The ruins of Topana Fortress by the blue lake are definitely worth seeing. We didn't have to pay anything.

Super good experience camping here. You can refill your water and even charge your batteries. (If you're lucky they'll invite you to dinner) Recommended.

Small border post between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, where it is possible to pass without living in the region. Some borders, the smaller ones, are reserved for locals and you will be refused entry from one side or the other. No expectations at this one, small and without cars during my visit. Note that by bike, it is not necessary to queue and that you can overtake cars when the queue is too long.

A few hundred meters from Lake Buško, the eco-village of Grabovica makes for a nice stopover. Both a hotel and a restaurant, you will find rooms at a very reasonable price, traditional comforting cuisine, but also a small zoo.

Beautiful view of Lake Buško, which is also the largest artificial reservoir in Europe. From the main road, many small paths lead down to beaches, from where it is easy to swim. The lake, which rises to an altitude of 716 meters, has an area of 56 square kilometers. It is still relatively untouched by tourism, but you will find good quality and reasonably priced dining and accommodation options on its banks.

Very pretty road which goes up towards Aržano, just before the border between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. The view of the Janjina Draga valley is magnificent, especially at sunset. Be careful of the dogs which are quite large and which guard the houses on the Croatian side, I had a few scares...

An impressive crater with a lake at its base. A path leads down to the water. Swimming is supposedly possible in the lake, but we didn't because of an approaching thunderstorm. Entry costs 40 Kuna and includes the Blue Lake, the Red Lake, and the Topana Fortress; it's valid for several days.
