[Debconf-discuss] Nice place to be at: Banj brdo
This morning, my morning run brought me to Banj brdo. This place is a
hill in the south of Banja Luka, with a nice view over the city and
the surrounding hills. It is indeed advertized on the mini-guide with
a map, which we got in the conference bags.
The full return trip from Hotel Bosna is 12.5 kilometers, so doing
this by walking is probably about 3 hours. Beware that the trip
"features" a 3.5km climbing on an 8% slope (the hill is 431m high
while BL altitude is around 160m).
An option is probably getting a cab at the hotel and ask the driver to
drive you to the Banj Brdo "parking" (the road that climbs there is
closed to automobiles and there is a small parking at the
barrier). From there you can expect a 45 minutes walk up and about 30
minutes down (probably better asking your taxi to pick you up again or
something).
To reach the Banj Brdo road, here are approximative indications:
- Follow Kralija Petra i Karadordevica south (this is the large avenue
we cross between the venue and Hotel Bosna) for about 1.5
kilometer.
- after about 1.5 kilometer, a road on the left will lead you to
"Zeleni most" (I suspect this means "south bridge" but my serbian
is.....very deficient). This is a very narrow bridge with a pedestrian
path on one of its side. If you're crossing another bridge then you
messed up somewhere
- at the crossing after the bridge, turne right. There is a sign with
Banj Brdo written on it.
- follow the street for about 300-400 meters and turn left (there's a
sign too)
- the road starts climbing and, from there, you can't mess up...:-)
Please note that since today, Banj Brdo is now well mapped on
OSM..:-)
