Napraviti kvalitetan i sveobuhvatan vodič kroz Mostar koji će domaćim i stranim turistima ponuditi sve potrebne in-

formacije o hotelima, motelima, hostelima, restoranima, klu-bovima, turističkim atrakcijama, povijesnim znamenitostima, važnijim institucijama, servisnim informacijama, mapu grada, svakako je projekt koji zaslužuje pohvalu i potporu.

Jer za predstavljanje Mostara, njegove burne povijesti, turističkih potencijala i znamenitosti, njegove prošlosti, treba puno, uistinu puno truda, riječi i slika, a što vjerujem da će ovaj vodič ponuditi.

Podsjetit ću ovdje na ZAPIS O MOSTARU od našeg Nobelov-ca Ive Andrića, koji je zapisao da "kad čovjek prenoći u Mosta-ru, nije zvuk ono sto ga probudi ujutro, nego svjetlost. To znam iz iskustva. Svjetlost me je dočekala pri dolasku u Mostar".

I doista, kao što je kazao Andrić, to je karakteristika sjeća-nja na Mostar kojeg sigurno nakon posjeta Mostaru ponesu i gosti i turisti koji u njega svrate.

Jer, s pravom se može reći da je, kao što je rekao Andrić, to što sija nad ovim od prirode povlaštenim gradom, i što proži-ma sve u njemu, neka naročita svjetlost, izuzetna po jačini i kakvoći i da se nikad dovoljno čovjek ne može nagledati te svjetlosti, iako ju je sretao svuda.

Making a high-quality comprehensive guidebook to Mostar offering local and foreign tourists all the information

they need regarding hotels, motels, hostels, restaurants, clubs, tourist attractions, historic sites, important institutions, services, the city map, certainly is a praise-worthy project deserving support.

Indeed, presenting Mostar, its turbulent history, tourism potential and attractions, its past, requires a lot of effort, words, and images, which I believe this guidebook will provide.

I will use the opportunity to remind of A NOTE ON MOSTAR by our Nobel-prize winner Ivo Andrić, who wrote that "When a man spends a night in Mostar, it is not the sounds that wake him up in the morning, it is the light. I know that. It was the light that was there when I arrived to Mostar".

Truly, as Andrić said, this is one distinct memory of Mostar, something that all those who visited Mostar remember.

We have every right to say, similar to Andrić, that the bright light above this privileged city, the one thing that permeates everything, is that extraordinarily strong light one can never get enough of, even though sunshine is an everyday phenom-enon.

Uz to, ono što Mostar uistinu može ponuditi turistima jest i kulturna baština koja je identificirajući element svakoga gra-da, koja ga razlikuje od drugih.

Mostar to ima i ona mu upravo daje posebnost. Ali Mostar ima Stari grad sa Starim mostom. Podsjetit ću ovdje kako se najstariji pisani trag o Mostaru čuva u Arhivu u Dubrovniku i datira iz 15. stoljeća, točnije iz 1452 godine. Po lančanom mostu, odnosno mostarima, koji su ga čuvali, Mostar je i dobio ime.

Nešto kasnije, u blizini tog lokaliteta, u 16. stoljeću, 1556. godine, sagrađen je čuveni Stari most. U blizini lokaliteta Starog mosta, tijekom arheoloških iskapanja prilikom njegove rekonstrukcije, pronađeni su ostaci drvenog mosta koji je iz-građen oko osamdeset godine prije samog Starog mosta. Tim mostom nakon pada Bosne pod Osmansko carstvo koristili su se i Osmanlije dok nisu sagradili novi most.

U ratu od 1992.-1995. godine, grad je razoren. Srušen je i njegov simbol Stari most. Obnovljen je 2004. godine, a 2005. godine u Durbanu uvršten na UNESCO-ov popis spomenika zaštićene kulturne baštine, kao prvi spomenik iz BiH. Ove godine obilježili smo velikom svečanošću deset godina od tog događaja, a kao i tada, Mostar je početkom srpnja ove godine uistinu bio u središtu pozornosti.

Upisom na UNESCO-ovu listu kulturne baštine, od Mostara smo napravili u svijetu poznato "brendirano" turističko odre-dište. Ono što Mostaru daje dodatni turistički potencijal jesu neposredna blizina središta vjerskog turizma: Međugorje, Blagaj i Žitomislića, te Jadranskog mora.

Ono što se dodatno mora učiniti, a to više nije u našoj do-meni, osim lobiranja, a i ovaj Mostar Kompas je jedan od ka-nala, jeste promijeniti zakonsku regulativu. Jer, ona priječi da Mostar ima od turizma puno više koristi, da ulaže u turizam, promociju i da svi u konačnici budemo zadovoljniji, od turista koji dođu u Mostar, nas kao lokalne vlasti, do onih koji pružaju turističke usluge i žive od turizma.

Stoga, neka ovaj vodič bude od koristi svima onima koje zanima povijest našeg grada, njegove prirodne ljepote, tu-ristički i kulturni sadržaji, ugostiteljska ponuda, jer Mostar je grad otvorenih vrata.

WELCOME/DOBRODOŠLI

In addition, Mostar can offer tourists its cultural heritage, as it is the identifying element of every city, what makes it stand out among others.

Mostar has such cultural heritage, and that is what makes it special. Mostar has the Old Town and the Old Bridge. Let me remind you that the oldest written record of Mostar is kept in the Dubrovnik archive, and dates back to 15th century, that is, 1452. Mostar got its name after the bridge (most) suspended on chains, or rather, the bridge guards (mostari).

The famous Old Bridge was built in the vicinity of the suspended bridge later, in 16th century, in 1556. During the archaeological excavations near the Old Bridge, conducted during its reconstruction, remains of the wooden bridge, built some eighty years before the Old Bridge, were found. After the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia, the bridge was used by the Ottomans until they constructed a new one.

During the 1992-1995 war, the city was destroyed. Its symbol, the Old Bridge, was destroyed too. It was reconstructed in 2004, and in 2005, in Durban, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the first such site in BiH. This year we celebrated the tenth anniversary of that event, and just like then, in early July this year, Mostar was truly in the centre of attention.

Since its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, we have made Mostar a renowned tourist destination, a brand. Mostar gets its additional tourist potential from the fact that it is surrounded by the centres of religious tourism, Međugorje, Blagaj and Žitomislić, and is close to the Adriatic coast.

One more thing needs to be done, but it remains out of our control. Legislation needs to be amended. We can but lobby for it, and this guidebook is one way to do it. The current legislation prevents Mostar from benefiting from tourism much more, from making bigger investments in tourism and promotion, so everyone gets to enjoy those benefits, tourists visiting Mostar, local authorities, and service providers alike.

Therefore, let this guidebook be of use to all those interest-ed in the history of our city, the beauty of its nature, tourist and cultural attractions, and gastronomy, because Mostar is an open city.

Mostar je glavno kulturno, političko i financijsko središte Hercegovine. Već pri prvom susretu s ovim prekrasnim

gradom osjetit ćete mnoštvo različitosti koje ga čine poseb-nim. Njegova draž je u tome što se u njegove ulice utkao duh različitih civilizacija koje su ovdje boravile, duh koji se osjeća u mnoštvu mladih gostoljubivijih ljudi, kao i arhitektonskim zda-njima. Ovaj univerzitetski i sveučilišni centar regije oduvijek je bio i ostao - grad mostova i grad mladosti.

U gradu i njegovoj blizini nalaze se jedinstveni lokaliteti kulturno-historijskog blaga od kojih treba posebno istaknuti Stari grad i nezaobilazni simbol, Stari most, koji spaja lijevu i desnu obalu hercegovačkog bisera - rijeke Neretve.

Stari grad u Mostaru je zanimljiv po svojim uskim uličica-ma punim života. U njemu se nalazi mnoštvo ugostiteljskih objekata i obrta s tradicionalnom ponudom, a dragulj grada je Stari most.

Mostar is the cultural, political and financial centre of the Herzegovina region. Your first encounter with the city will

make you feel the diversity that makes it stand out. Its charm lies in the fact that its streets are woven with the spirit of different civilisations that lived here. This spirit is felt among the young, hospitable people and in the city's architecture. Mostar, as the city with two universities, has always been the city of bridges and the city of young people.

Unique cultural and historic heritage sites are located in and around the city, including the Old Town and the symbol of the city, the Old Bridge, which connects the two banks of the jewel of Herzegovina - the Neretva River.

The Old Town is known for its narrow streets teeming with life. It has a number of establishments and craft shops offering traditional products, while the Old Bridge is its crown jewel.

ABOUT THE CITYO gradu

Simbol grada Mostara, Stari most, koji tako lijepo i gra-ciozno spaja lijevu i desnu obalu rijeke Neretve, izgrađen je davne 1566. godine.

Raspon luka je 28,7 m, a visina 21 m od ljetne razine rije-ke. Svake godine u srpnju/julu, s njega se održavaju visinski skokovi. Na popis svjetske baštine UNESCO-a upisan je 2005. godine. Dolaskom na Stari most uživat ćete u nezaboravnom pogledu na rijeku Neretvu i starine koje vas okružuju.

Pojedini historijski ostaci svjedoče o kontinuiranom životu na ovom prostoru od antičkog vremen, a najstariji pisani do-kument o Mostaru datira iz IX stoljeća.

Grad posjeduje kompletnu prostornu infrastrukturu, ce-stovni i željeznički saobraćaj i moderan aerodrom. Mnoštvo prekrasnih parkova, sportskih terena, muzeja, galerija i klubova čine ga idealnim za život, jer ljudima nudi pozitivna iskustva koja se dugo pamte.

Čuveni nobelovac Ivo Andrić je napisao: "Kad čovjek preno-ći u Mostaru, nije zvuk ono što ga ujutro budi, nego svjetlost". Mostar je grad cvijeća, zelenila i bezbroj puta opjevanog beha-ra koji već u veljači/februaru zna procvasti i stvoriti čudnovato lijepu i nestvarnu sliku koja nadahnjuje. Mostar ima specifičnu i rijetko ugodnu mediteransku klimu, jer se nalazi svega 60 km od Jadranskog mora.

Symbol of the city of Mostar, the Old Bridge, that beautiful and elegant connection between the banks of the Neretva River, was built back in 1566.

The arch span is 28.7 m, while its height is 21 m above the water level in the summer. Every July, it becomes the setting for a high diving competition. The bridge was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. As you set your foot on the Old Bridge, you get to enjoy the unforgettable view of the Neretva River and the old buildings surrounding you.

Historic artefacts confirm continuous habitation in the area since antiquity, while the earliest written record of Mostar dates back to 9th century.

The city boasts complete infrastructure, road and railroad traffic and a modern airport. A number of beautiful parks, sports fields, museums, galleries, and clubs make it ideal for living. It offers people positive experiences remembered for a long time.

