- Konjic - Konjic is a town situated in northern Herzegovina, approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) southwest of Sarajevo. It is a mountainous region, rich in forests, and stands at an elevation of 268 meters (879 feet) above sea level.
Konjic Stara Ćuprija (Old Bridge) was constructed between 1682 and 1683 by Ali-aga Hasečić, as indicated by a stone plaque at the bridge’s center. It features six slightly pointed stone arches and is the best-preserved Ottoman bridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The arches were destroyed by the retreating German army in March 1945, but the bridge was reconstructed to its original form between 2003 and 2009. It is now recognized as a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Jablanica - Jablanica is a town and municipality in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located along the Neretva River and Jablanica Lake.
During the Battle of the Neretva in 1943, Jablanica was the site of a successful raid by Partisans led by Josip Broz Tito. A rail bridge over the river was destroyed while a train was crossing. A park and monument now commemorate this event at the site. The bridge section and locomotive visible in the river gorge are remnants of a film set depicting the battle from the 1960s.
- Blagaj - Blagaj Tekija is a Dervish monastery near Mostar, Bosnia, that is nearly 600 years old. Nestled at the base of a cliff, next to the source of the Buna River, it is a unique and picturesque series of buildings that appear even more stunning in person than in photographs.
The Tekija (or Tekke) was originally established during the peak of the Ottoman Empire. Over time, rock slides necessitated extensive repairs and reconstruction of the buildings. Today, largely due to a Turkish travel agency, the Tekke closely resembles its original appearance.
- River Buna Spring - Vrelo Bune is a natural and architectural ensemble located at the spring of the Buna River near Blagaj, a village-town, and is part of the broader “Townscape ensemble of the town of Blagaj — Historical and Natural Heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
- Neretva River - According to legend, when the ancient Illyrians saw the emerald green river, they exclaimed Nera – Etwa!, meaning “Divinity that flows.” With its 230 km long journey from the source to the Adriatic Sea, the Neretva has carved a narrow canyon where the sky appears as a tiny blue ring.
- Pocitelj - Step into history in this captivating medieval town. Wander its cobbled streets, explore centuries-old stone fortifications, and admire the well-preserved Ottoman architecture, all set amidst breathtaking natural surroundings.
- Mostar - 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 renowned for its old Turkish houses and the Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. However, during the 1990s conflict, much of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the famous architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge has been recently rebuilt, and many structures in the Old Town have been restored or reconstructed with the help of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO.
