old Quarter we see sites of the Austro-Hungarian period.

We then walk along the river to see the Arslanagic-Perovia Bridge; this was moved downstream due to the building of a dam. Because of this fact, this historic Bridge is not able to obtain UNESCO status.Read more

Bei spätsommerlichen Temperaturen hatten wir einen schönen kurzen Spaziergang durch die Altstadt von Trebinje. Der endete dort mit leckerem Kaffee zum Spottpreis. Wie schon an einigen anderen Orten waren auch hier Granatäpfel allgegenwärtig.Read more

Hilfe ist unterwegs
September 26, 2021 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Am frühen Morgen hat mich ein Spaziergänger auf meinen Bus angesprochen. Ich habe etwas mit ihm gesprochen und dann gefragt, wo hier die nächsten Werkstatt für meinen Bus ist. Nun sitze ich erstmal beim Kaffee und Raki bei Rado auf dem Sofa und warte. Er hat seine Kontakte aktiviert. Ich bin gespannt!

Gerade hat er seine Frau mit einem kleinen Lied auf seiner Gitarre geweckt. Sie Nachbarn habe ich auch kennengelernt. Die Frau das Hauses arbeitet im Krankenhaus in der Radiologie. Im Moment kocht sie allerdings Pflaumenmus über einem Lagerfeuer in ihrem Garten.Read more

Day 21
Trebinje, BiH
October 21, 2021 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Trebinje is the southernmost city in Bosnia and Herzegovina (abbreviated BiH), located near the borders of Croatia and Montenegro. The old town is small and what exists today dates to the 17th century Ottoman period.
The 1st 2 pictures are taken from across the Trebisnjica river. The 1st, framed by a tree trunk and leaves, is a corner of the old city wall. The 2nd is a bit upstream from the 1st and isa local water access. The orange-ish building is a local madrassa.
The 3rd and 4th pictures are inside the old town. The 3rd is of the south gate and a portion of the wall, while the 4th is one of the open squares in the old town.
The 5th picture is of the main square, just outside the old town walls and is the market square, as it still is today.
The last picture is the Arslanogić Bridge. This bridge is an historic landmark that dates to the 16th century and to the 20th century. In 1966, the bridge was moved, stone by stone, to its current location. So what we see today is the same bridge with the same stones in the same places in the structure. This bridge isn't as high as that bridge in Mostar, but it is more interesting engineering to my eye.Read more

Day 12
Grapes and goulash in Trebinje
August 16, 2018 in Bosnia and Herzegovina ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Started the day with a morning ferry from Korcula back to Dubrovnik and then caught a bus to Trebinje, Bosnia. Btw there's a very odd policy in Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia to pay the bus driver one euro for every bag stowed in the luggage area of bus. Lame. Pretty sure this goes directly into the driver's pocket.

Prices in Croatia were killing us, so we were anxious to get back to the balkan costs of living away from the Mediterranean coastline. Trebinje, bosnia definitely filled that criteria. Normal sized beer ranged from $1cad to $2.50cad. Had a large goulash meal for $5cad. And our apartment rental was $30cad, and can honestly say it was overpriced heh. Won't make that mistake again.

The old town was cute but considerably smaller and less maintained than the places we had just visited. But still a nice place to wander around before heading north to Mostar and Sarajevo. Passed lots of vineyards on the way here and learned it's Bosnia's main wine region. So that's where we started our day...

Saw a major winery was within walking distance of our apartment and headed off. I swear it's not my fault, but there are crosswalks all over without traffic signals and you have to step into traffic and everyone stops for you... Which they did for us, but a trailing car crashed into the car that stopped for us and a huge argument ensued between drivers finishing with the guilty party hopping back in his car and taking off. And lol followed by other drivers getting out of their cars to argue about something with the victim. I was gonna record the altercations but then thought better of it and moved on. Bosnians are a feisty lot.

Passed by a bunch of war-bombed-out buildings immediately before reaching the state of the art winery building. So much contrast everywhere. After some great wine there, we walked back and found a beer festival setting up, but unfortunately a huge storm was coming and couldn't stay for long. Got caught in a huge rainstorm earlier in the day too so left and finished the night in the old town. Pretty chill day, but have had lots of early mornings and no A/C lately, and it's starting to wear on us a bit. But with Mostar up next, getting rested is ideal. -SPRead more
