Busovača between winter activities and cultural heritage

The Sulejman-begova Mosque in Busovača was first built in the 16th century. It was completely destroyed during the war and rebuilt in 2002. Busovača was first mentioned in written records on August 16, 1371. The documented history of the town therefore dates back to the Middle Ages.

Several religious buildings also shape the town’s cultural character. The Church of Saint Elias in Busovača was completed in 1968 and is just a short walk from the town center. A Catholic church in Busovača was completed in 1885. The Mesudija Tekija is divided into three floors; the tekija is located on the top floor. Visitors can also see stećci in the municipality of Busovača.

The town’s development is also linked to mining: Busovača grew around an iron ore mine where many Saxon miners worked. In the Middle Ages, Busovača was an important meeting place for merchants from Dubrovnik.

In the municipality of Busovača, the Pridolci Ski Center has two ski lifts serving two slopes and caters to beginners and recreational skiers. Visitors can rent ski equipment at the resort and hire ski instructors from the ski school.

Another perspective is offered by the “Staza stare pruge” (Old Rail Trail) cycling route. It runs through the municipality of Busovača and was created along the route of a former narrow-gauge railway from the Austro-Hungarian period. The route is considered an easy trail with predominantly gentle terrain and slight inclines. A section of the cycling route between Travnik and Busovača was recently repaired; the route is regularly maintained.

Tisovac, near the municipal center of Busovača, is considered a frequent starting point for tourist and recreational activities.

Busovača is located near the confluence of the Ivančica and Kozica rivers, with the Kozica being a tributary of the Lašva.

Visitor activities in the municipality also include a hunting ground on the Lašva River in Kaonik.

The Feast of Saint Anthony takes place in Busovača every year on June 13 and attracts visitors from other cities. The municipality has a decades-long tradition of good restaurants and high-quality cuisine featuring roasts and other specialties.
