Gornje Pale: Jahorina
Few places in Republika Srpska have a history as closely tied to the 1984 Winter Olympics as Jahorina. This Dinaric Alps mountain above Pale staged the women’s alpine-skiing events when Sarajevo hosted the Games. Its highest summit, Ogorjelica, reaches 1,916 metres, and the broad upper slopes support a ski area developed around the Olympic venues. Jahorina belongs to the wider Sarajevo mountain belt, where wooded ridges and open high ground mark the transition between the city’s basin and the interior of eastern Bosnia. The mountain remains closely associated with alpine sport, while Pale is the principal nearby town and a base for exploring this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Republika Srpska extends from the Sava River on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s northern frontier to the Drina along much of its eastern border, encompassing Dinaric hills, broad river valleys and fertile northern plains. It is one of the country’s two entities, as set out by the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, and its territory is not continuous: a western area around Banja Luka is separated from the eastern portion. The Vrbas runs through Banja Luka, the entity’s administrative centre, where Kastel Fortress recalls the city’s long strategic position on the river. Orthodox churches, monasteries and family food traditions remain an important part of local identity. Browse nearby webcams to discover different parts of Republika Srpska.
