Hi there, I'm new to travelling but i'm prepared to try anything (especially accompanied by more experienced friend). We're planning to go to Sarajevo then explore the Sutjeska National Park during the last week or two of October this year (2008). By all accounts this is an amazing part of Europpe to explore however I have found it very difficult to find any detailed information to help us estabish what is possible and how best to prepare for it. In particualr can anyone suggest places that may have information (in english) on transportation links in the area (we'll be backpacking), locations of key attractions, accommodation and its availability (we're planning on not taking camping equipment) and any advice on climbing Maglic.

Thanks in advance,

Kev

We visited Sarajevo in June . Its a wonderful area . You should be aware however that land mines are a real threat still in unpopulated areas. So stick to the travelled paths. The hills surrounding Sarajevo were the former front lines during the war , so there are still landmines .Other than that its a wonderful city , lots of fun.There is lots of bus service around the area and you can buy your ticket from the driver , its a good way to get around and not expensive .
