Day 11: From Nuglasica to Grabovica

After the charming local experience, we continued our journey toward our next destination. We pedaled 74 km, passing vibrant poppy fields, remnants of war-torn houses, and stunning green areas along narrow roads until we arrived in Grabovica. The contrast with our previous destination was striking—no Bosnian coffee here, just cappuccinos and a more Westernized lifestyle and cuisine. We already missed our routine in the little towns, but it was great to find a good internet signal and a comfortable place to rest. When we arrived, it started to rain, so we headed to the restaurant of Eco Selo Grabovica for some dinner before going to rest for our next day.

Day 7: From Bihac to Japodski Otoci

Image
We found a lovely apartment by the Una River in Bihać to spend the night. The next day, the best way to start the day was with a dip in the river, which was around 9 degrees Celsius. The icy water made us feel completely awake and ready for our next ride. After biking 34 km, we arrived at our next destination: Japodski Otoci , a hidden paradise in Una National Park. Here, you can choose unique accommodations like a treehouse (our home for the night), a dome for stargazing, or cozy tepees. The park also features a large restaurant, and the use of kayaks is included with your stay, allowing for even more adventure on the river. Our rest day flew by quickly, and we ended it with a delightful dinner at the restaurant within the natural complex, enjoying the cozy ambiance of a fire.

Day 9: From Štrbački buk to Martin Brod

Image
We started the day with a refreshing swim in the River Una, right in front of Panzio Vasva and Hazim . The cool, clear water was the perfect wake-up call. After our swim, we enjoyed a generous homemade breakfast, complete with a strong and flavorful Bosnian coffee. It was the ideal way to start another day of our adventure. After saying our heartfelt goodbyes to our hosts, we hopped back on our bikes and pedaled 20 km towards Martin Brod. The road was pleasant, offering great views and little traffic. We arrived in Martin Brod just before the big rain started. Midway, we stopped for a coffee in Ostrovica, a small, beautiful town. While sipping our coffee, we listened to the melodic call to prayer from the local mosque, which echoed across the town. Finally, we arrived in Martin Brod and checked in at Restoran i Prenoćište Kod Zore . After sett ling in, we went to explore the nearby cascades. Though they were smaller than the ones we saw at Štrbački Buk, they were stunning.
