About this landmark
Plava Voda (Blue Water) is one of the most beautiful and beloved spots in Travnik – a cultural landscape and national monument in the Šumeće neighbourhood, where the clear river of the same name rises and flows into the Lašva. It is a place where locals and travellers gladly pause over coffee, a drink or Travnik's famous ćevapi. The heart of Plava Voda is Lutvina kahva, the small coffee house where, in 1807, the action of the novel "Bosnian Chronicle" by Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić begins.
The same café is also known as Rudolf's, because in 1887 it was visited by the Austro-Hungarian heir Rudolf, who gave the owner a ducat. Behind it rises the monumental türbe of the Travnik mufti Mehmed-efendi and his wife Ajiša, so the whole area feels like an open-air museum. It unites natural freshness, the city's rich history and a literary legend in one place.
