TRANS DINARICA in CROATIA
The countdown continues to the launch (end of July) of the TransDinarica: the first route to connect the Western Balkans. This time we’re in , which has a lot more to offer than just beaches … namely beautiful mountains, culture, and people. Cycling is a wonderful way to take a deeper dive into this diverse country.

Croatia is known for its Adriatic coast and islands, but cycling in Croatia is more than that. The Trans Dinarica Cycle Route takes you away from the most vi...

Proudly announce that our colleague Samer Hajric has been spotlighted by Exodus Travels as the Leader of the Month.

"When you do what you love, it is easily visible and recognizable".
Thank you Exodus Adventure Travel!

Have you been to Bosnia & Herzegovina yet? Let us know below 👇

Today we're spotlighting our leader of the month! This month, we're shining a light on Samer Hajic, one of our leaders in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Find out more about Samer's story:

"I am originally from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo continues to be my home to this day. I'm a certified mountain guide by the Mountaineering Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina and UIAA standards (Official International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation, partner of the International Olympic Committee), and have a degree in Sociology. I've been guiding Exodus Travel mountain trips since 2006 (for 18 years now). When not leading trips, I am involved in the development of new outdoor adventure itineraries. My passion for the mountains and the rigours of the outdoors, combined with the warm-heartedness of the local people, left an indelible impression on me a long time ago. It will be my great pleasure to show you this part of the world and the area which holds a special place in my heart - the Dinaric Alps."

Do bears, wolves and lynx live in your favourite holiday hotspot?
They sure do live across the Dinaric Alps and Via Dinarica trail.

Even though these encounters can be frightening, only if you are really lucky, you will see them. In the major part of the Dinaric Alps, wildlife does not have much protection, so the wild animals are used to avoid contact with humans, probably the biggest predators of the Dinaric mountains.

We consider ourselves very lucky, knowing that bears, wolves, lynxes and many other forest creatures live in our mountains!

MailOnline Travel's interactive map shows where the predators live in Europe. It follows a recent bear attack which left two people hospitalised in Slovakia.

Thrilled about the inclusion of the TransDinarica Cycle Route, which connects the entire Western Balkans, in The Guardian's article: "Ethical and greener travel: the best new European trips for 2024." Sustainable discovery is a good thing.

Sipping biodynamic wines, hopping on new sleeper trains, improving habitats and planting trees are among our picks of breaks that will leave a positive imprint

The Trans Dinarica Cycle Route — linking Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Serbia — has been named to CNN's “Where to go in 2024: The best places to visit” list.

With international tourism nearly back to normal levels, it’s time to think a little differently about destinations. Here are 24 ideas for 2024.
