In 1984. this bobsled track was the center of the Olympics, visited by tens of thousands of spectators. Nine years later, it became the front line of the Bosnian war. Today the Trebević bobsled track is covered in graffiti and marked with harsh war scars. The track was used as cover by the Bosnian Serb Army and it is marked with sniper points which served snipers for killing innocent citizens of the city. This Olympic site of Mount Trebević nowadays lays within the wilderness of the overgrowing forest and makes for a remarkable scene of past fame and turbulence, and of nature’s power to take over the history.