The famous Nobel-prize laureate Ivo Andrić wrote: "When a man spends a night in Mostar, it is not the sounds that wake him up in the morning, it is the light." Mostar is the city of flowers, greenery, and tree blossoms often celebrated in songs, sometimes blooming as early as February and creating a magically beautiful and inspir-ing picture. It has a specific, rarely pleasant Mediterranean climate, as it is only 60 km away from the Adriatic coast.

Stari grad Blagaj (Bona, Stjepan grad) čija povijest svjedoči o burnim vremenima na ovim prostorima, jedan je od izni-

mno vrijednih nacionalnih spomenika BiH. Danas je u dosta ruševnom stanju ali i dalje prkosno odolijeva zubu vremena.

Nekadašnji centar Humske zemlje sagrađen na 310 metara nadmorske visine, na najistaknutijem mjestu visokog i teško pristupačnog kraškog brda Hum, 266 metara iznad vrela rijeke Bune.

U 10. stoljeću Blagaj je imao veliku ulogu u razvoju Huma ili Zahumlja što se spominje u djelu Konstantina Porfirogeneta De administrando imperio (O upravljanju imperijom). Na njegov razvoj i značaj u mnogome je utje-cala blizina važne saobraćajnice koja je dolinom Neretve povezivala Jadransko more sa bosanskim zaleđem. U Bla-gaju su stolovali humski knezovi i vojvode, poput Miroslava i Sandalja Hranića, no najpoznatiji od njih je svakako bio Hranićev nećak herceg Stjepana Vukčić Kosača, po kome je grad dobio ime, te po čijoj je tituli hercega ova regija dobila svoj današnji naziv, Hercegovina. Blagaj je za vrijeme vladavine Kosače bio mjesto na kojem su se kovale ideje o nezavisnosti Hercegovine.

Osmanlije su zauzele Blagaj 1465. godine, a već 1473. godine Stjepan grad se spominje kao sjedište i rezidencija

Old Fort Blagaj (Bona, Stjepan grad) is one of the national monuments in BiH of immense importance. It is in a state

of disrepair, but still resists time and its past testifies to the turbulent times this region went through.

Former centre of the Hum land, it stands 310 m above sea level, at the most prominent point of the high and inaccessible karst hill of Hum, 266 m above the spring of Buna River.

In 10th century, Blagaj played a major role in the develop-ment of Hum, or Zahumlje region, which Constantine Porphyro-genitus mentioned in his work De administrando imperio (On the Administration of the Empire). Its development and impor-tance were largely affected by the vicinity of the important com-munication connecting the Adriatic coast with Bosnia through the Neretva valley. Blagaj was the seat of the Hum princes and dukes, such as Miroslav and Sandalj Hranić, but the most famous among them was certainly their nephew herzeg Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, after whom the fort was named (Stjepan's Fort), while his title of the herzeg gave this region its present day name, Herzegovina. During Kosača's rule, Blagaj was the centre of the idea on Herzegovina's independence.

The Ottomans took Blagaj in 1465, and as early as in 1473, Stjepan grad was mentioned as the seat and the residence of the Blagaj qadi (Arabic for a judge). The town was repaired on

blagajskog kadije. Grad su popravljali dva puta: 1699. godine, kada je sanirana zapadna kula, a zatim 1827. godine. Posada je boravila ovdje sve do 1835. godine, iako je stratešku ulogu odavno preuzeo Mostar.

Do ove tvrđave na vrhu litice se može doći jednosatnom šetnjom iz Blagaja, uz vijugavu stazu. Tvrđava nije konzer-virana, ali je jedan dio zidina još uvijek nedirnut. Ovo je odlično mjesto za promatranje Neretvanske doline, kao što je i idealno mjesto za izlet. Staza nije obilježena, no nije je teško pronaći. U tvrđavi nema vodiča niti se naplaćuje ulaz.

Legenda o hercegu Stjepan Kosači kažu kako je to-kom svoje vladavine imao mnogo rezidencija, ali da su dvije od njih bile glavne. Naime, Kosača bi ljeti živio u Blagaju, dok je zime provodio u Herceg Novom.

U Blagaju je 1424. rođena i posljednja bosanska kraljica Katarina Kosača-Kotromanić, koja je bila Ko-sačina kći iz prvog braka.

Legenda također kaže da je u Stjepan gradu herceg Stjepan Kosača navodno zakopao svoje blago, te da je Blagaj ime dobio upravo po tom do danas neotkrive-nom blagu.

Stari grad Blagaj (Stjepan grad) proglašen je nacionalnim spomenikom Bosne i Hercegovine 2003. godine.

Kada dođete u Mostar, nikako nemojte zaobići ovaj dra-gulj, spoj ljepote prirode i ljudske ruke.

two occasions, in 1699, when the west tower was repaired, and again in 1827. A garrison was stationed there until 1835, although its strategic role had long before been taken over by Mostar.

The fort, situated at the top of a cliff, can be reached by taking a one-hour walk from Blagaj up a winding path. The fort has not been conserved, but part of the walls remains intact. This is an excellent location for watching the Neretva valley, just as it is an excellent location for a picnic. The path is not marked but can be located easily enough. There are no guides in the fort and there is no admission fee.

The legend of herzeg Stjepan Kosača says that during his rule he had a number of residences, but two were the most prominent, as he used to spend his summers in Blagaj, and winters in Herceg Novi.

The last Bosnian queen, Katarina Kosača-Kotromanić, was born in Blagaj in 1424. She was Kosača's daughter from his first marriage.

The legend also says that herzeg Stjepan Kosača bur-ied his treasure in Stjepan grad, and that Blagaj actually got its name from this treasure that remains undiscov-ered (blago = treasure).

Since 2003, Old Fort Blagaj (Stjepan grad) has been on the list of national monuments in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

When you come to Mostar, by all means visit this jewel, a combination of a beauty of nature and human activity.

Sinagoga - Templ u Mostaru nalazi se u naselju Brankovac. Sagrađena je 1889. godine, a nastala je preuređenjem objekta koji je prije toga služio za odlaganje sijena. U Drugom svjet-skom ratu je bila djelomično porušena, a 1952. godine Židov-ska općina Mostar sinagogu poklanja gradu Mostaru. Od tada se u prostoru templa nalazi Lutkarsko pozorište.

Synagogue - the Temple in Mostar is located in Brankovac city area. It was built in 1889, when a building initially used to store hay was converted. It was partially demolished during the World War II, and in 1952, the Jewish Community of Mostar presented it as a gift to the city of Mostar. Ever since then, the temple has housed the Puppet Theatre.

Katolička crkva sagrađena je 1866. godine, uz do-puštenje tadašnjeg sultana i poklon od 50.000 groša. Gradili su je isključivo domaći radnici, a pri opremanju su pomogli austrougarski konzulat i francuski vicekon-zulat u Mostaru. Uz crkvu je 1890. godine izgrađen Franjevački samostan sa bogatom knjižnicom. Crkva je spaljena 1992. godine, a na njenom mjestu je podi-gnuta nova crkva.

Catholic church was built in 1866 following the Sultan's approval and a gift of 5,000 silver coins. It was built by local builders only, while the Austrian Consulate and the French Vice Consulate in Mostar helped with the furnishing. The Franciscan Monastery with a well-stocked library was built next to the church in 1890. The church was burnt down in 1992, and a new one was built on top of it.

Nacionalni spomenik "Muslibegovića kuća", smješten u blizini Karađoz-begove džamije, jedan je od najmonumen-talnijih spomenika gradske stambene arhitekture osmanskog perioda u Bosni i Hercegovini. Objekat je sačuvao autentičnu formu i drvorez te uz originalne predmete, spise i eksponate, posjetiocima pruža uvid u način života bogate begovske poro-dice u minulim stoljećima.

"Muslibegovića House" national monument is located near the Karađoz Bey Mosque, and is one of the greatest mon-uments of urban residential architecture from the Ottoman period in Bosnia-Herzegovina The building retained its authentic form and wood carvings, and together with the original objects, documents, and exhibits, it provides visitors with an insight into the way of life of a rich noble family in the past centuries.

Stara pravoslavna crkva - Crkva rođenja Bogoro-dičina, najstariji hrišćanski objekt u Mostaru, izgrađena je na obroncima brda Fortica u istočnom dijelu grada, na uzvišenju iznad ostataka Saborne crkve. Sa sigurnošću se zna da je crkva postojala u 18. vijeku ali se pretpostavlja da je i starija. Crkva čuva prelijepu ikonu Djevice Marije, te ruske, venecijanske i lokalne ikone koje datiraju iz perioda od XV. do XVIII. vijeka.

The old Orthodox church - Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, is the oldest Christian building in Mo-star, built on the slopes of the Fortica hill in eastern part of the city, above the remains of the Orthodox cathedral. It has been confirmed that the church existed in 18th century, but it is assumed that it is older than that. The church houses the beautiful icon of the Virgin Mary, as well as the Russian, Venetian, and local icons dating back to the period between 15th and 18th century.

Biskupska rezidencija nalazi se negdje na polovici puta iz-među Stare biskupije u Vukodolu i Franjevačke crkve. Izgrađe-na je 1906. godine i projektirana u duhu neorenesanse, koja se očituje u svim dekorativnim elementima prisutnim na fasada-ma ali i u načinu osmišljavanja prostora u jedinstvenu, logički povezanu cjelinu koja odiše dostojanstvom i uravnoteženošću.

The bishop's residence is located halfway between the old bishop's residence in Vukodol and the Franciscan church. It was built in 1906 in the neo-renaissance style, which is visible in all the decorative elements on the facade, but also in the way the space is designed as a unique, logically connected ensemble full of dignity and balance.

Stari bazar-Kujundžiluk dobio je naziv prema tradicionalnim zlatarima, a za vrijeme Osmanskog carstva brojao je više od 500 raznih dućana. Stari bazar predstavlja sugestivni presjek arhitekture i svakodnevnog života u Mostaru. To je mjesto na kojem možete pronaći autentične umjetničke slike, bakroreze, bakroreljefe i mnoge unikatne suvenire.

The Old Bazaar - Kujundžiluk was named after the tradi-tional goldsmiths, and during the Ottoman era it had more than 500 various shops. The Old Bazaar showcases a sug-gestive combination of architecture and daily life in Mostar. This is the place to go shopping for original paintings, copper-plates, copper reliefs, and numerous unique souvenirs.

CULTURAL AND HISTORIC MONUMENTS Kulturno povijesni spomenici

Mitropolija - Vladičin dvor (nacionalni spomenik) izgrađen je 1908. godine, u vrijeme Austrougarske carevine, za mitropolita pravoslavne crkve. Mitropolija predstavlja interesantan primjer neobarokne arhitekture. Jako vrijedni ukrasi u unutrašnjosti i pojedinosti na fasadi, sa nišama u kojima se nalaze statue svetaca, strukture u obliku školjke i urne, čine je jedinstvenim spomenikom.

Metropolitanate - Orthodox Bishop's Residence (national monument) was built in 1908 during the Austro-Hungarian rule, for the Orthodox bishop. The building is an interesting example of neo-baroque architecture. Highly valuable deco-rative interior elements and the details on the facade, with alcoves holding saints' statues, shell-shaped structures and urns, make it a unique landmark.

