This section from the border to Zavala (or alternatively from Trebinje) is well paved and easy to ride. Be aware there are still land mines in this area, be very careful if wild camping. Also take care if exploring abandoned buildings — look for OK or MINE painted on them as some were booby trapped and are yet to be cleared.

The Church of the Holy Trinity, located on Aleja Svetog Save in Banja Luka, is an impressive Orthodox church that is considered a testament to the rich spiritual heritage of the region.

Banja Luka's City Hall, now located in the former Banski Dvor, is an important municipal building. It is located on the square between the Banski Dvor and the city hall. Originally, the Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1925 and destroyed in World War II, stood on this site. The City Hall is a modern building that houses the city administration. It is an important symbol of Banja Luka, the second-largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Banja Luka is located in the north of the country and is a center of the Republika Srpska. In addition to the City Hall, Banja Luka offers other attractions, including the Kastel Fortress, the Orthodox Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the natural hot spring bath.

Banja Luka has a reputation as a true gourmet paradise, offering an incredible array of culinary delights. In addition to its chic restaurants, Banja Luka is also known for its numerous clubs and bars, which contribute to the city's vibrant nightlife.

One of the best starting points for a journey of discovery is the old Kastel Fortress, which is also one of the oldest buildings in the city. This beautiful fortress is located on the left bank of the Vrbas River and is one of the most important buildings in Banja Luka. Its exact age has not yet been determined. However, it is believed that the settlement of Kastra was already located here in Roman times. Its expansion into a heavily fortified fortress with defensive towers began in the 15th century under Ferhat Pasa Sokolovic. After the Ottomans, the Austrians took over the fortress, and during World War II, it was even used by the German Wehrmacht. The fortress complex is located on a vast site that, in addition to the bastions and defensive towers, includes a large park and a restaurant. In summer, the Kastel is a popular destination for relaxing or picnicking in the beautiful surroundings of the Vrbas River. Numerous festivals and events also take place here during the summer months.

The Ferhat Pasha Mosque, better known as the Ferhadija Mosque, stood in the center of Banja Luka until its destruction in 1993 and was one of the finest examples of 16th-century Ottoman-Islamic architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been rebuilt and is a protected monument.

It's a lovely place to stroll through the pleasant pedestrian zone. Many shops and cafés invite you to explore and linger. What's particularly striking here is the friendly nature of the people.

With the Cathedral of St. Bonaventura, Banja Luka boasts a rarity in Bosnia. Built in the 1970s, the church is one of only four Catholic cathedrals in the entire country. It, too, was severely damaged during the Bosnian War, but has been restored to its former glory since 2001. The bell tower is particularly striking. Its staircase winds upwards like a spiral. A statue of Jesus in front of the main entrance seems to urge visitors to come. Today, the church is the seat of the Catholic bishop of Bosnia.
