About About the place

The Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track, located on Mount Trebević, stands as a striking testament to the city’s past. Originally constructed for the 1984 Winter Olympics, it served as a symbol of national pride and athletic achievement. During the Bosnian War, the track was utilized as a strategic military position, resulting in significant damage. Today, it lies largely abandoned, covered in graffiti, and slowly being reclaimed by nature. Despite its deteriorated state, the track remains a popular destination, offering panoramic views of Sarajevo and a unique opportunity for reflection on the city’s complex history.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited due to the track’s deteriorated condition and steep terrain. The hike to the track from the cable car station is challenging and not suitable for those with mobility issues. The track surface is uneven and covered in debris. It is not wheelchair accessible.

Kid friendly

The site is not particularly geared towards young children due to the uneven terrain and lack of safety barriers. Supervision is essential. There are no dedicated changing facilities or kid-specific activities.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally allowed, but owners are responsible for cleaning up after them and keeping them under control.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are limited food and beverage options directly at the track. A cafe is available at the top of the cable car station. Visitors are advised to bring their own water and snacks.
