Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car from Eastern Bosnia, head towards Sarajevo. The most common route is to take the M18 highway towards Sarajevo. As you approach the city, follow signs for 'Centar' (City Center). Once in the city, look for the signs leading to the Bobsled Track. You will want to take the road leading up to the Trebević mountain. The bobsled track is located at the coordinates 43.839779, 18.4431884. You can use a GPS device or a navigation app to guide you directly to the location. Parking is available close to the bobsled track, but be mindful of local parking regulations.
-
Public Transportation
To reach the Sarajevo Abandoned Bobsled Track via public transportation, start by taking a bus from any major town in Eastern Bosnia to the city of Sarajevo. Once in Sarajevo, you can take tram number 3 from the city center towards 'Bistrik' and get off at the 'Bistrik' stop. From there, you will need to take a taxi or walk to the base of Trebević Mountain, as public transport does not go directly to the bobsled track. The distance from the tram stop to the track is approximately 3 kilometers, so a taxi would be the most convenient option, which should cost around 5-10 BAM (Bosnian Convertible Marks).
-
Taxi
If you prefer not to drive or use public transportation, you can hire a taxi directly from your location in Eastern Bosnia to the Sarajevo Abandoned Bobsled Track. Taxis are available in most towns and cities, and you can either flag one down or call a local taxi service. The fare will vary depending on your starting point, but expect to pay around 50-100 BAM, depending on the distance. Make sure to agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey.
