Walk to the Jajce fortress (in Sarajevo)
Oui je sais, vous allez me dire: c'est un blog qui parle d'un stage d'éco-agrotourisme, et on n'entend parler que de la ville de Sarajevo! Le fait est que c'est là que j'habite, et donc que j'y passe la plupart de mon temps; de plus c'est une ville très intéressante qui permet une approche de la Bosnie-Herzégovine assez complète, que ce soit entre ses murs ou ses environs (puisque la transition vers la campagne est très marquée)...
Et ce week-end je suis restée à Sarajevo puisque je ne savais pas que le temps allait tourner au beau aujourd'hui!
J'en ai profité pour retourner au promontoire du quartier Vratnik, également appelé Bastion Jaune (Zuta tabija), et continuer dans les hauteurs du quartier jusqu'à atteindre la porte nord-est de la ville, et la forteresse Jajce (que j'avais aperçue le week-end dernier depuis le cimetière musulman Alifakovac).
La vue de là-haut est saisissante! Un 360° que je vais vous faire partager, avec une réelle coupure intra- et extra-muros!
Yes I know, you'll tell me: well, it is a blog about an internship in the eco-agrotourism field, and what we hear about is mainly Sarajevo city! The fact is that it is where I live, and so where I spend most of my time; plus, this is a very interesting city which give a quite complete approach of Bosnia-Herzegovina, wether it is in its inside or in its surroundings (since the town makes neatly way for countryside)...
And this week-end I stayed in Sarajevo cause I didn't know the weather was going to turn so sunny today!
I took this chance for returning to the promontory in Vratnik district, also called the Yellow Bastion (Zuta tabija), and to continue my way up-hill, until the north-east city gate, and the Jajce fortress (which I saw last week-end from the Alifakovac Muslim cemetery).
Up-there the view point is impressing! A 360° panorama that I will share with you, showing a real cut intra- or extra-muros!
First stop: the Yellow Bastion (Promontory in Vratnik district) where a cat seemed meditating... :
Then I walked up-hill to the north-east of Vratnik distric, and saw traditional houses (at least I think they are):
And arrived at the top of the street, I turned on the right, and took these two pictures:
You can see the medieval gate, and the wall marking
neatly the inside and the outside of Sarajevo city.

And, on my way back, I walked in the uppest street in Vratnik district
north-east part (there are lots of very poor homes...),
and could see the Jajce fortress from above:
