Plenkovic in church, excursions in the Cave of Titus: the Saturday that shook the Woodman

A group of around fifty tourists from Slovenia and Istria visited Drvar, a small town in southwestern Bosnia, to explore historical sites related to the 1944 Drvar landing during World War II, including Tito’s cave. The visit stirred activity in a historically troubled area where past conflicts between Serbs and Croats had led to deep scars and suppressed memories. The memorial complex includes Tito’s cave, a museum, and other exhibits that highlight the region’s role in the Partisan movement. According to the museum curator, visitor numbers have declined significantly since the former Yugoslavia era, though there has been a recent increase in interest, with many visitors coming from across Europe and even countries like Australia, Canada, Japan, and Singapore. Among foreign visitors, Germans are the most numerous, while Slovenians make up about 30–40% of all visitors, often expressing nostalgia for the Yugoslav era and holding a high regard for Tito.
