Mostar,Kravica Waterfall,Blagaj,Počitelj - Day Tour from Sarajevo

The Old Stone Bridge, as well from the Turkish period, connected the banks of Neretva river for centuries, since 1682. Until March 3rd, 1945, when it was destroyed by retreating German troops. It was a rare example of classical Turkish Bridge building.

The Buna canals are one of the most beautiful places in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and this beauty is definitely worth seeing live, regardless of the fact that it is not yet fully organized for tourism and adapted for visits. What is it really about? The Bun canals are the place where the Neretva River flows, and its left tributary, the Buna River, flows into it. What is particularly interesting is that the Buna does not flow directly into the Neretva, but two rivers flow next to each other, and only one part of the Buna crosses travertine barriers and creates beautiful waterfalls and joins the Neretva and flows further towards the Adriatic Sea.

Kravica Waterfall is a favorite Herzegovinian picnic area and summer swimming spot. 3 kilometers downstream from the village of Hrašljani, between the villages of Studenci and Zvirici, the river Trebizat creates a waterfall 28 meters high and a beautiful natural amphitheater 120 meters wide. This natural phenomenon has been attracting many nature lovers for years, and in the summer months, tourists are offered swimming and activities on the river.

This unique settlement, listed as a UNESCO heritage site and recent reconstruction have returned the town to its original form. It was first mentioned in 1444 but some documents show that it was built in the late 14th century upon the order of the Bosnian King Tvrtko.

The Buna river is only nine kilometers long, and there is hardly a river with a shorter course, greater beauty, and greater popularity anywhere in the world.

Blagaj Tekija is a Dervish monastery outside Mostar, Bosnia, that’s nearly 600 years old. Situated at the base of a cliff, next to the source of the river Buna, it’s a unique and picturesque series of buildings that looks even better in person than it does in pictures. The Tekija (or Tekke) was first founded during the height of the Ottoman empire. Time and rock slides have led to extensive repairs and reconstruction to the buildings. Today, thanks largely to a Turkish travel agency, the Tekke looks mostly as it did in the past.

The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean, and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

On the Radobolja River, about one hundred and fifty meters upstream from its confluence with the Neretva, there is a small stone bridge with one arch, which is known as the "Crooked Bridge". We find the first mention of him in Ćejvan's trust fund from 1558, where the legator expressly says: "And the income will be spent on the maintenance of his bridge on the Radobolja river". On the basis of this allegation, it can be undoubtedly concluded that the Crooked Bridge was built by Ćejvan (Ćehaja), and that a little before 1558. Therefore, the Crooked Bridge is older than the Old Bridge, which was built in 1566. It should be noted that, according to tradition, the Old Bridge was built on the model of this one.

Entered from a gated courtyard, this 1618 mosque (substantially rebuilt after the war) has a dome painted with botanical motifs and punctuated by coloured-glass windows. You can climb the claustrophobic minaret for sweeping town views.

Shopping time in Mostar at the most unique street and one of the most famous streets in the country. We will spend 30 minutes in the Old Bazaar, and the remaining time will be allocated to travel back to Sarajevo.
