  • Duration: 2 day(s)

Itinerary

Day 1: The late morning and early afternoon will be spent exploring Mostar, the former oriental trading centre of Herzegovina, situated on the Neretva River. After Mostar, the group will travel to the nearby village of Blagaj. Blagaj's highlights are the Buna Spring and the adjacent Ottoman house/ monastery. Buna Spring flows out of a 200 metre cliff wall and single-handedly feeds the Buna River. Blagaj's old town is worth taking a walk through. A newly built heritage trail makes for a pleasant 30 - 45 minute walk around the town - starting at the Tekija Dervish House. The Velagić house built in the 17th century is a beautiful example of Ottoman stone masonry. After lunch the group will find their way up to Podveležje, for a short comfortable walk through the old villages on the Podveležje plateau. The final destination for the day is Eco Motel Sunce, a true paradise on the harsh rocky terrain of Velež mountain. Dinner will be an organic meal with excellent Herzegovinan wine. The group can enjoy the cool air and quiet at the motel, and the warm hospitality of the host Ismet.

Day 2: After a scrumptious breakfast at Ismet's, the group will head off on a hike up to Velež, Mostar's gentle giant. The trail will be rocky and provide beautiful views of the surrounding areas, and will lead up to several traditional shepherd huts neatly tucked away, where the group will enjoy a picnic and the last warming summer rays of the sun, before departing for Sarajevo.
