Herzegovina is a geographical region in southern part of the country, well known for the many sites declared ad nature parks, national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina and unesco world heritage sites.
On this tour we will visit four gems in Herzegovina enriched by miscellaneous history, culture and exceptional nature.
Our first stop is Kravice waterfall on Trebižat River, the natural paradise in Herzegovina. The waterfall height is around 26 m, with a water amphitheater under the waterfall. This site is popular due its untouched nature, relaxing environment, and therefore is a perfect place for a picnic and swimming.
We proceed with our tour, and we stop by the medieval town Počitelj, probably the most picturesque place in the country, which had an important geostrategic role in the period from 13th to 17th century. The town is one of the few urban ensembles that have remained preserved to the present times. Počitelj’s layout puts it into the group of Ottoman-Mediterranean types of small settlements.
The next stop is Vrelo Bune (Buna river spring) near Blagaj. It is an oasis, best known for the spring of the Buna River located inside the cave. Right next to the cave is the Dervish tekke, a Sufi spiritual retreat built in the Ottoman period. Enchanting nature, soothing river and historical heritage are the reasons why this is one of the most visited site in Herzegovina.
Our final stop is Mostar, a cultural and historical center of the region, named after the bridge keepers who guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) in the medieval times. By far the most famous landmark of the city and permanent symbol of Herzegovina is the Old Bridge, a unesco World Heritage Site, which connects two different parts of the city.
After a day of exploring one of the most beautiful areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkan regions, we will return to Sarajevo, where we started our journey.
