ABOUT THIS ROUTE

The route in detail

The Boračko Lake Ride is the easiest full-day motorcycle escape from Sarajevo into Herzegovina. The line runs southwest over the Tarčin plateau, drops through the Bjelašnica foothills to Konjic — the Neretva town with the famous old bridge — and then climbs the quiet Borač valley to Boračko jezero, a glacial lake set in a green amphitheatre at the foot of Prenj. The lake road is narrow and calm after Konjic, with swimming and lakeside food stops in season. The return is the same line; riders wanting more can extend towards the Bjelašnica roads. Check road works around Konjic and lake access in the shoulder season.
