This bobsleigh track was built for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. While the event drew in large crowds and the track was later used for other bobsleigh events, the Yugoslav Wars beginning in 1991 put a halt to the use of the state-of-the-art athletic complex.

The surrounding area is now overgrown and the track itself is covered in graffiti. Visitors over the years have been intrigued by the track's design, although locals warn against getting too close since there may be unexploded mines leftover from the war in the area.

The now-decayed complex, which used to be home to peak athleticism and Olympic spirit, is best viewed from afar today.
