Summary/Abstract: The workers’ touristic association »The Friends of Nature« was founded in Sarajevo, 1905. The initiative for the foundation came from the workers of the foreign born. The association »Friends of Nature« in Sarajevo, which was growing together with the development of the trade union movement in Bosnia and Hercegovina, initially had the aim to train the workers to spend their free time in mountains and forests and, at the same time, to get them learn something from natural sciences, geography, geology and biology. In the course of the First World War the Association made a break in its activity for the time being. After the war, the association »The Friends of Nature« gradually renewed its activity and since 1927 it extended its activity throughout Yugoslavia. The seat of the Central Direction was in Sarajevo. Before the election of the Central Direction, and later on, both in the Central Direction and in other bodies of the Association, the majority of the members were the members of the Socialistic Party.
