Svi oni koji žele uživati u prirodi i predivnom krajoliku često tu dolaze. Vrelo se sastoji od više malih otočića povezanih mostovima preko brojnih manjih potoka koji kasnije formiraju rijeku Bosnu. Prisustvo vode ljeti snižava temperaturu zraka, a bujna vegetacija i svježi povjetarac s Igmana, doživljaji su koji pružaju svakom posjetitelju ugođaj koji se ne zaboravlja. Stoga nije ni čudo što je omiljeno mjesto za izlet.
U parku je moguće vidjeti dosta životinja: patki, guski i labudova, a tu su i druge zanimljivosti: višekilometarski drvored kojim voze „fijakeri“, restorani i igrališta za djecu, vrelo Stojčevac, vrelo Borin, podzemne termalne i termomineralne vode Ilidže, parkovski prostori, banje, arheološko nalazište i nekropole u selu Vrutci i austro-ugarske vile. Pored svih građevina, na ovom prostoru priroda je čovjeku pružila puno te tu se, ipak, može osjetiti i dah netaknute zemlje.
Kako je Ilidža dobila ime?
Većina arheoloških nalazišta te povijesnih dokumenata jasno govore da je područje Ilidže, smještene u dnu Sarajevskog polja, bilo od početka kulturni načina života čovjeka, te rado birano mjesto za smještaj naselja. Ipak je tek prodor Osmanlija dao ovom prostoru “pravo ime“ i potvrdio njegov potencijal. To i nije čudno, kada se uzme u obzir kako je voda igrala bitnu ulogu u islamskoj kulturi koja je postala dominantna na ovim prostorima nakon pada Bosne pod osmansku vlast.
Spoj pradavne kulturne baštine i nove osmanlijske kulture kulminira nastankom Ilidže kao stalnog ljudskog naselja. Bit tog prostora ništa bolje ne označava od samog imena kojeg su Osmanlije dale ovom mjestu: Ilidža. To ime dolazi od riječi iladž što je stara turska riječ za ono što daje čovjeku zdravlje. Tu se potpuno ispunjava smisao stare latinske izreke Nomen est omen. To ime, dakle, naglašava kako je riječ o zdravom mjestu, o prostoru koji nudi zdrav život i zdravlje kao rezultat utjecaja okoline na čovjeka.
Ovo svojstvo izuzetne ljekovitosti, koje je s pravom pripisivano lokaciji današnjeg naselja Ilidža, odnosilo se naročito na njegove bogate i raznovrsne termalne vode, koje su oduvijek smatrane osobito ljekovitim, o čemu najbolje svjedoči činjenica da su i Rimljani na tom mjestu izgradili terme.
Brojne rječice i čisti zrak
Treba, međutim, imati na umu da nije ljekovita voda, koja izlazi iz brojnih obilnih izvora tople i sumporovite vode, ono jedino što Ilidži daje svojstvo mjesta koje liječi. Kao naselje i lokalitet koji obiluje ljekovitim i tekućim vodama, Ilidža je zemljopisno postavljena skoro u središte Sarajevskog polja i u odnosu na vijenac okolnih planina.
Taj vijenac čine planine: Igman, Bjelašnica, Treskavica, Trebević, Jahorina, Romanija i Zvijezda, dakle, gotovo sve bosanske planine središnjeg položaja. Sve one, s bogatim šumama, predstavljaju nepresušne izvore najčišćeg planinskog zraka. Njihova su visoka polja i porozni krečnjački sastav mjesto iz kojeg nastaju čiste planinske pitke vode, koje se sve sastaju u neposrednoj okolini Ilidže, što cijelu ovu dolinu, a osobito njezinu središnju točku, odnosno samo današnje naselje Ilidžu, čini nadasve blagotvornim i pogodnim mjestom za naseljavanje.
U rijeku Bosnu se, u mjestu Ilidža ili nešto niže od njega, ulijevaju rijeke Željeznica i Miljacka, kojima se pridružuju brojne manje rječice i potoci, kao što su: Moštanica, Tilava, Dobrinja...
