Bosnia and Herzegovina is a small country in Southeast Europe, known for its rich tradition, delicious food and friendly people. In addition, thanks to its amazing and diverse nature, this country is a real small paradise for anyone who wants to embark on an adventure.
For all those craving for adrenaline or charms offered by the colorful nature, we have prepared a list of 5 outdoor adventures that will surely make you want to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina.
So let's dive into the list...
For all those who crave for a dose of adrenaline in controlled conditions, a gyrocopter flight over Sarajevo is the perfect choice.
A gyrocopter is a hybrid between a helicopter and an airplane - an open aircraft with two seats. The rotor of the gyrocopter is always in auto-rotation, so it is not driven by the engine but by the air flow, which is why it can continue to fly and land safely even in the event of engine failure.
Thanks to the minimum speed of 35 km/h (and up to 120 km/h cruise speed), the flight in gyrocopter over Sarajevo can become an incredible panoramic experience of getting to know the city and its surroundings from a completely different perspective.
The flight is organized by the FUNFLY team and accompanied by their pilot. The price of the flight varies depending on the flight duration, and everything is arranged according to the wishes of the passenger. This flight can be a liberating experience and a great choice for overcoming the fear of heights and flying.
If you are still in doubt whether this experience is the right choice for you, we think that the video of this adventure below will completely convince you to soar among the clouds and breathe life into your lungs.
