Part I

Internal Dinarides - field trip start from Zagreb to Dubrovnik through Bosnia and Herzegovina (Includes: 2 nights with meals and accommodation; first night at Slavonski Brod and the second at Žepče near Sarajevo, + excursion guidebook for both part I and II)

Finally after 5 months long patiently waiting (due to bad weather conditions) our small team has got opportunity to visit outcrops along valleys of river Bosna and river Neretva and prepare route for the field trip.
