Ten Days in Bosnia: a scene in the mountains, 1895. 'From the Frontier to the Capital...At sunrise, we were up and at our carriage windows, and it was then that we began to realise how very little is known in the West of this land of forest and of mountain. We had now entered the valley of the Bosna. High above us were dome-shaped hills, often capped with virgin woods, vast heights ripe with rich greens, little mountains upon whose sides the white huts of the peasants recalled memories of the Tyrol and even of Switzerland...It is at once a country of mountains, a land touched with the pencil of the East, a State whose history comes vividly to your mind with every ruined fortress and high-placed citadel...The highest peak, Mount Trebevic, which is barer than its fellows, is nearly 6000 ft. high'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