Biščevića kuća, poznatija kao Bišćevića ćošak, smještena je na istočnoj obali rijeke Neretve u Biščevića ulici. Ova stara osmanska kuća potječe iz 17. stoljeća. Ćošak isturen nad Nere-tvom na dva veoma visoka i smjelo postavljena kamena stuba, čini ovu kuću najsmjelije komponovanim djelom stambene ar-hitekture iz osmanlijskog perioda u Mostaru.

Bišćevića house, also known as Bišćevića corner, is located on the eastern bank of Neretva, in Bišćevića Street. This old Ottoman-type house dates back to 17th century. One corner situated above Neretva, resting on two tall and daringly placed stone pillars, makes this house the boldest piece of residential architecture from the Ottoman period in Mostar.

Mostar je bogat džamijama, koje su raspoređene u svakom kvartu i predstavnice su tipičnog osmanskog stila u ar-

hitekturi. Male su ali elegantne, prava remek djela, kako sa arhitektonskog, tako i sa šireg kulturnog stanovišta i svakako ih vrijedi posjetiti, ne samo zbog ljepote unutrašnjosti, nego i zbog toga što su svjedoci života i kulture osmanskog perioda u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Karađozbegova džamija, do koje se stiže lagano se udaljivši od stare jezgre grada, jedan je od najvećih i najreprezenta-tivnijih spomenika sakralne islamske arhitekture XVI stoljeća. Osim visoke elegantne munare, pažnju privlači njena kupola. Dvorište s haremom proteže se do uglova Karađoz-begove i Fejićeve ulice. Karađozbegova džamija je i jedna od najljepših džamija Hercegovine. Izgrađena je 1557. prema nacrtima slav-nog osmanlijskog arhitekte Kodže Mimar Sinana. Nadzornik i glavni donator radova bio je sin grada Mostara, mostarski mecena Mehmed beg Karađoz, brat legendarnog osmanskog vezira Rustem-paše Opukovića i brat Sinan-paše, namjesnika Hercegovine od 1549. do 1574. godine.

Every part of Mostar has a mosque as a representative build-ing of the typical Ottoman architecture. Small but elegant,

they are true masterpieces, both from the standpoint of archi-tecture and culture at large. They are well worth visiting, not only for their interior, but because they are witnesses to the life and culture of the Ottoman era in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Karađoz Bey Mosque, slightly outside the old city centre, is one of the largest monuments showcasing the sacral Is-lamic architecture of 16th century. Its high elegant minaret and the dome attract a lot of attention. The yard with the cemetery reaches the corner of the Karađoz Bey and Fejića Streets. Karađoz Bey Mosque is also among the most beau-tiful mosques in Herzegovina. It was built in 1557 according to the designs of the famous Ottoman architect, Kodža Mimar Sinan. Construction supervisor and the main donor was a man originally from Mostar, Mehmed Bey Karađoz. Construction supervisor and the main donor was a man originally from Mostar, Mehmed Bey Karađoz, brother of the legendary Ottoman vizier Rustem-paša Opuković and

Unutrašnjost je raskošno ukrašena arabeskama i floralnim crtežima, kao što je tada bio običaj, dok su se u dvorištu dža-mije nalazile druge strukture: fontana za ritualno umivanje (šadrvan), islamska vjerska škola (medresa), biblioteka i javna kuhinja za siromašne.

Karađozbegova džamija je tokom restauracije Starog mosta i stare jezgre grada Mostara u razdoblju između 2002. i 2004. godine obnovljena i otvorena u julu mjesecu 2004. godine.

Iste godine, graditeljska cjelina Karađoz-begove džamije, proglašena je nacionalnim spomenikom Bosne i Hercegovine.

The interior is richly decorated with arabesques and floral images, as was customary at the time, while the mosque yard contains other elements: a fountain for ritual washing (šadrvan), Islamic religious school (madrasa), a library, and a soup kitchen.

During the reconstruction of the Old Bridge and the old city centre between 2002 and 2004, Karađoz Bey Mosque was refur-bished and opened in July 2004.

That same year, the architectural ensemble of Karađoz Bey Mosque was declared a national monument of Bosnia-Herze-govina.

Herzegovina, particularly the wine-growing hills of Mos-tar, which include the vineyards on the Dubrava plateau

and the Vina Zadro winery in Čapljina, has been known since antiquity for the native žilavka and blatina grape varieties and their accompanying varieties, as well as the vranac, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and chardonnay varieties. The Vina Zadro winery is located in the village of Domanovići, outside Čapljina. The winery has 40 hectares of vineyards and a winery with 15,009 hectolitre capacity, while its containers are made of wood and stainless steel. The winery provides primary processing, wine care, and finalisation of the process, including bottling. Wine pro-duced in this winery is the authentic wine of this region.

The winery compound also houses a wine-tasting build-ing in the traditional Herzegovinian style. This is the place for true wine lovers, but also for enthusiasts, wine connois-seurs and amateurs, and those who are simply curious, but also for all visitors to the area.

Cheers!

The Old Town was once recognisable for the sound of tools used by craftsmen who made metal objects and motifs of

Mostar and Herzegovina, particularly copper ones, in their small shops. That sound now comes from only a couple of shops that kept the tradition of handmade objects symbolising rhe city that people bought as souvenirs from Mostar.

One of the handmade objects with the symbol of the Old Bridge and recognisable products from Mostar and Herzegovina can be found in an old small shop in the centre of Old Town, near Tabhana.

Bećir Burić, nicknamed Bure, is the craftsman whose shop is located under two lime trees. He makes the keys to the city of Mostar that cannot unlock any door, but represent a unique object made by hand, by casting and processing metal. This is a traditional technique drawing on the experience of the ancient Neretva-basin civilisation of Daorsi tribe.

This key, made by master Bure, that encompasses the Old Town buildings and some of the distinct symbols of Herzegovina, received UNESCO Award for the souvenir of the city of Mostar.

If you happen to visit master Bure, he will gladly show you how he makes those objects, he will describe the entire process of making the keys to the city of Mostar, and will make one for you, if you have enough time and patience. All the keys he makes are unique as he makes each one separately, by hand, and the pro-duction process has to be repeated to make each and every key.

Stari grad je nekada bio prepoznatljiv po zvuku alata majstora koji su u svojim malim radnjama ručno pravili predmete i

motive Mostara i Hercegovine i to od raznih metala, a ponajviše od bakra. Trenutno se taj zvuk može čuti samo iz par radnji gdje se zadržala tradicija ručne izrade predmeta koji su simbolizirali grad i koje su ljudi kupovali kao suvenire iz Mostara.

Jedan od ručno izrađenih predmeta, sa simbolima Starog mo-sta i prepoznatljivih prizvoda s područja Mostara i Hercegovina, možete pronaći u maloj staroj radnji u središtu Starog grada u blizini Tabhane.

Ispod dvije lipe, je lokalna adresa, na kojoj možete pronaći majstora Bećira Burića - Buru koji proizvodi ključeve grada Mostara, kojima ne možete otključati vrata ali možete imati uni-katni predmet, izrađen postupkom ručnog odljevanja i obrade, tradicionlanim postupkom koji se naslanja na iskustvo izumrle neretvanske civilizacije Daorsa.

Ovaj ključ, rad majstora Bure, koji objedinjuje građevine Sta-rog grada u Mostaru i neke od prepoznatljivih simbola Hercego-vine, dobitnik je UNESCO-ve nagrade za suvenir grada Mostara.

Ako posjetite majstora Buru, on će Vam rado pokazati na koji način izrađuje ove predmete, odnosno pojasniti cijeli proces izrade ključa grada Mostara i napraviti Vaš primjerak, ukoliko budete imali dovoljno vremena i strpljenja. Svi izrađeni primjerci ključeva su jedinstveni i neponovljivi, jer se svaki primjerak izra-đuje posebno i proces izrade se ponavlja za svaki ključ.

Šipak ili nar je definitivno jedan od simbola Hercegovine. Samonikli, divlji šipci se u ovim krajevima doslovce nalaze

na svakom koraku. Kao jedan od simbola Hercegovine, šipak je postao i omiljeni motiv slikara što se vidi po našim umjetnič-kim galerijama, gdje najmanje jedna trećina slika s motivom mrtve prirode predstavlja upravo šipke. Ovo voće je na našem području jako jednostavno uzgojiti.

Šipak dozrijeva krajem rujna ili u prvoj polovici listopada. Plod je okruglastog oblika, različite veličine, s debelom korom čija je osnovna boja žuta, a sa sunčane strane se u obliku do-punske boje razlijeva crvena. Zrnje je veliko i sočno, svijetlo crvene boje i kiselkastog okusa. Od šipka najčešće konzumira-mo zrna, te pravimo pekmez i popularni sok od šipka.

Izraelski znanstvenik Michael Aviram utvrdio je da sok od šipka ima snažnu antioksidativnu moć, snažniju čak i od crnog vina i zelenog čaja. Njegove preliminarne studije pokazale su da je antioksidativni kapacitet soka od šipka bio čak tri puta jači od iste količine zelenog čaja ili crnog vina.

Po povijesnim nalazima, šipak je još u kameno doba bio po-znat i omiljen kao pekmez. Njegova ljekovitost spominje se u Vedama, kao i djelima staroislandske književnosti i mitologije. Divlji šipak je od davnina poznat u ljekarništvu i prehrani, pa je nekada služio kao hrana siromašnim slojevima. I danas ga narod rabi za liječenje zubobolje, bolesti bubrega, dizenterije i padavice. Pripisuju mu se mnoga medicinska svojstva, od otklanjanja malaksalosti, umora, anemije (slabokrvnosti), kao i antiupalna svojstva pri upalama unutarnjih organa. Neki narodi od šipka spravljaju kompote, salate, kolače, juhe i druga jela.

Pomegranate is definitely one of the symbols of Herzegovina. Self-grown, wild pomegranates grow practically everywhere.

As one of the symbols of Herzegovina, pomegranate became a favourite motif on paintings, often seen in our galleries, where at least one third of the paintings of still nature show pomegran-ates. The fruit is very easy to grow in this region.

Pomegranates ripen in late September or early October. This fruit is round-shaped, of varying sizes, with a thick skin whose basic colour is yellow, while the side exposed to the sun turns red. The seeds, called arils, are large and juicy, bright-red and slightly sour. Arils are the edible part of pomegranate, and can be processed into jam or the popular pomegranate juice.

Israeli scientist Michael Aviram found out that the pome-granate juice has powerful antioxidant properties, more powerful than red wine and green tea. His preliminary studies have shown that the pomegranate juice has three times the an-tioxidant activity of the same quantity of green tea or red wine.