Administrativna jedinica uprave Ilidža
U administrativnom pogledu općina Ilidža je jedna od devet općina Kantona Sarajevo i obuhvaća njegovo jugozapadno područje. Nalazi se na 499 metara nadmorske visine, a najviša točka teritorija općine je Crni Vrh s 1504 metara. Prostire se u samom podnožju planine Igman na središnjem dijelu važnog magistralnog pravca, spajajući se na sjeveru sa srednjom Europom, a na jugu izlazeći na Jadransko more.
Ilidža je reintegrirana u Kanton Sarajevo i Federaciju BiH 12. ožujka 1996., a procijenjene ratne materijalne štete su bile ogromne. Na dan reintegracije zatečeni su potpuno devastirani stambeni objekti, infrastruktura, veliki broj raseljenih, nezaposlenih, socijalno nezbrinutih. Sada je većina stambenog fonda obnovljena, a stalno nastaju nove zgrade koje pokazuju koliko je prostor Ilidže traženo mjesto za život.
Do 1992. površina teritorija općine bila je 16 946 hektara. Daytonskim sporazumom dio teritorija pripao je Republici Srpskoj, tako da sada područje općine obuhvaća površinu od 14 950 hektara, odnosno 84,8 % prijeratne površine. Na teritoriju ove općine danas postoje brojne tvrtke što u pomaže razvoju čitavog kantona.
Poznato sarajevsko izletište
Pored svega spomenutoga, Ilidža je, ipak, najpoznatija po Vrelu Bosne i Velikom drvoredu. Za poseban ugođaj tu su „fijakeri“ u kojima se treba provozati, iako su skupi (čak 15 KM po vožnji).
U razgovoru s jednim od kočijaša saznali smo da postoji dana kada vozači „fijakera“ nemaju vremena za odmore. Zbog turista i dijaspore cijena vožnje je porasla, međutim, ljudi se i dalje voze. Prema podacima s turističkog info-panoa na početku Velike aleje tradicija vožnje kočijama na Ilidži održava se više od 120 godina. Kočije se nisu vozile samo za vrijeme ratnih sukoba, a od 1995. vožnja drvoredom je obnovljena na radost brojnih turista.
Na Vrelu se možete napiti bistre ledene vode iz rijeke Bosne. U posljednje vrijeme priča se o zagađenju izvorišta, pa se samo hrabri usuđuju napiti izravno s izvora. Ne znamo je li zagađenje stvarno ili je samo propaganda opskrbljivača flaširane izvorske vode. Međutim, primijetili smo kako mnogi ne mogu odoljeti i napiju se.
Na Vrelu Bosne se često mogu vidjeti i umjetnici sa svojim kolonijama. U miru i hladu slikaju svoja umjetnička djela i ne osvrću se na svijet oko sebe i prolaznike koji ih zagledaju.
Nebriga za okolinu i nezakonita gradnja su stalni problemi
Nažalost, nije sve sjajno. Mnogi ljudi koji ovdje dolaze na izlete iza sebe ostavljaju hrpe smeća i nije ih briga što uništavaju ovo izletište. Međutim, to je naša realnost. Dokle god kazne ne budu dovoljno velike „da se zamanta“, tako će se ponašati većina ljudi. Ipak smo na Balkanu. Neki izletnici, čini se, nemaju naviku pokupiti ostatke za sobom. Zaboravljaju kako bi se mogli ponovno vratiti.
Kako navode na web-stranicama KJKP Park Sarajevo, najgore je na Vrelu Bosne za „prvosvibanjske praznike“. Tada se dogodi da bude odvezeno i po šest kamiona punih smeća.
Još jedan problem koji, možda, na prvu ruku nije uočljiv.
Stanje na području Vrela Bosne posljednjih godina kulminira nezakonitim radnjama i gradnjama u najužem prostoru koje je zaštićeno kao izvor pitke vode. Vrelo Bosne je vodozaštitna zona i spomenik prirode, a stanje narušavaju određeni ugostiteljski objekti. Pored trajnog oštećenja okoliša i njegovih ambijentskih vrijednosti takvo stanje može uzrokovati loš kvalitet pitke vode za građane glavnog grada.
