I remember watching the 1984 Winter Olympics and seeing the bobsleigh teams racing on this work of art on top of a mountain overlooking the city of Sarajevo. Years later standing by the bobsleigh it was tinged with sadness knowing that the Serbs used this mountain as part of their bombardment during the Siege of Sarajevo in the early 1990s. The bobsleigh is sadly neglected and will require lots of investment to restore it to its former glory, which nobody can agree to. The view from the mountain is utterly takes your breath away.

A very poignant place to visit. Beautiful journey up the mountain with fantastic views of Sarajevo. Walking the track felt very post apocalyptic and it was hard to imagine it in 1984 full of athletes and spectators. The graffiti was stunning, I took so many photos. It makes quite a long walk but a thoroughly enjoyable one

If, like me you remember watching both the 1984 olympics and later the war, this is kind of one of the things you have to visit in Sarajevo. If you are doing it in summer, it's around 2.5 km down and 2.5km back in the heat so take plenty of water. Also if you are wanting to visit the Bistrik Fortress or other things on the mountain, its worth checking where they are as you don't want to get all the way down, head back up before realising what you want to see is actually at the bottom! Quite a lot of the sniper positions have been filled in so if you want to see them, you need to look at the back or explore up the side sections which were used as training runs.
