Olovo is a tiny town located 50 km northeast from Sarajevo, on the main
road from Sarajevo to Tuzla. Conifer forests growing on the mountains
reveal a beautiful natural site with abundant mountain springs and
brooks and the beautiful valley of Krivaja River which stretches from
Zavidovici. The river is a wonderful rafting spot.
Olovo was first mentioned in 1382 under the name Plumbum (Latin:
lead). At the time, town had numerous lead mines. The town was named
after the lead minerals found in the medieval period.