Da bi se spriječilo zagađivanje, ali i nepoželjno ponašanje svih koji dođu na Vrelo Bosne, Ministarstvo prostornog uređenja i zaštite okoliša Kantona Sarajevo financira projekt postavljanja panoa s različitim obavijestima. Tako su na stablima istaknute obavijesti o zabrani paljenja vatre, plivanja, bacanja smeća i parkiranja automobila.
Međutim, postavljanje panoa nije jedini projekt koji resorno ministarstvo provodi na očuvanju i zaštiti jednog od najvećih sarajevskih izletišta. Izgradnja stajališta za „fijakere“ još je jedan od projekata koji će Vrelo Bosne učiniti ljepšim i, što je najvažnije, spriječiti zagađivanje vodozaštitne zone.
Izletište Stojčevac je u lošem stanju
Osim vrela Bosne obišli smo i Stojčevac, nekadašnje popularnije sarajevsko izletište. Prije rata nudio je brojne sadržaje svojim posjetiteljima, a danas predstavlja neiskorišteni i zapušteni komad zemlje. Na Stojčevac, koji je od središta Sarajeva udaljen 12 kilometara, može se doći iz pravca Ilidže, preko Sokolović Kolonije. To je i put koji smo mi koristili kako bismo stigli na odredište. Bujna vegetacija je krila sva ratna oštećenja na objektima te nesređenost situacije. Devastirani teniski tereni, te oštećeni betonski stolnoteniski stolovi podsjećaju kako je ovdje nekoć bilo vrlo živo. Razbacane boce od alkohola i sokova sugeriraju da je ovaj kraj poznat po dernecima.
Pri ulasku na parking dočekala nas je improvizirana rampa u vidu najlona koji sprečava ulazak automobilima i biciklistima. U razgovoru s radnikom naplate na rampi, saznali smo kako je situacija na Stojčevcu mnogo gora nego što smo mislili.
Zbog prepucavanja s upravom Vrela Bosne i nepostojanja jasne nadležnosti nad Stojčevcom, rastjerani su i preostali turisti. Uprava Vrela Bosne je samoinicijativno zabetonirala betonskim blokovima cestu kroz Stojčevac. Tako su otjerani i oni posljednji entuzijasti koji se žele odmoriti na ovom nekad prelijepom izletištu. Prema riječima našeg sugovornika, ranije je vikendom znalo biti i po stotinu automobila s izletnicima, a ovih dana ni deset.
Izgleda da danas nitko ne želi parkirati na ulazu u izletište i onda pješačiti, nego sve iz „pokućnica u auto, iz auta na livadu“.
I Tito je znao izabrati svoje izletište
Ni nama nije preostalo ništa drugo nego prošetati prema nekadašnjem Titovom odmorištu. Danas je ono u katastrofalnom izdanju. Na početku rata, za vrijeme bitke za Stojčevac 1992., potpuno je devastirano i opljačkano. Danas zjapi sablasno i pusto. Tek pokoji grafit i stara odjeća te pepeo od logorske vatre svjedoči da ovdje nekad prođu i zadrže se ljudi.
Zdanje je ogromno, kako i priliči nekadašnjem komunističkom diktaroru. Dijelovi odmorišta podsjećaju na vojarnu s prozorima koji su namješteni tako da vrlo lako mogu vršiti funkciju bunkera. Iza odmorišta nalazi se veliko sklonište čije stepenice nestaju u mraku nakon 20-ak metara, koliko svjetlost može dobaciti.
Cijeli prizor izgleda sablasno i podsjeća na slike s mjesta velikih “brodoloma“.
Nakon pomalo depresivnog Stojčevca na kojemu smo vidjeli samo desetak izletnika, odlučili smo se vratiti na Vrelo Bosne.
