Geography edit
The village of Turbe is located in the upper valley of the Lašva River, about seven kilometres west of Travnik, on the M5 towards Donji Vakuf. This is where the two headwaters Karaulska Lašva (coming from the Karaula Pass) and Komarska Lašva (coming from the Komar Pass) unite.
History edit
In the 15th century, the village was conquered by the Ottomans. In 1878, as a result of the Congress of Berlin, Turbe was placed under Austro-Hungarian administration.
During the Second World War, the village was badly destroyed. In the Battle of Travnik, in which the Yugoslav People's Liberation Army fought against Croatian NDH troops at the end of 1943, a total of 3000 people died, including 1000 civilians.
In the Bosnian war from 1992 to 1995, Turbe was directly on the front line for a long time and also the 312th Mountain Brigade of Army of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was located in the region of Turbe.
Sport edit
The town's most important club is the football club NK Vlašić Turbe, which until 2007 played in the 2nd division of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the country's five-tier 3rd division at the time