According to archaeological finds, pomegranate was known as early as in the Stone Age and favoured processed into jam. Its medicinal properties were mentioned in the Vedas, as well as in the Old Icelandic texts and mythology. Wild pomegranate has been known since antiquity for its medicinal properties and as food, and was once food of the poor. Nowadays, it is used in traditional medicine to treat toothache, kidney problems, dys-entery, and epilepsy. It has many health benefits attributed to it, from eliminating exhaustion and fatigue, anaemia, to having anti-inflammatory properties in case of inflammation of internal organs. Some peoples use it to prepare preserves, salads, cakes, soups, and other dishes.

Negdje se ovo jelo naziva hercegovački japrak, a negdje sarmi-ce s raštikom. Jelo vuče svoje korijene iz Libanona, Palestine, Sirije. Da bi se napravio japrak potrebna je raštika (poznata pod nazivima raštan, rašćika, lisnati kelj) i meso. Raštika se smatra jednom od najzdravijih namirnica na svijetu i to s razlogom - siromašna je kalorijama, a bogata vitaminima i mineralima. Okus mesa u raštici je poseban, a japrak može-te napraviti s dodatkom suhog mesa. Jesti se može hladno i vruće, s prilogom od pire krumpira ili bez priloga, a možete ga poslužiti uz dodatak kiselog vrhnja. Izaberite svoju kom-binaciju i uživajte u ovom nezaboravnom tradicionalnom jelu.

Pura je neko vrijeme nosila obilježje sirotinjske hrane, te je bila nepopularno jelo, ali s trendom afirmacije tradicionalnog i tipičnog, i u Hercegovini su mnogi ponovno otkrili puru sa sirom i kajmakom i danas ju je moguće naći u ponudi boljih restorana. Osim kaše, pura se začinjava i lučinicom koja se priprema s uprženim maslom na tavi, pa kada se maslo malo ohladi, doda se češnjak satrven i uvaljan u sol i sjedini se s maslom. Pura je posebno korisna za probavu i veoma je laga-no jelo. Ima malu kalorijsku vrijednost. Zajedno s pogačom i krumpirom, pura zauzima jednako važno mjesto u tradicional-noj hercegovačkoj kuhinji.

Japrak rollsJaprak

PolentaPura

This dish is sometimes called Herzegovinian japrak, and sometimes collards rolls. It originates from Lebanon, Pal-estine, and Syria and is prepared with collards (there are different local variations of the name of this vegetable) and minced meat. Collards are globally considered to be among the healthiest foods and for a reason - they are low-calorie and rich in vitamins and minerals. Collards give meat a specif-ic aroma. Japrak rolls can also be cooked with smoked meat, consumed cold or warm, and go well with a serving of mashed potatoes or sour cream. Choose your combination and enjoy this unforgettable traditional dish.

Unfortunately, at a certain point in time, polenta was consid-ered to be the food of the poor, and was not popular. However, as the trend of traditional and local food emerged, many peo-ple in Herzegovina rediscovered polenta with cheese or cream, and nowadays it is on the menus of high-end restaurants. In ad-dition to being served with a bacon-based sauce, polenta is also served with the so-called lučinica. To prepare lučinica, several cloves of garlic are crushed and rolled in salt, and then added to browned and slightly cooled butter. Polenta is a low-calorie, light meal, beneficial for the digestive system. Together with the pogača bread and potatoes, it occupies an equally impor-tant place in the traditional Herzegovinian cuisine.

TRADITIONAL CUISINETradicionalna jela

Radi se o siru od ovčijeg, kravljeg ili kozijeg mlijeka ili od mješavine ovih vrsta mlijeka, koji sazrijeva u mješinama od ovčije kože: to je genijalan sistem za čuvanje i transport lako kvarljivog prehrambenog proizvoda, a i način da se ne protraći ni jedan dio od životinje. Zna da su od 1300. godine, krajem svakog ljeta, stanovnici Dubrovnika nestrpljivo čekali pastire-trgovce iz Hercegovine da bi kupili meso i sir iz mijeha.

Sir iz mijeha, radi njegovih karakteristika nije moguće pro-izvoditi industrijski, a od 2006. prisutan je na međunarodnoj slow food sceni.

Naziv pršut ima jasno latinsko porijeklo, od pro, što znači "prije", i "exsuctus", što znači "isušeno". To je nekuhani pršut, ukusan ali ne slan, sa snažnim notama drveta od dimljenja. Period zrenja traje od minimalno šest mjeseci do godinu i pol, period koji je prema mnogima idealan. Posebnost hercegovač-kog pršuta očituje se u tradicionalnom i prirodnom procesu njegove proizvodnje, bez dodanog konzervansa i aditiva. Bilo da se radi o spoju vjetrova koji neprestano pušu u Hercegovi-ni, a koji su u zimskim mjesecima potrebni za sušenje ovoga proizvoda, godinama iskustava ljudi koji ih suše, dodavanju samo prirodnih začina pri premazivanju pršuta ili nečem sa-svim drugom, neosporno je da je pršut koji biva sušen na ovim područjima proizvod koji će zadovoljiti nepce i najzahtjevnijeg gurmana.

Sheepskin cheeseSir iz mijeha

Prosciutto Pršut

This cheese is made of sheep, cow or goat milk, or a combi-nation of the three, and left to age in sheepskin sacks. It is an ingenious system to preserve and transport perishable food, also not allowing any part of an animal to go to waste. It is well known that at the end of each summer since 1300, citi-zens of Dubrovnik impatiently waited for shepherds - traders from Herzegovina to buy meat and sheepskin cheese from them.

Due to its characteristics, sheepskin cheese cannot be produced on an industrial scale. It has been present on the international slow food scene since 2006.

The name prosciutto is clearly of Latin origin, derived from the words pro, meaning before, and exsuctus, meaning dried up. This ham is not boiled, it is tasty, but not salty, with a strong aroma of wood used for smoking it. It matures between six months and a year and a half, which, according to many, is the ideal period for smoking prosciutto. Herzegovinian prosciutto is made special by the traditional and natural production process, during which no preservatives or additives are added. It may be the combination of winds that constantly blow in Herzegovina, necessary to dry this product during winter months, years of ex-perience of the men who smoke it, addition of only natural spic-es when preparing the meat for smoking or something entirely different, but there is no doubt that prosciutto smoked in this region will satisfy the palate of the most demanding food lovers.

Zima nije zima u Hercegovini bez raštike i suhog mesa: radi se o tradiciji koja je ostala uglavnom nepromijenjena stoljećima, a čiju glavnu ulogu igra poseban tip kupusa sa listovima i "bez glavice" čije uzgoj u ovim područjima seže u davnu prošlost. To je povrće vrlo prilagodljivo svim uvjetima tla i klime, često raste i spontano, te se bere u najhladnijim mjesecima. Jasno je zašto je za poljoprivrednike u prošlosti predstavljala drago-cjenu hranu u borbi protiv gladi, njeno sjeme se brižno čuvalo, kako bi se osigurala proizvodnja iz godine u godinu; još i danas oni koji uzgajaju raštiku ljubomorno čuvaju svoj urod. Posebnim ovu biljku čini to što njen kiselo-slatki okus nikog ne ostavlja ravnodušnim.

Uštipci su jedno od najjednostavnijih jela naše kuhinje. Riječ je zapravo o smjesi sličnoj onoj od koje se pravi kruh, samo što je malo tečnija. Razlika je u tome da se žlicom uzme mala količi-na smjese koja se brzo isprži u vrelom ulju ili drugoj masnoći. Uštipci se kod nas često prave i serviraju uz sir, najčešće uz sir iz mijeha ili livanjski sir i uz suho meso.

Riječ je o starom receptu koji je odvajkada poznat na ovim područjima. Potvrda tome je i činjenica da se uštipci spominju u nekim poznatim starim narodnim pjesmama koje su putem usmene tradicije očuvane do današnjih dana.

Collards Raštika

Uštipci doughnuts Uštipci

There is no winter in Herzegovina without collards and smoked meat. This is a tradition that remains mostly un-changed for centuries, and the main role is played by a type of leafy cabbage that does not form a head and has been grown in the region for ages. The vegetable is highly adaptable to every type of soil and climate, it is often self-grown, and is harvested in the coldest months of the year. It is clear then why the farmers in the past considered it precious in fighting famine; its seed was carefully preserved to ensure future cul-tivation. Those who grow collards still protectively guard their crop. No one will remain indifferent to the special sour-sweet taste of this vegetable.

Uštipci doughnuts are among the simplest types of food in the local cuisine. They are made of dough similar to bread dough, but with the consistency similar to that of a batter. Uštipci are made by taking a spoonful of dough and quickly frying it in hot oil or other type of fat. They are very common and are served with cheese, usually sheepskin cheese or Livno cheese, and smoked meat.

The recipe is ancient and uštipci have been mentioned in several famous old folk songs that the word of mouth saved till the present day.

TRADITIONAL CUISINETradicionalna jela

Baklava je posebna vrsta kolača koja se sprema za Bajram i druge posebne prigode. Riječ je o slatkoj piti s orasima, koja se pravi od tankih jufki i peče u tepsiji. Ovo je jedno od najsta-rijih turskih jela, koje se pravilo još u vrijeme Osmanskog car-stva i koje još uvijek zauzima počasno mjesto za bajramskom sofrom. Svaka će domaćica upravo za svoj recept, reći da je najbolji. Mada se osim oraha u baklavu mogu stavljati grožđi-ce, bademi i drugi orašasti plodovi, prava baklava je baklava u kojoj se nalaze samo orasi. Recept za spremanje baklave je naizgled jednostavan, ali iskusne domaćice dobro znaju da na izgled i ukus baklave ne utječu samo sastojci, nego i način slaganja, pečenja i zalijevanja baklave.

Intenzivnija proizvodnja meda u BiH seže u drugu polovicu XIX. stoljeća, s početkom proizvodnje košnica sa pokretnim saćem u području Bihaća, 1884., danas Hercegovina preuzima primat u preradi i proizvodnji meda, spajajući poštovanje pre-ma prirodi i napredne tehnološke procese. Hercegovački med, zajedno sa bihaćkim, najpoznatiji je na Balkanu, naročito radi svojih aromatičnih svojstava i radi nezagađenog zemljišta na kojem se nalaze pčele, a karakterizira ga relativan nedostatak drvenaste nektarske vegetacije u korist travnatog rastinja.

Baklava cakeBaklava

HoneyMed

Baklava is a special cake prepared for the Bayram holiday (Eid al-Fitr) and other special occasions. It is a sweet pie consisting of phyllo pastry filled with walnuts and baked. This is one of the oldest Turkish dishes, prepared during the Ottoman era, and it still occupies a place of honour during the Bayram feast. Every cook will say that his/her recipe is the best. Although resins, almonds, and other nuts can be used to prepare baklava, the real baklava is the one with walnuts only. The recipe is simple at first glance, but experienced cooks know that the look and taste of baklava does not depend only on the ingredients, but also on the manner of layering, baking, and soaking it in syrup.

Honey production in BiH intensified in late 19th century, when the production of beehives with removable frames began in 1884 in the Bihać area. Today, Herzegovina took the leading role in processing and production of honey, bringing togeth-er respect of nature and advanced technological processes. Herzegovinian honey, together with the Bihać honey, is the most famous on the Balkans, particularly known for its aro-matic characteristics and the unpolluted area where the bees live. The ground relatively lacks nectar-producing trees, but is rich in grass.