Budući da nismo znali smijemo li proći automobilom kroz drvored, odlučili smo doći na Vrelo Bosne iz pravca Blažuja.
Rimski most
Približavajući se kompleksu Vrela Bosne, nakon što smo prošli sve automobilske gužve, na Ilidži s lijeve strane ceste smo zapazili Rimski most. Nalazi se na danas napuštenom putu do magistrale koja vodi prema Blažuju. Rimski most je jedan od četiri stara kamena mosta na području Sarajeva, koji su još uvijek sačuvani. Ostala tri mosta su: Šeher-Ćehajina ćuprija, Latinska i Kozija ćuprija.
Ne zna se ništa o tome tko je naredio gradnju mosta, ni tko ga je zidao. Izgrađen je od klesanog kamena oko 1530. i oblikovan je kao niska polegla građevina na sedam lukova koji su visinski niži na krajevima i rastu prema sredini, pa tako vidimo karakterističan, blago ispupčen, oblik ovoga mosta. Njegova duljina je oko 40 metara, a širina 4,5 metara.
Postoji pretpostavka da je i u vrijeme Rimskog Carstva na istom mjestu stajao most i da je sadašnja građevina sazidana na temeljima prethodne, ali to nije dokazano. Ono što se zna je činjenica da je prilikom gradnje mosta materijal uziman i s kasnoantičkih objekata čije su ruševine ležale u blizini. Možemo vidjeti i neke zanimljive antičke reljefe uzidane u građevinu. To je sigurno i razlog zbog kojeg je most dobio sadašnje ime.
Prostor Vrela Bosne kao značajan hidrološki kolektor
Na ulazu u Vrelo Bosne vidjeli smo pano s osnovnim podacima. Površina koju obuhvaća ovaj ravničarski kompleks veličine je 603 hektara. Sam prostor izvorišta izvora Bosne bio je pod zaštitom od 1954., a nakon stručne analize cijelog prostora proglašeno je 2006. spomenikom prirode II. kategorije, prema Međunarodnoj klasifikaciji unije za zaštitu prirode (IUCN).
Prostor Vrela Bosne kao značajan hidrološki kolektor s iznimnim različitim životinjskim vrstama i očuvanim pejzažnim i povijesnim karakteristikama, zoniran je sukladno međunarodnim kriterijima u dvije zone: Prva zona (nukleus) s površinom od 54,5 ha, obuhvaća izvorište rijeke Bosne i rijeku Bosnu od izvora do kanala sa značajnim stupnjem raznolikosti flore i faune i parkovnim površinama.
Druga zona površine 548,50 ha, obuhvaća prostor slivnog područja izvora u podnožju Igmana s velikom hidrološkom raznolikošću.
Sve što je potrebno modernom čovjeku, a to je netaknuta okolina, ljekovite vode, planinski zrak i vode, izleti i razne vrste planinarenja, te lov i ribolov, sve se to nalazi na dohvat ruke, može se reći, u krugu od najviše desetak kilometara.
Kad se tome doda i blizina samog grada Sarajeva, s njegovim brojnim kulturnim i povijesnim spomenicima, tada se vidi koliko je Ilidža vrijedno i blagotvorno mjesto i koliko mnogo ono pruža modernom čovjeku.
Poznato je da ljudi nikada ne znaju dovoljno cijeniti ono što im je blisko te ne zapažaju ono što im je pred očima i na dohvat ruke, a sanjaju o nečemu dalekom za što misle da je mnogo bolje. Posjet Vrelu Bosne nas je uvjerio kako su prirodne ljepote tu na dohvat ruke.
Što je spomenik prirode?
To je područje s jednom ili više specifičnih prirodnih/kulturnih karakteristika od izuzetne ili jedinstvene vrijednosti zbog svojih prirodnih, reprezentativnih ili estetskih osobina ili kulturne važnosti. Spomenici prirode utvrđuju se s ciljem zaštite ili očuvanja trajnih prirodnih karakteristika od izuzetne važnosti, jedinstvene ili značajne kvalitete i/ili spiritualnog značenja u skladu s određenim ciljevima, pružanja mogućnosti za znanstvena istraživanja, obrazovanje, interpretaciju i procjenu od strane javnosti; otklanjanja i sprečavanja eksploatacije ili posjeta koje mogu dovesti do promjene i oštećenja prirode; omogućavanja povlastica stanovništvu koje živi na tom području i koje su u skladu s ciljevima upravljanja.

