The adventure still continues in Bosnia and Herzegovina, visiting a small town called Jajce, 150 km from Bihac. En route, we stopped after about an hour's journey at Štrbački Buk (Serbian Cyrillic), offering stunning views of the natural landscape. The attraction is located within the Una National Park.
A stunning view of a tiered waterfall in Bosnia and Herzegovina that is well worth a visit. The water is extremely blue and transparent, and the sound of the falls is captivating. The nearby restaurants and stalls were not yet open when we arrived early in the morning.
The tiered waterfall of Štrbački Buk was close to the Rastoke in Croatia; however, we were mesmerized by the blue and clear water and the sound from the falls much closer as the deck was situated along the riverbank. After spending more than an hour, we headed out of the park and briefly stopped at another view of the Una River and took a lovely photo. The waterfall provided views reminiscent of a lake. Let's roll the pictures!

Stopped for a while at one of the Una riverbanks for yet another breathtaking lake view. Now it seems greener because of many aquatic plants. Before leaving the national park, we bought bottles of natural honey at Becir Hajrlahovic.

| I could only enjoy this view from the bus because the winding road lacks parking spaces. |
Later in the afternoon, we stopped at Pliva waterfall. The Pliva waterfall, situated in the heart of the fortress town of Jajce, offered yet another breathtaking view. There was a small entrance fee to explore the falls up close. We took pictures at the provided deck, close enough that we even had to speak louder to beat the roar of the waterfall.

| Rainbow captured! |
Then, we continued heading to Travnik in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, 90 kilometers west of Sarajevo and stopped at Travnik Castle, also known as Travnička Tvrđava. When we arrived at 6pm, the castle was about to close, so we barely had less than 30 minutes to explore the site. The fortress is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved facilities of medieval Bosnia. Historians estimate its construction dates to either the second half of the 14th or the first half of the 15th century. I've taken many pictures in this vast castle within a short period. Bear with me...
