Camping in Central Bosnia

Zenica sits on the river Bosna in the middle of the country. Around it are small towns with a long history. Kraljeva Sutjeska has a Franciscan monastery and a former royal court, and in the Middle Ages it was the seat of the Bosnian kings. Fojnica also has a Franciscan monastery, plus a thermal spa, and from there a gravel road climbs the Vranica to Prokoško jezero. The hills around Visoko are marketed as the “Bosnian pyramids”, while archaeologists consider them natural formations.

The places are scattered around Zenica. Near Vitez an auto camp sits next to a restaurant, in Fojnica there is a horse farm at the foot of the Vranica, and in Gornja Breza a site set in a nature garden. Near Vareš you stay at the foot of the Zvijezda range, with the royal fortress of Bobovac in the area. You can also camp near Visoko.

Within 40 km of Zenica you will find 6 places with contact details here. At 4 of them you send your request straight through Camplix. For the others you will find contact details from OpenStreetMap.