Bosnia Spring - an escape from the crowds of Sarajevo
Bosnia Spring is the collective name for several places where springs
one of the most famous rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Bosnia. Located on
the outskirts of Sarajevo, in Ilidza, in the southwest of Sarajevo plain, at
the foot of Mount Igman. For the people of Sarajevo and visitors from the
region, this is the source of one of the most important tourist attraction and
pleasure.
All those who want to enjoy nature and the beautiful landscape that
often come. Spring is made up of several small islands connected by bridges
over the numerous smaller streams that later formed the river Bosna. The
presence of water lowers the air temperature and the lush vegetation and the
fresh breeze from the Igman, experiences are that provide every visitor an
atmosphere that can not be forgotten. So no wonder it is a favorite spot for a
picnic.
In the park it is possible to see a lot of animals: ducks, geese and
swans, and there are other interesting facts: kilometers long avenue that drive
"carriages", restaurants and playgrounds for children, spring
Stojčevac, spring Borin, underground thermal and thermo-mineral waters of
Ilidza, a park spaces , spas, archaeological and necropolis in the village
Vrutci and Austrian villas. In addition to all the buildings in this area
nature it provided a lot and there are, nevertheless, can feel the breath of
untouched land.
As Ilidža named?
Most archaeological sites and
historical documents clearly show that the area of Ilidza, located at the
bottom of the Sarajevo plain, was the beginning of a cultural way of life of
man, and gladly chosen location for the settlement. Yet the only breakthrough
of the Ottomans gave this region, "real name" and confirmed its potential.
This is not surprising when you take into account that water played an
important role in Islamic culture that has become dominant in the region after
the fall of Bosnia under Ottoman rule.
Compound ancient cultural heritage and new Ottoman culture culminates
in the creation of Ilidza a permanent human settlement. The essence of this
space is not any better than the name itself indicates that the Ottomans gave
this place: Ilidza. This name comes from the word iladž the old Turkish word
for what a man's health. There is a fully meet the meaning of the old Latin
saying Nomen est omen . The name, therefore, stresses that it is a healthy
place, a space that offers a healthy life and health as a result of
environmental influences on man.
This feature exceptional healing properties, which is rightly
attributed to the site of today's settlement Ilidza, referring in particular to
its rich and diverse thermal water, which has always been regarded as
particularly healing, which is best evidenced by the fact that the Romans built
at this site spa.
Numerous rivers and clean air
It should, however, keep in mind that it is not healing water that
comes out of the many abundant sources of hot and sulphurous water, the only
thing Ilidži a feature of which treated. As a settlement, and the site that is
rich medicinal and running water, Ilidza is geographically positioned almost in
the center of Sarajevo field and in relation to the crown of the surrounding
mountains.
The crown consists of mountains
Igman, Bjelasnica, Treskavica, Trebevic, Jahorina, Romanija and the Stars,
therefore, almost all of the Bosnian mountains central position. All of them,
with forests, representing the inexhaustible resources of the purest mountain
air. Their high fields and porous limestone composition of the place from which
arise clear mountain drinking water, which all meet in the vicinity of Ilidza,
as this whole valley, especially its center point, or just today's settlement
Ilidžu seems extremely beneficial and suitable place for settlement.
The Bosna river is, in Ilidza or below it, and the flow of the river
Miljacka Trains, which are joined by a number of smaller rivers and streams,
such as: Moštanica Tilava, Dobrinja ...
Administrative Unit Administration Ilidza
In administrative terms Ilidža is one of the nine municipalities of
Sarajevo Canton and includes its southwest region. It is located at 499 meters
above sea level and the highest point of the territory of the municipality is
Black Top with 1504 meters. It extends to the foot of Mount Igman in the
central part of the important main road, connecting the north with Central
Europe, and in the south by going to the Adriatic Sea.
