Travel ideas for Bosnia & Herzegovina - unique sights, worth Guinness records

Today, the Bosnian pyramids are considered a pseudo-scientific sensation that has shattered the world about ten years ago. The unique geological formations, located in the surroundings of Visoko, have attracted researchers from all over the world. These are the huge pyramid-shaped green hills covered with forest. The explorers, inspired by the discovery, have assumed that the hills conceal the largest pyramids in the world, called the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon.
The Visotitsa hill, which consists of two pyramid-shaped heights, is regarded as a unitary geological formation. Its height is 213 meters. After extensive research, the scientists have confirmed that the hill was created by the natural forces and the human being did not participate in his education. Nevertheless, there are still the followers of the original version of the pyramid origin, as well as the amateur researcher Semir Osmanagitsch.
In 2006, the great archaeological research began under his direction. After the excavations the Bosnian pyramids were graded. The researchers claimed that they were discovering the secret tunnel and the entrances into the pyramid during the excavations. However, there is no documented proof of their scientific achievements. The incredible theory of Semir Osmanagitsch is confirmed by the fact that the sides of the pyramid hill are exactly aligned to the directions of the heavens, which makes it similar to the legendary Egyptian pyramids and the pyramids of Maya. ...

The unusual monument became known to the world thanks to the unique work of the famous Belgian photographer Jan Kempenars. This monument was erected in memory of the Battle of Kozara. The Battle of Kozara was one of the bloodiest for Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Second World War. German troops managed to destroy about 1,700 partisans during this battle. Almost the same number of them were sent to concentration camps. The competition for the design of this monument, which is symbolic for the country, was announced in 1969. Architect Dusan Dzamonja became its winner.
The construction of the unusual monument was fully completed in 1972. It has a non-standard cylindrical shape. Vertical segments form the structure of the monument. They are made of steel. Such a structure has a very symbolic meaning. As the author of the project explains, all the voids in the monument symbolize death. They are kind of symbols of enemy forces. Outstanding blocks are a symbol of life and victory.
The memorial wall is located nearby. It is an important part of the monument. The names of all the Yugoslav partisans who died during the war were engraved on it. An interesting museum is open on the territory of the Memorial Complex today. It is dedicated to the difficult wartime for the country. Experienced tourists note that it is more interesting to admire the monument in the summer. Dense green vegetation covers the top of the mountain at this time. The tall monument looks simply unique against its background. It is especially interesting to admire it from a height, during helicopter walks. ... Complete sights collection
