Bunski Kanal Most
10m
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.

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.

Mostar Old Bridge
1h
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.

Crooked Bridge (Kriva Cuprija)
10m
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.
