when you're walking around to broth neck
you can't help but notice the incredible
mountainscapes
and natural landscapes that surround the
city and a great way to get up and
explore this terrain is to go mountain
biking so today I'm going to meet Tommy
who's gonna take me off on a little
adventure in nice to meet you
nice to meet you you must be loose yeah
and you're Tommy I'm Tommy
so here's your bike can you helmet tell
let's go right perfect thank you
I'm cycling alongside the border between
Bosnia and Croatia but not so long ago
even just as far back as 1991 these
mountainous landscapes behind me would
have been one of the front lines during
the Yugoslav wars thankfully these days
the land mines have been cleared and the
landscapes are flourishing
this is a French fortification system to
protect Dubrovnik from invaders built
during the beginning of a 19th century
so there are city walls even outside the
city yeah yeah you may find similar
fortifications around especially in this
aerial search
it's breathtaking cycling along these
roads and not just because of the
exercise the views when you come soaring
down the valleys it literally is like
you're flying over these landscapes with
the breeze in your face it's so
refreshing
[Music]
you're so tell me about where we are now
we are now super duper ajka and this is
a monastery of self isn't and it's such
a peaceful place to stop it's very calm
yeah it is it is yeah you know the
remarks always choose peaceful places
because they used to meditate here it's
nice because after the thrill of like
coming down all the slopes and the
curves and like wind rushing in your
face it's like it real contrast yeah
places everywhere are some kind
overdoing how to say surprises you know
what was amazing about this bike ride
was to one minute you're cycling through
these sweeping lush valleys and the next
you're pedaling through quaint tiny
little villages that have some
incredible ancient architecture and
really cool ruins outside the city there
is so much to see
you
[Music]
