May-Oct
Livno sits on the edge of a huge karst plain, the Livanjsko polje, the largest of its kind in the Dinaric mountains, ringed by bare limestone ridges. In winter the plain floods and becomes a shallow lake, in spring it turns green, and in summer it is a patchwork of hay meadows with the dark mass of Cincar mountain rising behind. The town is about twelve thousand people and has an unhurried, provincial air, with a small old quarter, a mosque and Catholic and Orthodox churches standing within a short walk of each other.

Livno sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Glamoč.
Glamoč is a quiet town of the high Dinaric country in western Bosnia, set on the edge of the Glamočko Polje, one of the large flat karst fields that characterise this region. These poljes are rare features, broad basins with no outlet for surface water, and they flood in some springs and turn into rich pasture and farmland in summer. Around the plain rise bare mountains, including the long ridge of Staretina and the Hrbljine range, and the wind blows steadily across the open ground.

Glamoč comes up 40 km in. Next is Drvar.
Drvar sits in a high green bowl of western Bosnia, circled by forested mountains and close to the Dinara range, which marks the border with Croatia. It is a small town, remote and quiet, and for a rider following the Una River route it is a place where the road runs out of towns for a while, so it makes sense to top up when you can. The larger centres are Bosansko Grahovo, about twenty kilometres away, and Sanica, though neither is large by European standards.