Mostar nas uglavnom asocira na Stari most, sunce, Ne-retvu... Mnogi ne znaju da Mostar ima što ponuditi i u

zimskom periodu.Na samo 20 km udaljenosti od Mostara, u smjeru sjevera,

na samoj periferiji planina Prenj i Velež, nalazi se nataknuti dragulj prirode Ruište. Okružen munikom, endemskim i danas vrlo rijetkim drvetom, glasi kao jedan od prostora najboga-tijih kisikom u ovom dijelu Europe. Ovo područje poznato je po prirodnim ljepotama, te je zbog toga omiljeno među svim ljubiteljima prirode.

Osim planinara, izletnika i obožavatelja prirode, Ruište kao svoje odredište biraju i sportaši tijekom priprema za natje-canja. Taj planinski prostor na oko 1.050 metara nadmorske visine zimi postaje skijalište.

Za iskusnije planinare Ruište je samo usputna destinacija u osvajanju velike i prirodnim ljepotama bogate planine Prenj, koja ima šest vrhova koji se nalaze na više od 2.000 metara nadmorske visine. Planinari koji posjete te vrhove, od kojih je najviši vrh Zelena glava na 2.155 metara nadmorske visine, dožive istinsko zadovoljstvo.

Mostar is usually associated with the Old Bridge, the sun, Neretva River... What many don't know is that Mostar's

attractions extend into the winter. The untouched jewel, Ruište, is located some 20 km

north of Mostar, almost at the bottom of the Prenj and Velež mountains. Surrounded by munika trees, a rare and endemic species, it is among the places with the richest oxygen content in the air in this part of Europe. The area is known for its rich beauty and is therefore favoured by nature lovers.

In additions to hikers, picnic-goers and nature lovers, Ruište is also visited by athletes who prepare for competi-tions. The mountainous area at 1,050 m altitude becomes a skiing destination during winter.

Ruište is but a stop along the way for more experienced mountain climbers whose goal is to conquer the large and beautiful Prenj mountain, which has six peeks above 2,000 m. Climbing those peeks, among which the highest is the Zelena glava peak (Green Head) at 2,155 m, is a true pleasure.

Ruište – untouched nature Ruište - netaknuta priroda

BEAUTIES OF NATUREPrirodne ljepote

Ruište je izletište koje privlači ljubitelja prirode, te ljudi koji dođu na jednodnevni ili dvodnevni izlet, odmor i rekreaciju. Posjećeno je tijekom cijele godine - zimi ima snijega, a ljeti mnogo građana dođe tu kako bi pobjeglo od visokih mostar-skih temperatura. Zbog znatne visinske razlike, boravak je posebno ugodan ljeti kada je temperatura niža i do 11�C u odnosu na centar Mostara.

Skijaše i bordere posebno raduje zima kada je Ruište u svom najvećem sjaju. Staza raspolaže ski liftom na skromnih 950 metara dužine, ali za početnike i one koji ne mogu doći do većih skijaških centara, ovo je pravi mali planinski raj, koji je svojim posjetiteljima osigurao i uvjete za noćno skijanje i ski školu. Dužina trim staze je 1.100 metara.

Na Ruištu se nalazi hotel Snježna kuća, uređen drve-nim elementima koji posjetiteljima nudi ugodan i topao ugođaj.

Ruište je periferija Prenja, ali ništa manje lijepo i zanimljivo mjesto gdje će se ljudi zaljubiti u prirodu.

Ruište is an attractive picnic area for nature lovers and those who come to spend a day or two to go on a picnic, to rest, or en-gage in recreational activities. Visitors come throughout the year - there is snow during the winter, while in the summer, people flock to Ruište to escape the high temperatures in Mostar. Due to the considerable altitude, spending time at Ruište is especially pleasant during the summer, when temperature can be as much as 11�C lower than in downtown Mostar.

Ruište is at the height of its splendour during the winter - the favourite season of skiers and snowboarders. The ski track has a small, 950 m long ski lift, but for beginners and those unable to go to larger ski centres, this place is a small piece of heaven that also provides night skiing and a ski school. The trim track is 1,100 m long.

Snježna kuća Hotel at Ruište is decorated with wooden ele-ments that create a pleasant and warm atmosphere.

Ruište represents outskirts of the Prenj mountain, but nev-ertheless is a beautiful and interesting location guaranteed to make people fall in love with nature.

Udruga za promociju biciklizma "Herzegovina Bike", realizira projekt izrade biciklističkih sta-

za kako na području Mostara, tako i na području Hercegovine. Ovaj projekt je jedan od njihovih ciljeva, a to su popularizacija biciklizma kao sporta ali i sredstva koje može povezati turističke kapacitete Mostara i Hercegovine kroz sportsko-rekreativni biciklizam, odnosno cikloturizam. Tako je i nastala jedna od ljepših staza.

Jedna od najjačih monarhija u povijesti, ona austrougarska, ostavila je važan pečat u historiji i razvitku Mostara. Kako je grad bio jedan od važnijih, monarhija je izgradila sistem utvr-da u okolici grada.

Fortovi ili stalne utvrde građeni su na uzvisinama s kojih se pružao dobar pogled na okolinu, nužan za odbranu od nepri-jatelja, a tako je bila osigurana i vizualna veza sa susjednim utvrdama. Najviše utvrda građeno je jugoistočno Mostara na području Podveležja, kuda ova staza i prolazi. Trasa ove staze ujedno pripada području Bike parka Velež, gdje su preciznije označene sve utvrde na tom području.

Opis staze:Start je na Španskom trgu u središtu Mostara i to je po-lazna tačka svih biciklističkih ruta na području Mostara. Staza vodi do hotela Ero nakon čega skreće desno prema Carinskom mostu i željezničkoj stanici. Odmah nakon sta-nice, staza vodi desno i prolazi kroz podvožnjak nakon čega počinje uspon. Prelaskom preko magistralne ceste dolazi se na lokalni put koji vodi brdom Fortica na kojem se nalazi više austrougarskih utvrda. Do prve se dolazi već nakon 6 kilometra, gdje se nalazi raskrsnica za prvu utvrdu. Staza vodi pravo, a put za utvrdu je lijevo. Do nje se dolazi za 10-tak minuta. Staza dalje ide uzbrdo sve do 10. kilometra,

Podveležje – following the route of Austro-Hungarian fortsPodveležje – stazom austrougarskih utvrda

Herzegovina Bike Association for Promotion of Cycling is implementing a project of making bike

paths both in Mostar and in Herzegovina. This effort is part of their goals, primarily popularisation of cycling as a sport, but also a way to connect the tourist capacities of Mostar and Herzegovina through the sport of cycling and recreational cycling, or rather, cyclotourism. This is the story of how one of the most beautiful cycling paths was made:

One of the most powerful monarchies in history, Austro-Hun-garian Monarchy left an important trace in the history and devel-opment of Mostar. As the city was among the most important ones, the Monarchy constructed a system of forts on its outskirts.

Forts of permanent fortifications were constructed on eleva-tions with a commanding view of the area necessary for defence, and simultaneously ensuring a visual connection with the neigh-bouring forts. The largest number of forts was built southeast of Mostar, in the Podveležje area, through which the path goes. This bike path belongs to the Velež Bike Park, and all the forts in the area are well marked.

Path description:The path begins at the Spanish Square in downtown Mostar, which is the starting point of all cycling routes in Mostar. The path leads to Hotel Ero, then turns right towards the Carinski Bridge and the railway station. After reaching the railway station, it turns left and soon after turns right again, goes through an underpass, and that is when the ascent starts. It crosses the main road and reaches the local road up the Fortica Hill where there are several Austro-Hun-garian Forts. The first fort is reached after the 6th kilometre, where there is an intersection and the bike path continues straight, while the road to the fort goes left. It takes around 10 minutes to reach the fort from the intersection. The bike path continues uphill and

Na 14. kilometru dolazi se do raskrsnice i maka-damske ceste koja vodi sve do vrha planine Velež. Staza se nastavlja asfaltom i vodi kroz mjesto Podveležje gdje se možete okrijepiti, a onda se nastavlja lokalnom cestom sve do 25. kilometra, gdje skreće desno i uključuje se na cestu Mostar - Nevesinje. Spuštajući se 10-tak kilometara cestom, s lijeve strane na brdu Hum, iznad Blagaja, vidi se tvrđava hercega Stjepana Kosače, vladara po kojem je Hercegovina dobila ime. Staza se spušta sve do Bišće polja, a onda se u Gnojnicama uključuje na put Blagaj - Mostar. Kasnije ide i magistralnom cestom M-17 sve do Starog grada i Starog mo-sta nakon čega završava na Španskom trgu, gdje je i počela.

Vino se u ovom području pije preko 2.200 godina.Bosna i Hercegovina baštini vinogradarsko vinarsku

kulturu još od ilirskoga doba. Prve sadnice vinove loze su na Balkan donijeli Tračani.

Kada govorimo o povijesti uzgoja vinove loze u BiH, bitno je napomenuti da je ovo područje bilo u znatno širim granicama od današnjih. Naime, srednjovjekovna Bosna je nekada bila, i bez kasnije pripojenog južnog djela (Huma), prepoznatljiva vinogradarsko vinarska zemlja. U srednjem vijeku je gotovo svaka velikaška obitelj u Bosni imala svoje vinograde. O ovome jasno govore prvi detaljni katastarski popisi koji datiraju iz XV. i XVI. stoljeća.

Dolaskom Turaka, i procesom islamizacije Bosne, ova proizvodnja se u XVI., XVII. i XVIII. stoljeću postupno gasi i na kraju nestaje. Uzroci nestanka vinove loze u Bosni su višestruki, a najzaslužniji su česti ratovi, jer vinova loza kao kultura zahtjeva visok stupanj ljudskog angažmana.

Vinarstvo kao gospodarska grana postaje značajan izvor prihoda u Hercegovini krajem XIX. stoljeća, kada se bilježe i prvi izvozi vina prema zapadnoj Europi, a ovakav trend se nastavlja osvajanjem tržišta širom svijeta.

Vinarstvo u Hercegovini imalo je svojih uspona i padova ali nikada nije prestalo biti glavna grana poljoprivrede, a može se reći i način života ovdašnjih ljudi.

Hercegovački vinari danas žele biti prepoznati po žilavci i blatini kao jedinstvenim sortama u vinarskom svijetu, i prezentirati sebe svijetu kroz ovo vino koje u sebi nosi miris zemlje i žestinu hercegovačkog sunca.