Ilidza is reintegrated in Sarajevo Canton and the Federation on 12
March 1996, and the estimated war damage to property were huge. On the day of
reintegration are caught completely devastated housing facilities,
infrastructure, large numbers of displaced, unemployed, socially vulnerable.
Now most of the housing stock renovated and constantly arising new buildings that
show how much space is required Ilidže place to live.
By 1992 the surface of the territory of the municipality was 16 946
hectares. Dayton Accords of the territory belonged to the Republic of Serbian,
so now the area of the municipality covers an area of 14 950 hectares, or
84.8% of pre-war areas. On the territory of the municipality, today there are
numerous companies which assist in the development of the entire Canton.
Sarajevo's famous resort
In addition to everything mentioned, Ilidza is, however, best known for
the Spring of Bosnia and Grand avenue. For a special atmosphere there are
"carriages" in which the need for a ride, although expensive (up to
15 KM per ride).
In an interview with one of the coachmen, we found out that there days
when drivers "carriages" have no time to rest. Because tourists and
Diaspora fare is increased, however, people are still driving. According to the
tourist info-boards at the beginning of the Great avenue tradition of driving
carriages in Ilidza held more than 120 years. Carriages not driving only during
the war, and since 1995 tree-lined drive is restored to the delight of many
tourists.
On the source, you can drink clear of ice water from the river Bosna.
Lately story about pollution sources, and only the brave dare to drink directly
from the source. We do not know whether the pollution really is just propaganda
or supplier of bottled spring water. However, we noticed that many can not
resist and was drunk.
On the Source of Bosnia are often seen and artists with their colonies.
In peace and shade paint their art and not back to the world around her and
passersby who stared them.
Not caring for the environment and illegal construction are constant
problems
Unfortunately, not all great. Many people who come here to the city
leave behind piles of garbage, and they do not care what destroyed this resort.
However, it is our reality. As long as the penalties are not big enough
"to Amante", so it will behave most people. Yet we in the Balkans.
Some vacationers, it seems, do not have the habit to pick up the remains
behind. They forget how to be able to come back again.
As stated on the website KJKP Park Sarajevo, the worst is the Source of
Bosnia for the "Labor Day weekend." Then it happens to be taken away
and six trucks full of garbage.
Another problem, perhaps, at the first instance is not visible.
Status of the Source of Bosnia in recent years culminating in illegal
activities and constructions in the immediate area which is protected as a
source of drinking water. Bosnia Spring's water protection zone and a natural
monument , a state violate certain restaurants. In addition to permanent damage
to the environment and its ambijentskih value of such a situation can cause
poor quality of drinking water for the citizens of the capital.
To prevent contamination, as well as undesirable behavior of all who
come from all sides, the Ministry of Physical Planning and Environment of
Canton Sarajevo funded project to install the panels with different
notifications. So the trees prominent notices prohibiting the Fire, swimming,
littering and parking cars.
However, the setting up of panels was not the only project that the
line ministry carried out to preserve and protect one of the largest in
Sarajevo resorts. Building stop for the "hacks" is another of the
projects that will make Bosnia Spring beautiful and, most importantly, prevent
pollution of water protection zones.
Excursion Stojčevac is in poor condition
Besides the springs we visited Bosnia and Stojčevac, once popular Sarajevo
resort. Before the war, offered a number of facilities to its visitors, and
today is unused and neglected piece of land. On Stojčevac, who is from the
center of Sarajevo, 12 kilometers away, can be reached from the direction of
Ilidza, over Sokolovic Colony. This is the way that we used in order to reach
their destination. The rich vegetation of the wings all the war damage to
buildings and the unclear situation. Devastated tennis courts, and damaged
concrete table tennis tables remind that here used to be very lively. Scattered
bottles of alcohol and juice suggest that this region is known for Partying.
