Kraljeva Sutjeska: Everything Katarina
So, 23. Sep. 2007, 11:22 in 'BiH'
Kraljeva Sutjeska is basically known for two things: the Franciscan Monastery and the Dusper house - the oldest typical house in Central Bosnia.
The monastery was built in the 14. century.
Apart from that and one the oldest mosque everything is Katarina. When the Ottaman conquered Bobovac Queen Katarina escaped to Rome and never saw her home country again. But the citizens of Kraljeva Sutjeska keep her name alive. A lot of places, people and items are named after the last Bosnian queen.
In the village
The driveway to the monastery
The monastery contains a museum and a library.
"The war hasn't happened in Kraljeva Sutjeska", the guide said. I wonder where this crater in the wall comes from. Fireworks?
The church has seen definitely better days.
There are little plates in the walls to show if the cracks are getting larger.
Dusper-house ...
... and Madonna protecting it.

Bobovac - As Green As Green Can Get
Fr, 21. Sep. 2007, 15:58 in 'BiH'
So let's wrap this up. Two more to go and we are done with Bosnia for 2007. I'll spare you the pics from the Sarajevo Film Festival, because right now I'm home sick and bored.
Bobovac. About an hour's drive from Sarajevo the shock absorbers of my car presumably ended their lives on the dirt track to the medieval remains of the Bobovac fortress. They did it gracefully.
Shock absorbers or not, I still had to walk 1,5 hours to reach the hill with the little chapel. It used to be a court and turned into a chapel dedicated to St. Michael in the 15th century.
It's a green walk. A nice and easy green walk. Anyone with two healthy legs can do it. Not as impressive as Sutjeska National Park, but nice for those who are into green.
Here you can see an drawing of the ancient Bobovac fortress that protected the Bosnian monarchs:
It must have been a not too small settlements in the mountains. What an effort to conquer it.

I regard this as an unobtrusive invitation to come back for some rock-climbing.

Fitzcarraldos Traum
Do, 20. Sep. 2007, 21:36 in 'A'
Die relationship liegt wieder im Hafen und was uns über Wasser hält, ist nicht nur die Verdrängung (frei nach Kutter), sondern auch das Land in Sicht.
Harte Arbeit hat Astrid in die Ausstellung "esperanto" gesteckt, die heute Abend im Brick 5 in 15., Fünfhausgasse 5 eröffnet wurde. Sehr zu empfehlen. Am 22. und 23.9. verkaufen die ausstellenden Künstler eigene Werke.
