Tonight, I lay my head to rest in Montenegro, just across the Bosnian border! Impressive, even absolutely stunning, long and hot day, riding 189 km from Sarajevo with 2200 meter of total elevation gain through the mighty Dinaric Alps in Republica Srpska, one of the two autonomous regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I was overwhelmed and deeply touched by the vastness, the tranquillity, the unspoiled naturalness and purity of this country. May it last forever like this, I desperately mumbled. Though on the exact same moment I also wondered if I myself am not the forerunner of a tourist invasion about to come, and that's a feeling hard to cope with for me. As more visitors will discover this area, somehow it also will be demistyfied. The secrets of the mountains and a sense of the unknown will be lost for good, and for which higher goal?
Only one picture today unfortunately, wifi is too slow to upload more, will post them tomorrow!
