Exploring Konjic: Mountains, Forests, and Historic Charm

The tour starts with a visit to Konjic, a town surrounded by mountains and dense forests. Here, you can appreciate the peaceful rural scenery and explore the historic town. The guide leads you through the town, sharing insights into its history and natural surroundings.

Passing through the Neretva river canyon, this part of the trip offers a visual treat of gorge-like landscapes. The stop is brief but gives a taste of Bosnia’s scenic environments before moving on to the more urban and cultural sites.

Traveling from Konjic, the drive continues along the Neretva river, setting the scene for the next major stop—Mostar, home to the famous Old Bridge.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site: Mostar’s Old Bridge

In Mostar, the highlight is the Old Bridge (Stari Most), an arch stone bridge that dates back centuries. Recognized by UNESCO, this bridge is a symbol of the city’s resilience and history. The driver-guide provides context about its Ottoman-era construction and significance.

Visitors have ample time to admire the spectacular views and take photographs of the Old Town surrounding the bridge. This stop offers a chance to stroll through narrow cobblestone streets and soak in the lively atmosphere.

The guided tour ensures you learn about the history of Mostar while enjoying the scenic backdrop of the Neretva River. It’s a perfect moment to appreciate Bosnia and Herzegovina’s architectural and cultural heritage.

Blagaj Tekija: The Ottomans’ Cliffside Monastery

Next, the tour visits Blagaj Tekija, an Ottoman-era monastery built into a cliffside on the source of the Buna River. Known as the Dervish House, this site offers a peaceful setting with rocky amphitheater views.

The guided walk around Blagaj Tekija reveals its religious history and architectural features. Visitors often comment on the serene atmosphere and the unique location—a perfect spot to reflect and take photos.

The monastery’s entrance fee of 10 BAM is not included, but the scenic surroundings and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop.