When entering the parking lot we were welcomed with a makeshift ramp in
the form of nylon that prevents the entry of cars and cyclists. In a conversation
with an employee of collection on the ramp, we found out that the situation in
Stojcevac much worse than we thought.
Because of bickering with the administration Source of Bosnia and lack
of clear responsibilities over Stojcevac, are dispersed and the remaining
tourists. Management Source of Bosnia's own initiative cemented concrete blocks
road through Stojčevac. So they cast off and they last enthusiasts who want to
relax on this once beautiful resort. According to our interlocutor, before the
weekend and was known to be a hundred cars with hikers, and these days even
ten.
It seems that today no one wants to park at the entrance to the resort
and then hike, but all the "pokućnica in the car, from the car to the
pasture."
Tito knew how to choose resort
Neither of us had no choice but to walk towards the former Tito's
landing. Today it is in a catastrophic release. At the beginning of the war,
during the battle for Stojčevac 1992, completely devastated and looted. Today
gaping eerie and deserted. Only a few graffiti and old clothes and ashes of a
campfire testifies that once passed here and retain people.
The building is huge, as befits a former communist diktaroru. Parts
landing reminiscent of the barracks with windows that were set so that can easily
serve as a bunker. Behind the rest area, the large shelter whose steps
disappear in the dark after 20 meters, how much light can be thrown.
The whole scene looks eerily reminiscent of the photographs of the
great "shipwreck".
After a little depressed Stojcevac in which we see only a dozen hikers,
we decided to go back to Bosnia Spring.
Since we did not know if we're allowed to go by car through the alley,
we decided to come from all sides of the direction of Blažuj.
Roman Bridge
Approaching the complex Source of Bosnia, after we've been through all
automobile traffic, on Ilidza on the left side of the road, we noticed the
Roman bridge . It is on this day deserted road to the main road that leads to
the Blazuj . Roman Bridge is one of four old stone bridge in Sarajevo, which
are still preserved. The other three bridges are: Šeherćehaja bridge , Latin
and Goat Bridge .
We do not know anything about who ordered the construction of a bridge,
or who it was built. It was built of carved stone around 1530 and is designed
as a low-lying buildings on seven arches that are lower height on the ends and
grow toward the center, so we see the distinctive, slightly convex, the shape
of this bridge. Its length is about 40 meters, a width of 4.5 meters.
There is an assumption that at the time of the Roman Empire in the same
place stood the bridge and that the current building was built on the
foundations of the previous one, but it has not been proven. What is known is
that during the construction of the bridge material is taken late antique
objects whose ruins lay nearby. We can see some interesting ancient reliefs
built into the structure. This is certainly the reason why the bridge got its
current name.
Space Source of Bosnia as an important hydrological collector
At the entrance of Bosnia Spring we saw a billboard with basic
information. The area, which includes the complex plain size is 603 hectares.
The space itself is the source of origin of Bosnia was under protection since
1954, and after analysis of the entire area was declared a natural monument in
2006. II. categories, according to the International Classification Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Space Source of Bosnia as an important hydrological collector with an
exceptional variety of animal species and preserved landscape and historic
features, zoned in accordance with international criteria in two zones: the
first zone (nucleus) with an area of 54.5 hectares, comprises the spring of
river Bosna and Bosna River from the source to the channel with a significant
degree of diversity of flora and fauna and park spaces.
The second zone of the surface of 548.50 hectares, covers an area
catchment sources at the foot of Mount Igman with great hydrological diversity.
All you need modern man, and that is untouched environment, the healing
waters, mountain air and the water, trips and various types of hiking, fishing,
and hunting, all located within easy reach, so to speak, within a maximum of
ten kilometers .
When we add the proximity of the city of Sarajevo, with its cultural
and historical monuments, then see how Ilidza valuable and beneficial place and
how much it has to offer the modern man.
It is known that people never know enough to appreciate what they
closely observed and not what they were in his eyes and on your fingertips and
dreaming about something distant for what they think is a lot better. A visit
to the Spring of Bosnia has assured us that the natural beauty here at your
fingertips.
