Bosnia has been hosting a music festival for years now in the Sutjeska National Park. Music and mountains—how could I not go? The festival runs for three whole days. Some people show up with tents and hang out the entire time, but one day was enough for me. Saturday's headliner was Dubioza, and they got almost two hours on stage. Honestly, that's mostly why I came. I didn't know many of the other acts, but I was surprised to see that the Croatian band Psihomodopop is still performing—these guys have been singing since 1982, and I wasn't even born yet :) ).

I was really surprised by the food and drink prices inside the festival area. You'd usually expect inflated prices at events like this. But nope—everything was normal, actually way cheaper than in Belgrade. For 10-15 marks (5-7 euros) you could grab a pljeskavica.

The crowd was pretty cool overall, though there was one sketchy moment where people would get a bit too excited and throw beer cups into the crowd. I got splashed a few times, but overall I left dry. It was awesome. I'll write about the mountains separately. They're absolutely stunning.
