Vrbas River Canyon
Deep, turquoise-colored river gorges cutting through steep limestone cliffs shortly after takeoff.
Vlašić Mountain
One of the most massive mountain plateaus in Bosnia, known for its traditional nomad shepherd huts.
Olympic Peaks
Breathtaking views of Mount Bjelašnica and Igman, the primary sites for the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Vrelo Bosne
The lush green park and springs at the foot of Mount Igman during the final descent into SJJ.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the limestone peaks of Bjelašnica illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass Vlašić, as the scale of the massif is best appreciated from low-altitude regional flights.

Central Bosnian Foothills
Dense beech and oak forests covering the rolling hills south of the Posavina region.
Zenica Industrial Basin
A clear view of the sprawling steel mills and urban density of Bosnia's fourth-largest city.
Bosna River Curves
The winding path of the Bosna River as it carves through the mountains towards the north.
Mount Trebević
