Prozor-Rama lake, Hercegovina, one of the undiscovered corners of Bosnia & Hercegovina, and one of the most sparsely populated parts of southern Europe, unfortunately the water level was quite low, a few more uploads to come from this place, and I may even go back again one day.
Svrzo House represents the culture of living of city Muslim family from the end of XVII century.
After the siege of Sarajevo, the house was rebuilt and reopened again in 1997; during 2005 another bigger reconstruction has been done: roof, pavement, installations and restoration of pictures.
The area around the Cathedral of Jesus' Sacred Heart, between Mula Mustafe Bašeskije (to the north) and Ferhadija (to the south), is called Trg Fra Grge Martića.
During the Ottoman period there was a Janissary headquarters here which would later be turned into an inn and a military storehouse following the abolition of these infantry units in the first half of the 19th century.
It seems the facility was knocked down even before Austro-Hungarian occupation because it was not included in the city map from 1879.
Austro-Hungarian authorities had originally intended to build a market here, but plans were changed, so construction on the cathedral, as designed by Josip Vancaš, began in 1884 and was completed in 1887.
At one time, part of the square on the Ferhadija side was called Kapija, after the gate (kapija) on the south side of the headquarters, and the square around the cathedral was later called Crkveni Trg.
In 1919, the square was named after Fra Grg Martić, a Franciscan friar who was born in Rastovača (near Posušje) and served, for some time, as a parish priest in Sarajevo. He was also a fierce supporter of the Illyrian Movement and a writer who is best known for his collection of epic poems, Osvetnici.
In April 2014, there was an unveiling of a statue of Pope John Paul II, a proven benefactor of Sarajevo and BiH.
Plane trees are one of the most recognizable symbols of Trebinje. For many visitors during hot days, summer patio Platani represents an oasis where they can find refreshment in the shade of trees that are more than 120 years old.Natural shade of those 16 tremendous trees located in the heart of the city and over 500 seats make this patio a unique and favorite meeting place for all generations in Trebinje, and for the visitors passing through this city en route to the Adriatic coast as well.
Auf der Strecke von Sarajevo nach Visoko verläuft die Strecke durch dichtbesiedeltes Gebiet. Man könnte meinen, dass die vielen Ortschaften im Einzugsgebiet von Sarajevo viele Zugfahrten generieren könnten, allerdings beschränken sich die Zugleistungen auf ganz wenige am Tag... Potenzial wäre aber bestimmt vorhanden.
Mit Blick auf die Kirche St. Mark und der Moschee Novi Ilijas wurde der kurze Reisezug fotografiert, der sogar einen ehemaligen skandinavischen Reisezugwagen im Zugverband hatte.
Über typisch bosnische Infrastruktur schaukelt 441 910 mit dem Zug B 710 von Sarajevo nach Maglaj und erreicht in Kürze seinen Halt in Podlugovi.
Being faced with the perspective of there not being any way to photograph a working Kriegslok, our newly found friends from the UK offered us a trip towards Banovići. I was really hesitant to go there, as I don't really like narrow gauge trains, but what other option was there? We got into the car and, very slowly, drove to Banovići where we met with the friendly staff, got permits and started walking around the main railway workshops area. We got informed, that one of the narrow gauge engines is active at Oskova, working with loaded trains near the washery.
We made our way there and the loco was waiting for a loaded train, which would come in the late afternoon. We spent our time waiting for that to happen by walking around, chatting, having tea and all that. One of the Brits, who we'd met, showed me a shed downhill from where we were and told me 'That's where they have a tanker engine on standard gauge, there was an organised excursion here in October, and they were told the tanker will never run ever again, due to a heavy breakdown'. As witnessed by Gordon here.
How surprised were my friends to see, moments later, steam and smoke coming from under the roof of the shed. We came down the hill to see what's happening and we weren't mistaken - the loco was indeed being fired up. At the same time the crew was digging out a tunnel in the deep snow for the locomotive to have a short test run, which we were all very excited for. It turned out the diesel shunter had a heavy breakdown and needed to be sent for repairs. The tanker was to overtake its role. To our knowledge, this only used to happen maybe just a couple of times a year in the past years.
In some time it finally happened and I got my participation prize. 62-125, the last standard gauge Yugoslav tanker engine was out for the test run and we all captured it as it was moving around the snowed over track. Sadly it couldn't move very far, as the locomotive would get stuck in the deep snow, especially without cowcatchers.
This tanker engine was produced in Yugoslavia based on a USA design for the war effort. So, in a sense, I sort of got my picture of a Kriegslok after all.

Blagaj revisited, the water level was considerably higher than my last visit in October 2014, it's also not off the beaten track anymore, Korean bus groups have already found it, it will be a Bosnian Disneyland like Mostar in a few months, glad I visited in the off season.
