Families who want short walks, flat paths and fenced viewpoints, with one lake or shallow-shelf swim in season and transfers that suit guided or self-drive.
Sarajevo base → Mostar base for Blagaj, Počitelj and Kravica late shade → Jajce stop for decks and mills → Bihać base for Una platforms → return to Sarajevo.
~14 to 18 hours across seven days, spread over transfer days.
On foot and tram in cities, cable car to Trebević, guided transfers or self-drive between bases.
Day
Walk Baščaršija Old Bazaar for copper lanes and kahva (Bosnian coffee) sets. Step into the Gazi Husrev-beg complex courtyard and keep lanes short and shaded.
Ride the Trebević cable car for a high city view. Follow signed paths to safe bobsleigh track viewpoints. Avoid high banks.
Cable-car stations are step-free; old-town cobbles have short steps.
Sarajevo.
Day
Flat paths and low bridges at Vrelo Bosne. Add the Roman Bridge loop if shade holds.
Choose one or two: Vijećnica atrium for a bright indoor stop, National Museum for fish pools and the glass roof, or the Historical Museum for clear modern-history rooms.
Springs are mostly level; museum access varies by hall.
Sarajevo.
Day
Sarajevo to Mostar about 2 to 2.5 hours
Check in at Mostar, then visit Blagaj Tekija for riverside calm. Dress modestly for interiors. Continue to Počitelj for a short, steady climb to the first terrace for wide river looks.
Blagaj paths are level. Use a carrier for Počitelj steps.
Mostar.
Day
Low terrace and step frames near Stari Most. Keep to rails and avoid crowds by starting early.
Kravica Waterfalls for a late-shade swim in roped zones and terrace views. Out of season, swap for a short Čitluk tasting with a driver and soft drinks for children.
Marked paths and terraces; no prams on wet steps.
Mostar.
Day
Mostar to Jajce about 2.5 to 3 hours; Jajce to Bihać about 2 to 2.5 hours
Break the transfer with fenced decks at the Pliva Waterfall and a short Pliva lakes and mills boardwalk loop. Continue to Bihać.
Decks are level with rails; boardwalks can be damp.
Bihać.
Day
Bihać to Štrbački Buk about 50 to 70 minutes; to Martin Brod about 50 to 70 minutes
Walk the signed platforms at Štrbački Buk, then the shaded bridges and channels at Martin Brod. Keep within rail lines and use benches for rests.
Decks are fine for a travel pram; some park tracks are bumpy.
Bihać.
Day
Bihać to Sarajevo about 4.5 to 5 hours
Return to Sarajevo. Take a flat Vilsonovo river loop and finish with an early dinner.
Plan city walks early and decks late; keep Kravica for shade. Use caves, springs and cafés for midday resets.
Mountain and valley speeds are modest; allow buffer time. Guided transfers reduce fatigue on longer days.
Minaret in Mostar is narrow and ticketed; go off-peak. Kravica posts swim rules in season. Parks use entry gates and small deck fees.
Per person, excluding accommodation. Guided days and transfers add to the range.
Keep children inside rail lines at decks and bridges, dress modestly in religious interiors, phones on silent in museum rooms, and swim only in marked zones.
Use private transfers between bases and guided day trips; the rest is on foot, tram, taxi and cable car.
Drop the Jajce stop and run Sarajevo to Mostar to Bihać then back to Sarajevo.
Add Kozara forest loops from Banja Luka between Bihać and Sarajevo.
Swap Kravica for a house museum in Mostar, keep deck time short, and use a second Sarajevo museum pair.
No. Stay in Bihać for at least one night to enjoy platforms and bridges at a family pace.
Sarajevo to Mostar about 2 to 2.5 hours; Mostar to Jajce about 2.5 to 3 hours; Jajce to Bihać about 2 to 2.5 hours; Bihać to Sarajevo about 4.5 to 5 hours.
Yes on flat park paths, city cores and many decks. Use a carrier for steps in Počitelj and parts of old towns.
At Kravica in season and only inside roped zones. Never near falls or outside marked areas.
No. Use private transfers between bases and guided day trips from each base; city days run on foot, tram, taxi and cable car.