ŽilavkaO podrijetlu imena Žilavka teško je dati točan odgovor, ali pretpostavka o njenom imenu koje simbolizira fine žilice, koje se naziru u doba pune zrelosti grožđa u bobici kroz njenu debelu, ali prozirnu kožicu, može se uzeti kao logična, a dodatak hercegovačka kao da hoće reći nigdje tako raskoš-na, nježna, blagotvorna i izdašna da nadoknadi brigu i trud vinogradara kao u Hercegovini u kojoj je nastala, formirala

Wine has been consumed in this region for over 2200 years. Bosnia-Herzegovina inherited the wine-growing and wine-

making culture from the Illyrian period. First grapevine seedlin-gs were brought to the Balkans by the Thracians. When speaking about the history of grapevine growing in BiH, we need to note that this region used to be much larger than to-day. Medieval Bosnia used to be, even without the later annexed southern part (called Hum), well known as a wine-growing and winemaking country. In the Middle Ages, almost every noble family in Bosnia had its vineyards. This is quite clear from the first detailed cadastral lists dating back to 15th and 16th century.

When the Ottomans arrived and the Islamisation of Bosnia began, wine production gradually declined during 16th, 17th, and 18th century and eventually stopped. There are several rea-sons why grapevine in Bosnia disappeared, the most common ones being frequent wars, because growing grapevine requires a lot of dedication.

Winemaking as an industry became a significant source of in-come in Herzegovina in late 19th century, when the first exports of wine to Western Europe were recorded. The trend continued by expanding to the markets in the rest of the world.

Winemaking in Herzegovina had its ups and downs, but never stopped being the main agricultural industry, we dare say, the way the local people lived.

Herzegovinian winemakers today want to be recognised for the unique žilavka and blatina grape varieties, and present themselves to the rest of the world through these two wines that carry in them the scent of earth and the power of the Herzegovinian sun.

ŽilavkaOrigins of this grape variety's name are hard to determine. The name is presumed to symbolise the tiny veins on the berries when they are ripe, visible through the thick but transparent skin. The explanation seems logical, and we may add, typical in Herzegovina, as if it is trying to say that nowhere else does the grapevine wish to compensate for the care and hard work

karakteristike, prilagodila se i poistovjetila sa sunčanim i kršnim ambijentom Hercegovine.

Od kultivira žilavka proizvode se kvalitetna, a s probranih položaja (vinograda) vrhunska vina.

Vino Žilavka svatko ponaosob doživljava na svoj način. Ono privlači ljubitelje dobre kapljice svojom posebnošću i osebujnošću, specifičnim mirisom, zaobljenošću, snagom ka-rakterističnom za južna vina. Žilavka nosi pečat Hercegovine.

Divna kristalno čista, zelenkasto žuta boja, specifična aroma, skladan odnos alkohola i kiselina, bogat ekstrakt, izdvajaju Žilavku od drugih vina.

Hercegovci je piju uz janjetinu, lešo ili pečenu na ražnju, zatim uz jegulju i uz druge slatkovodne ali i morske ribe, uz sir iz mijeha i pršut. Posluživati je obvezno rashlađenu na temperaturi od 10 do 12�C .

BlatinaBlatina je autohtoni kultivar (sorta) Hercegovine. Ona ima funkcionalno ženski cvijet (autosterilan) zbog čega se u nasadima uvijek uzgaja s drugim kultivarima (sortama) kao što su Allicante bouschet (kambuša), merlot i trnjak koji su ujedno i oprašivači blatine. Zbog kiša u vrijeme oplodnje, znade podbaciti rodom, pa je nazivaju "praznobačvom". Blatina je kvalitetno, a s probranih položaja vrhunsko suho crveno (crno) vino proizvedeno od istoimene sorte grožđa uz dodatak do 15 % sorti oprašivača.

To je snažno i svježe suho, crveno vino s 12-13,5 vol. % alkohola. Boje je tamno rubin crvene, prepoznatljive svoj-stvene arome, puna i harmonična okusa. Kao južno vino posjeduje zadovoljavajuću koncentraciju kiselina. Za vino je dobro da odleži koju godinu u drvenim bačvama, čak štoviše, kakvoća mu raste, kažu, do pet godina starosti.

Preporuča ga se piti uz jača jela od mesa, divljač, a poseb-no uz pečenja, riblje paprikaše, uz nareske od goveđeg pršu-ta. Pije se polako, čisto, temperirano na 18 do 20�C iz lijepo oblikovanih čaša, a u seoskom ambijentu i iz drvene bukare.

Čuvajte se njezine snage! U njoj je kondenzirano sunce, sabrana sva hercegovačka ljetna žega.

of the winegrowers by being so luxurious, gentle, beneficial, and abundant than in Herzegovina, where it came into being, formed its properties, adapted itself and became one with the sun and karst of Herzegovina.

Quality wines are produced from cultivated žilavka, while supreme quality wines are produced from žilavka growing on selected positions (vineyards).

Everyone has a different impression of the Žilavka wine. It attracts wine lovers by being special and distinct, by having a specific smell, roundness, power characteristic for southern wines. Žilavka carries the stamp of Herzegovina.

Beautiful, crystal clear greenish yellow colour, specific aroma, a balanced ratio of alcohol and acids, rich extract - all of these characteristics make Žilavka stand out among other wines.

Herzegovinians drink it with lamb, either boiled or roasted on a spit, with eel and other freshwater and saltwater fish, sheep-skin cheese, and prosciutto. It is best served cooled to 10-12�C.

BlatinaBlatina is a grape variety native to Herzegovina. It has a fun-ctionally female flower (auto-sterile), which is why it is always grown with other varieties in plantations, such as Allicante bouschet (kambuša), merlot, and trnjak, which at the same time pollinate blatina. If it rains during the insemination, it may fail in bringing forth fruit, and is then called "empty barrel". Blatina is a good quality red wine from selected positions, produced from the grape variety of the same name with an addition of the polli-nating varieties up to 15%.

It is a strong and fresh dry red wine with a 12 to 13.5% alco-hol content. It has a dark ruby colour, recognisable and distinct aroma, and a full and harmonic flavour. As a southern wine, it has a satisfactory concentration of acids. It is good for this wine to age for a couple of years in wooden barrels, and according to connoisseurs, its quality will continue to improve until it is five years old.

It is recommended with strong-flavoured meat, game, par-ticularly with roasted meat, fish stews, smoked beef. It is to be drunk slowly, pure, cooled to 18 to 20�C, from nicely shaped glasses, and in a countryside setting, from a wooden pitcher.

Beware of its power! It has the condensed sun and all the Herzegovinian heat in it.

Kravice waterfalls, LjubuškiKravice waterfalls are located in the Herzegovinian landscape in the municipality of Ljubuški. The magical and beautiful water-falls are on the Trebižat river and are approximately 28 m high.

This beauty of nature annually attracts a large number of vis-itors. In the summertime, due to the lower water levels, the pool beneath the waterfalls is used for swimming and water sports. A small cave with stalactites made of calcium carbonate is located nearby, as well as an old watermill and a boat. Without a doubt, Kravice waterfalls are among the most beautiful natural attrac-tions in Herzegovina. At any time of the year, due to the different water levels of the Trebižat river, the waterfalls offer a different experience. During the tourist season, several restaurants near the waterfalls offer food from the grill and fish. Experienced lo-cal skippers organise pleasant 10 km long canoeing trips on the Trebižat river at affordable prices. Such an adventure should not be missed, because the hectic rhythm of everyday life will seem like a distant memory in these surroundings.

Kravice, LjubuškiU heregovačkom kršu, na području općine Ljubuški nalaze se vodopadi Kravice. Svojim tokom, rijeka Trebižat stvara ove čudesne i prekrasne vodopade visine približno 28 metara.

Ova prirodna ljepota kroz godinu privuče velik broj posjetite-lja. U ljetnom periodu, zbog nižeg vodostaja rijeke, bazen ispod slapova nudi uživanje u plivanju i vodenim sportovima. U blizini vodopada nalazi se i mala pećina u kojoj se mogu vidjeti stalakti-ti od kalcijum karbonata, stari mlin i brodić. Nema sumnje da su vodopadi Kravice među najljepšim prirodnim ljepotama u Herce-govini uopće. U svako doba godine, zbog razine vodostaja rijeke Trebižat, vodopadi nude različit doživljaj. U sezoni, nekoliko re-storana koji se nalaze u blizini slapova nude jela s roštilja i riblje specijalitete. Rijeka Trebižat omogućuje i prijatne izlete kanuom, u dužini od 10 km i po pristupačnim cijenama koje organizuju lokalni iskusni operateri. Ovakvo što ne treba propustiti, jer će vam se frenetični ritam svakodnevnog života u ovom ambijentu činiti samo dalekim sjećanjem.

PočiteljU dolini Neretve, glavno uporište u obrani od Turaka bilo je u Počitelju. Tvrđava je imala je stratešku ulogu u kon-troliranju puta do mora dolinom rijeke Neretve. Danas, historijski gradić Počitelj, izgrađen ispod tvrđave, ima ori-jentalni izgled i kao takav je potpuno u funkciji turizma i kulturnih priredbi.

Ovo jedinstveno naselje uvršteno je na UNESCO-vu listu. Iako se grad prvi put u pisanim dokumentima spominje

1444. godine, pretpostavlja se da ga je dao izgraditi bosanski kralj Tvrtko 1383. godine. Ovaj srednjovjekovni gradić imao je mediteranski izgled, ali je nakon turskog osvajanja poprimio orijentalni izgled. Mješavina ova dva graditeljska stila daje Počitelju posebnu dimenziju.

Izuzev izvanredne orijentalne arhitekture i osmanlijskog "štiha", Počitelj je zanimljiv i poznat kao domaćin likovnoj koloniji sa najdužom tradicijom u jugoistočnoj Evropi.

PočiteljPočitelj was the main stronghold against the Ottomans in the Neretva valley. The fort had a strategic role in controlling the route through the Neretva valley to the coast. Nowadays, the historic town of Počitelj, built below the fort, has an oriental look and functions as a tourist attraction and a location for cultural events.

This unique settlement was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Even though the town was for the first time mentioned in written records in 1444, it is assumed that it was built by the Bosnian King Tvrtko in 1383. This mediaeval town was once Mediterranean in appearance but after the Ottoman conquest, assumed oriental look. Mixture of the two building styles gives Počitelj a special dimension.

In addition to the exceptional oriental architecture and the Ottoman atmosphere, Počitelj is also famous for hosting an art colony with the longest tradition in south-eastern Europe.

Međugorje - a place of prayer and peaceMeđugorje is a Marian and global centre of prayer often com-pared to Lourdes and Fatima. In the first 20 years, it was visit-ed by 20 million pilgrims, and every year more come to testify that they have finally found peace and faith at the heart of Herzegovina, Međugorje.

The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the six children for the first time on 24th June 1981. According to the unanimous testi-mony of the visionaries, Our Lady uses them as an instrument to carry to the believers the messages of peace, love, faith, fast, prayer, and conversion. Every pilgrim visits the parish church of Saint James located in the centre of the village, the Apparition Hill in Bijakovići - the place where Our Lady appeared for the first time, Križevac Hill with a large cross installed there in 1934, St. Francis Garden, Mother's Village, and the Cenacolo Community.

