A domestic route with no border and no paperwork, but a road that is more demanding than the distance suggests. A hundred and thirty kilometres here takes what two hundred takes elsewhere.
Part of the route runs on the motorway towards Zenica, and the rest on main roads across hilly ground. The main-road sections have plenty of bends, climbs and lorry traffic, so the average speed is lower than the map implies.
Allow closer to two and a half hours than two, particularly on a weekday when freight traffic is heavier.
Tolls apply only on the motorway sections, and the amounts are small. The rest of the route is untolled main road.
There are enough filling stations the whole way, so fuel is not something you have to plan around as on some mountain routes.
This is less a tourist route and more a business and family one. Tuzla has its own airport with low-cost flights, so it happens that someone lands in Tuzla and needs a car for Sarajevo, or the other way round.
If you need that kind of one-way arrangement, ask in advance so we can see what is workable — it is not a standard service.
Not a tourist route like the southern ones, but there are reasons to stop.
A medieval fortress above the Bosna, a short turn off the road near Zenica.
A stretch along the river, good for stretching your legs halfway.
Salt lakes in the middle of Tuzla, unique in this part of Europe.
The centre of Tuzla, where it becomes obvious how the city got its name.
A city car is enough for this route. Being an automatic is the real advantage on the main-road sections, with their lorry traffic and constant gear changes on the bends.
