The name of the REGION in the official name of the country? Yes! Bosnia and HERZEGOVINA. The only such known example in the world. Find out why through the cultural, natural and historical uniqueness of Herzegovina, where Mostar on the UNESCO list, Počitelj, Buna, Konjic and Jablanica proudly hold the title of top Bosnian attractions. One of the warmest regions in Europe, nicknamed "California" is endowed by the coldest river in the world, the Neretva. Let's get to know Herzegovina on a day tour from Sarajevo.
Pickup included
On this full-day tour we are first going to stop in Konjic at the symbol of the city – Old Stone Bridge: The place where Bosnia joins Herzegovina. Old bridge from 17th century builded by the Ottomans, partly destoryed during WW2 and refurbished in 2009 is one of the four most important in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since 2009 the Old bridge is on UNESCO heritage list together with traditional Konjic woodcarving craft. Also for a good start to the day, we will have the opportunity to drink traditional Bosnian coffee/tea and enjoy the view of the city from one of the cafes positioned directly above the old town.
We will visit open air memorial museum "Battle for Wounded" from WW2 in city of Jablanica. The memorial site is dedicated to the battle of the Neretva river, overall one of the most important battles led by Tito's Partisans against Axis powers from January to April 1943. The complex has a museum, bunker, remains of the bridge on which the fighting continued and an old locomotive. There is also a vast square with an open stage.
Jablanica lake (Jablaničko jezero) is a true marvellous man-made gem created in 1953 by the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam (80 m high) on the Neretva river. Having a rather elongated shape over the surface of 13km2, the depth of lake fluctuates between 25 and 80 m (80 m being a maximum).