Međugorje is the largest tourist and pilgrimage centre in Bos-nia-Herzegovina, which is why it is home to so much diversity, and this diversity makes it the richest centre in the region. It bears witness to the fact that the diversity in prayer can become a great force capable of changing the people and the world.

Fundamental message of Međugorje is peace.

Međugorje - mjesto molitve i miraMeđugorje je marijansko i svjetsko molitveno središte koje se često uspoređuje sa Lourdesom i Fatimom. U prvih 20 godina, Međugorje je posjetilo 20 milijuna hodočasnika i svake godine je sve više onih koji dolaze i onih koji svjedoče da su upravo ovdje u srcu Hercegovine, u Međugorju, napokon pronašli mir i vjeru.

Blažena Marija Djevica se ukazala djeci prvi put, njih še-stero, 24. 6. 1981. Po jednodušnom svjedočanstvu vidjelaca, Gospa preko njih prenosi vjernicima poruke mira, ljubavi, vjere, posta, molitve i obraćenja. Svaki hodočasnik posjeti župnu crkvu sv. Jakova koja se nalazi u središtu mjesta, Brdo ukazanja u Bijakovićima - mjesto na kojemu se prvi put ukazala Gospa, brdo Križevac na kojemu se nalazi veliki Križ iz 1934. godine, Vrt sv. Franje, Majčino selo i zajednicu Cenacolo.

Međugorje je najveće turističko i hodočasničko središte Bo-sne i Hercegovine i zbog toga je u njemu mnoštvo različitosti što ga čini i najbogatijim središtem u regiji. Međugorje je veliki svjedok da različitosti u molitvi mogu postati velika snaga koja može preobratiti ljude i svijet.

Osnovna poruka Međugorja je mir.

Radimlja, StolacThe necropolis in Radimlja is the most famous stećci (medi-eval tombstones) site in Herzegovina. It is located 3 km west of Stolac, along the Stolac - Čapljina road. The necropolis is among the most valuable monuments from the Middle Ages in BiH. Its value is highlighted by the following characteristics: large number of tombstones, diversity and presence of all basic shapes, relatively high artistic quality, richness of dec-orations, reliefs and inscriptions that mention historic figures, and finally, its accessibility and location.

The necropolis has 133 stećci, of which 63 are decorated. They have an east-west orientation, and are located in a field surrounded by a rock mass that follows the direction of the Dinaridi rock mass. The trademark of this necropolis is a figure of a man with a raised, relatively large hand, which seems to be telling passers-by that in the hard and bare Herzegovin-ian landscape they will come across hospitable and friendly people.

The necropolis was declared a national monument of Bos-nia-Herzegovina.

Radimlja, StolacNekropola na Radimlji najpoznatiji je lokalitet stećaka, srednjo-vjekovnih nadgrobnih spomenika, u Hercegovini. Nalazi se 3 ki-lometra zapadno od Stoca, uz cestu Stolac - Čapljina. Nekropola spada u najvrijednije spomenike srednjovjekovnog perioda u BiH. Karateristike koje ističu njenu vrijednost su: brojnost primjeraka, raznovrsnost i zastupljenost svih osnovnih oblika, relativno visoka umjetnička kvaliteta izrade, bogatstvo plas-tičnih dekoracija, reljefnih predstava i natpisa koji spominju povijesne ličnosti te sama njena dostupnost i smještaj.

Na nekropoli se nalaze 133 stećka, od kojih je 63 ukrašeno. Orijentacija stećaka u prostoru je istok-zapad, a smješteni su u polju okruženom stijenskim masivom čiji pravac pružanja prati pravac pružanja Dinarida. Zaštitni znak ove nekropole je muška figura s uzdignutom rukom i relativno velikom šakom i prstima, koja kao da govori putniku da će u ovom tvrdom i kršnom hercegovačkom kraju naići na gostoljubive i prijatelj-ski raspoložene ljude.

Nekropola je proglašena nacionalnim spomenikom Bosne i Hercegovine.

BlagajBlagaj has always been a place to see for its beauty, fascinating nature and history, felt everywhere. The unique atmosphere of the Buna River's source, the tranquillity of Tekija, the Dervish Monas-tery, and the freshness of the Buna River make it a special place.

Blagaj and its surroundings are rich in surface and under-ground waters, karst formations and various types of rocks. In that aspect, Blagaj is among the most beautiful examples of geomorphological processes that took place in the area through-out the history.

The source of Buna River is one of the largest, and certainly the most beautiful water source in Europe. Water gushes out underneath a 200 m high vertical cliff on the top of which lie the remains of the herzeg Stjepan's fort. He was the last ruler of Herzegovina prior to the arrival of Ottomans. Having seen such amount of water that single-handedly creates a river, the Ottoman sultan was probably impressed, and ordered that the beautiful Dervish Tekija be built right next the river source. It is the most mystical place in the present-day Bosnia-Herzegovina.

There are 11 national monuments in Blagaj, every one of them an attraction to which the tourists flock.

BlagajBlagaj je oduvijek bio mjesto u koje se dolazilo zbog njegove ljepote, njegove očaravajuće prirode i historije koja se osjeti u svakom trenutku. Neponovljivi ambijent vrela Bune, mira Derviške Tekije i svježine rijeke Bune čine ga posebnim.

Blagaj i njegovu okolinu karakteriše raznolikost njegovih nadzemnih i podzemnih voda, te kraškh oblika i vrsta stijena. Blagaj u tom smislu predstavlja jedan od najljepših primjera geomorfoloških procesa koji su se kroz historiju odvijali na ovom terenu.

Izvorište Bune je jedno od najvećih i zasigurno najljepših u Evropi. Voda izbija ispod 200 m okomite litice, na čijem vrhu se nalazi ruševina starog grada Herceg - Stjepana, posljednjeg vladara Hercegovine prije osmanske vlasti. Vidjevši toliku količinu vode koja sama od sebe tvori rijeku, turski sultan je vjerojatno bio impresioniran, pa je naredio da se pored vrela Bune sagradi predivna Derviška tekija, koja danas predstavlja najmističnije mjesto u cijeloj Bosni i Hercegovini.

Blagaju ima 11 spomenika od nacionalne vrijednosti, koji su atraktivni i turisti ih rado posjećuju.

Čapljina – beauty on four riversThe town and the municipality of Čapljina are woven into the indented and gentle areas of the lower course of the Neretva River. It is surrounded by the structures from late antiquity, Mogorjelo and Gabela, the exotic landscape of Struge village, the ancient Počitelj town made of stone - a famous complex of medieval architecture, and the Hutovo blato wetland, one of the richest bird reserves in Europe.

You might call Čapljina a water mistress, as the town lies on four rivers, Neretva, Trebižat, Bregava, and Krupa. The surrounding relief is riddled with various formations that encompass the bare karst, river courses, canyons and gorges, waterfalls and gentle landscapes, and the green valley of the Neretva River.

The vicinity of the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean climate define the basic conditions in the Čapljina region, suitable for growing grapes and Mediterranean fruits and vegetables. Just like in the previous centuries, Čapljina still remains a desirable place to live in.

Čapljina - ljepotica na četiri rijekeGrad i općina Čapljina utkani su u razvedene i pitome pro-store donjeg toka Neretve. Okružuju ga kasnoantički objekti Mogorjelo i Gabela, egzotični krajolik Struga, drevni kameni Počitelj, nadaleko čuveni kompleks srednjovjekovne arhi-tekture, te Hutovo blato - jedan od najbogatijih rezervata ptica močvarica u Europi.

Čapljina je, može se reći - mezimica voda, grad na četiri rijeke: Neretvi, Trebižatu, Bregavi i Krupi. Okolni reljef je ispresijecan različitim oblicima u kojima se nadopunjuju goli krš, riječni tokovi, kanjoni i klisure, vodopadi i blagi pejzaži, te zelena riječna dolina Neretve.

Blizina Jadranskog mora i mediteranska klima stvaraju osnovne klimatske uvjete čapljinske regije koji su pogodni za uzgoj vinove loze te mediteranskoga voća i povrća. Da-nas, kao i ranije, Čapljina je mjesto poželjno za život.

Konjic - hugged by the mountainsKonjic is a town and the seat of the municipality located in the far north of the mountainous part of Herzegovina, in the central part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The municipality is rich in arable land and forests, huge water potential, pyrophyllite ore, accommodation, etc. Konjic is also attractive because the abundant nature fully encircles the town.

The Neretva River runs through the town centre. The old part of the town is very pleasant for a stroll, just like the town centre, which provides an interesting view of the surrounding nature in every direction. While in Konjic, do not miss to visit the reconstructed Kamena ćuprija (Stone bridge), originally built in 1682. Since early 1900, Konjic has been known for its woodcarving. However, the centres of the tourist attractions in Konjic must be the Boračko Lake and the Glavatičevo valley.

Several years ago, Konjic got another attraction that both local and foreign visitors flock to. Following the approval of the Ministry of Defence, Tito's bunker ARK, hidden from public for years, is now open to visitors.

The bunker covers an area of over 3000 m2, deep under the Prenj mountain, and was supposed to serve as a shelter to Mar-shal Tito and his entourage in case of the 3rd world war. Luckily, it never served its purpose, but as one of the best kept secrets of former Yugoslavia, it certainly hides many interesting stories.

Majority of recreational activities in the nature start here: mountaineering, camping, rafting, countryside tourism, kay-aking or canoeing, mountain biking, and even paragliding. The most northern town of Herzegovina has never been truly Herzegovinian, or truly Bosnian, but remains to be unique and inimitable. Bathing in the warm Herzegovinian sun, it greeted settlers from around the world, offered them home, and took care of them, and they returned it with love they wove into the buildings and streets.

Konjic - u zagrljaju planinaKonjic je grad i središte istoimene općine na krajnjem sjeveru planinske Hercegovine, u centralnom dijelu Bosne i Hercego-vine. Bogatstvo općine su poljoprivredno i šumsko zemljište, ogromni vodeni potencijal, velike zalihe rude pirofilita, turi-stički kapaciteti i dr. Konjic je atraktivan zbog bogate prirode koja u potpunosti okružuje grad.

Rijeka Neretva teče kroz sam centar. Stari grad je veoma lijep za šetnju, kao i centar grada, iz kojeg se u svakom pravcu pruža interesantan vidik na okolnu prirodu. Dok ste u Konjicu, obavezno prošećite obnovljenom Kamenom ćuprijom, sa-građenom 1682. godine. Od početka 1900. godine, Konjic je poznat po svom drvorezbarstvu. Središte turističke ponude Konjica je zasigurno Boračko jezero i dolina Glavatičevo.

Konjic je od prije nekoliko godina dobio još jednu atrakciju primamljivu i domaćim i stranim posjetiocima. Godinama skri-van od javnosti, Titov bunker ARK, uz odobrenje Ministarstva odbrane BiH danas mogu posjetiti svi.

