Searching for two monasteries and ending at a waterfall

Today we started with a healthy breakfast in Banja Luka together with a morning stroll through the city. The beauty is visible in some parts, like the old fortress....

The main church of Banja Luka 

The main square 

And the pedestrian zone

The special rowing stick technique practiced only in this area

The fortress

I love trains...

And dickheads

And finally the first monastery found on the outskirts of Banja Luka, the remains on the Trappist monastery

With the original German advertising for the fresh Trappist chees

After that we continued to search for the next monastery in the middle on nowhere, Gomionica, with close to no road signs but finally found it in a beautiful setting.

With beautiful frescos from the 16 th century inside

View through a car....on the road...

And finally in the evening we made it to Krupa an Vebrus with this nice wooden church 

And the water mills in the beautiful setting of the Krupa valley

The dinner was trout from the river the best I head since a long time, a perfect basis to type the blog at night .....with a cold beer aside...