Bunker se proteže na više od 3.000 kvadratnih metara duboko u utrobi planine Prenj, a trebao je poslužiti u slučaju izbijanja 3. svjetskog rata kao sigurno utočište maršalu Titu i njegovoj sviti. Na svu sreću, nikada nije poslužio svojoj svrsi, ali jedna od najčuvanijih tajni bivše Jugoslavije itekako krije mnoštvo zanimljivih priča.

Većina aktivnosti u prirodi kreće odavde: planinarenje, logorovanje, rafting, seoski turizam, vožnja kajakom ili ka-nuom, planinski biciklizam i paragliding. Najsjeverniji grad Hercegovine nikad nije bio ni "prava Hercegovina" niti "pra-va Bosna", već nešto zaista unikatno i neponovljivo. Okupan toplim hercegovačkim suncem dočekivao je doseljenike iz raznih krajeva svijeta, pružao im udoban dom i pazio ih, a oni su mu vraćali svom ljubavlju koju bi utkali u građevine i gradske ulice.

Čitluk – city of grapes and wineThe rocky plateau called Brotnjo, or Čitluk municipality, is the cradle of wine-growing and winemaking in Bosnia-Herzegovi-na. Almost every family in this municipality owns a vineyard and produces its own wine.

In this idyllic municipality, one of the most developed in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the traditional bond between man and grapevine exists in the true sense of the word. Grapevine has been cultivated here for centuries, the best wine, Žilavka and Blatina, have been drunk, and guests are greeted with love.

The Herzegovina Wine Route, whose moto is "With Wine through Time", opened the door to all wine lovers and those who appreciate the traditional way of life.

In addition to hotels, sports facilities, high-end restaurants, mu-seums, and galleries, there are also fourteen Brotnjo wine cellars, where you will taste the best wines in Bosnia-Herzegovina, meet the hard-working locals and their way of life, and learn about the cultural and historic heritage in the area. Your host will treat you to traditional food carrying the aroma of the ancient times.

If you cherish nature and hanging out with honest friends above all, if you seek calm in idyllic landscapes, if you always wish to learn something new and rest, if you enjoy sipping good wine and tasting traditional food, then the Herzegovina Wine Route indeed is the road that will "take you through time" with a glass of great wine in your hand.

Čitluk - grad grožđa i vinaKrševita visoravan Brotnjo ili općina Čitluk je kolijevka vinogra-darstva i vinarstva Bosne i Hercegovine. Skoro svaka obitelj u ovoj općini posjeduje vlastiti vinograd i proizvodi vlastita vina.

U ovoj idiličnoj općini, gospodarski jednoj od najrazvijenijih u Bosni i Hercegovini, posebno je izražena tradicionalna veza između čovjeka i vinove loze. Ovdje se loza obrađuje stoljećima i pije se najbolje vino Žilavka i Blatina, a gosti se dočekuju s ljubavlju.

Vinska cesta Hercegovine sa sloganom "S vinom kroz vri-jeme" je otvorila vrata svim ljubiteljima vina i tradicionalnog načina života

Pored hotela, sportskih objekata, vrhunskih restorana, muzeja i galerija, na raspolaganju je četrnaest broćanskih vinskih podruma, gdje ćete degustirati najbolja bosanskoher-cegovačka vina, upoznati radišne stanovnike i njihov način života te kulturno i povjesno naslijeđe ovoga kraja. Domaćin će Vas počastiti tradicionalnim jelima koja u sebi nose mirise davnih vremena.

Ako iznad svega poštujete prirodu i iskreno druženje, ako tražite mir u idiličnim prizorima, ako želite uvijek spoznati ne-što novo i odmoriti se, ako uživate u ispijanju kapljica vrhunskih vina i kušanju tradicionalnih jela onda je Vinska cesta Hercego-vine prava cesta koja će Vas "provesti kroz vrijeme" s čašicom vrhunskog vina u ruci.

The Neretva River is the true beauty of Herzegovina. It is 225 km long, its source is beneath the Jabuka mountain in the

mountainous area of Herzegovina, and it has characteristics of a mountain river in the major part of its course. Neretva is fast, foamy, green and clear, and in the canyon up the river from Kon-jic, it offers a unique, adrenaline-pumped experience to rafters.

On its course towards the Adriatic Sea, Neretva runs through some of the most beautiful towns in Bosnia-Herzegovina: Konnjic, Jablanica, Mostar, Čapljina, Počitelj. It is known for its emerald-green colour and clean water that is potable in its upper course.

In the last decade, rafting on Neretva became extremely popular. The most interesting rafting route on Neretva is the one between Glavatičevo and Konjic, as it has several exciting rap-ids, and is among the most attractive ones in Europe, with the difficulty level 2-3. The trip is about 23 km long and lasts about 5 hours, winding through a beautiful canyon with waterfalls you can watch on the way down the river. This is a one day rafting trip with an addition of psychophysical tasks the rafting team faces and fun on the most beautiful section of the river. You will return to the mother nature in the best possible way - you will become a part of it. We will make sure you have fun and a day to remember in the most beautiful canyon in this part of Europe.

Neretva je rijeka ljepotica Hercegovine. Duga 225 km, izvire ispod planine Jabuke u planinskim predjelima

visoke Hercegovine i većim dijelom svoga toka ima odlike planinske rijeke. Neretva je brza, pjenušava, zelena i bistra rijeka, koja u kanjonu uzvodno od Konjica pun adrenalina rafterima pruža neponovljiv doživljaj.

Na svom putu ka Jadranu, Neretva protiče kroz neke od najljepših bosanskohercegovačkih gradova: Konjic, Jabla-nicu, Mostar, Čapljinu, Počitelj. Poznata je po svojoj sma-ragdno-zelenoj boji, čistoj, i u svom gornjem toku potpuno pitkoj vodi.

Posljednjih deset godina rafting na Neretvi doživio je naglu ekspanziju. Od Glavatičeva do Konjica vozi se najinte-resantnija rafting tura na Neretvi sa nekoliko divljih dijelova sa stepenom težine 2-3. Dužina staze je oko 23 km i plovidba traje oko 5 sati, a prelijepi kanjon i vodopadi vide se prili-kom spuštanja. Radi se o jednodnevnoj ponudi raftinga sa dodatkom različitih psihofizičkih zadataka koji se postavlja-ju pred tim, te zabavom u najljepšem dijelu Neretve. Majci prirodi ćete se vratiti na najljepši mogući način- bit ćete dio prirode. Priredit ćemo Vam zabavu i dan za pamćenje u naj-ljepšem kanjonu ovog dijela Europe.

Summer in MostarLjeto u Mostaru

If you happen to be in Mostar during summertime, when the temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius, be aware that

the temperature in the sun reaches over 50 degrees Celsius, which puts human body under huge stress and can cause se-rious medical problems.

Being outdoorAvoid being outside between 11 AM and 6 PM, and if you do venture out, be sure to wear a hat, sunglasses, and appro-priate clothes made of natural materials. Try to keep in the shade, and carry a bottle of water with you at all times. If you start feeling dizzy, anxious, extremely thirsty or have a headache, seek help, and move to a cooler location.

Rehydration Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water or lemonade. Elderly should drink water regardless of feeling thirsty or not, as water reserves in their bodies are smaller.

FoodEat small, light meals several times a day, such as soups, salads, fresh fruit such as watermelons, peaches, or apricots. Avoid fried and greasy food, alcohol, and sodas, as they have an increased effect on dehydration.

Air-conditioningBe careful with air-conditioning, because the difference in temperature between an air-conditioned room and outside should not be too big. Allow your body to gradually adjust to higher temperature.

Skin protectionUse sunblock cream, apply it at least half an hour before exposing the skin to the sun and do not forget to reapply it. Mostar is the hottest city in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Pay special attention to the protection of child skin and use sunblock with the highest SPF.

RECOMMENDATIONSPreporuke

Ukoliko ste u Mostar došli u ljetnim vrućim danima, kada temperatura u hladu doseže do 40 i više stupnjeva, bit-

no je znati da su temperature na suncu preko 50 stupnjeva, što je izuzetno stresno za organizam i mogu izazvati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme.

Boravak na otvorenomPri visokim temperaturama vrlo važno je izbjegavati bo-ravak na otvorenom u vrijeme velikih vrućina od 11 do 18 sati, a ako se baš morate kretati u navedenom razdoblju, obvezno nabavite pokrivalo za glavu (kapu ili šešir), zaštitne naočale, te odjenite laganu odjeću svjetlijih boja i od prirod-nih materijala. Krećite se po hladu i sa sobom uvijek nosite bocu vode. Potrebno je zatražiti pomoć ako imate vrtoglavi-cu, slabost, nemoć, tjeskobu ili ste izrazito žedni i imate jako glavobolju. Što prije otiđite u hladan prostor.

Hlađenje tekućinomDehidracija od vrućina može se izbjeći uzimanjem dosta vode ili limunade. Starije osobe trebale bi piti vodu bez obzira jesu li žed-ni ili ne jer organizam starijih osoba ima smanjene rezerve vode.

IshranaPoželjno je jesti češće, male i lagane obroke kao što su juhe, salate od povrća, dosta voća, lubenice, breskve, kajsije... Izbjegavajte masnu i prženu hranu, alkohol, gazirana pića, jer potpomažu dehidraciju organizma.

KlimatiziranjeKada je u pitanju korištenje klima-uređaja i tu je potreban oprez, jer razlika u temperaturama ne smije biti velika, tako da je vrlo važno paziti da izlazak iz hladnog prostora na vruće bude postupan.

Zaštitita kožeKoristiti kreme za sunčanje, nanošenjem na kožu pola do sat vremena prije izlaganja suncu je jer Mostar najtopliji i najsun-čaniji grad u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Naročitu pozornost posvetite maloj djeci, te za njih koristite keme s najvišim zaštitnim faktorom.

Autumn/Jesen Autumn in Mostar is known for relentless rains, flooded streets, strong wind called bura and beautiful and colourful scenery. If you are going to spend some time in Mostar in autumn, in addition to an umbrella, be sure to have water-proof clothes and shoes, but also clothes that will protect you from the cold wind.

Jesen u Mostaru je poznata po neumornim kišama, po-plavljenim ulicama, jakoj buri i prelijepim prizorima žarkih boja. Ako u jesenskim danima boravite u Mostaru, pored kišobrana, pripremite i odjeću za kišu, uključujući i obuću ali i odjeću za buru.

Winter/ZimaMostar has a moderate Mediterranean climate, with mild, but cold winters (with little or no snow), however, during the winter in Mostar make sure to have warm clothes that will protect you from the cold wind. Even though tempera-tures are above zero for most part of the winter, the bura wind makes this season particularly cold and wearing warm clothes is a necessity.S obzirom da Mostar ima umjerenu sredozemnu klimu sa blažim, ali hladnim zimama (uz malo ili nimalo snijega), prilikom boravka u Mostaru potrebno je imati toplu odjeću koja će Vas zaštiti od bure. Iako su, veći dio zime, tempera-ture iznad nule, bura ovo godišnje doba čini jako hladnim i potrebno je imati odjeću u kojoj će Vam biti toplo.
