Hercegovina
“Njezini pejzaži neodoljivo podsjećaju na francusku Provansu
ili hrvatsku Istru. Po načinu života vrlo je slična susjednoj
Dalmaciji. Mnogo toga podsjetit će vas i na ostale mediteranske krajeve- od Španjolske do Grčke. Ali ona je opet drugačija,
jedinstvena i neponovljiva jer ju je Bog obdario tolikom raznolikošću kakvu je teško susresti na tako malom prostoru.
Mnogi je doživljavaju kao zemlju kamena i sunca, rijeka, vinograda, smokava i duhana, pršuta i meda... Na nju podsjeća
miris ljekovitog bilja i pjesma zrikavaca, okus janjenćeg mesa
i planinskog sira. Nju zapljuskuje Jadransko more i biju vjetrovi s bosanskih planina. U njoj se kao nigdje drugdje, dodiruju
nebo i zemlja stvarajući jarku svjetlost neobičnih boja, koja
taj kraj čine gotovo mističnim. Zahvaljujući njezinim prirodnim ljepotama, ugodnoj klimi, obilju sunca i vode, ubraja se u
jednu od najpoželjnijih regija jugoistočne Europe. Vjerojatno
je zato mnogi nazivaju i njezinom Kalifornijom. “
“Its landscape is remarkably like the French Provence and the
Croatian Istria. By its way of life it is very similar to the neighbouring Dalmatia. Many things will remind you of other Mediterranean landscapes – from Spain to Greece. But still it is different,
unique and inimitable since God has endowed it with such diversity, which is rarely encountered in such a small place. Many
consider it to be the land of stone and sun, rivers and vineyards,
figs and tobacco, prosciutto and honey... Reminiscent of it are
the smell of herbs and the songs of crickets, the taste of lamb
meat and mountain cheese. It is bathed by the Adriatic Sea and
beat by the winds from the Bosnian mountains. Like nowhere
else, it is where the sky and the earth meet, creating a bright
light of unusual colours, transforming it into an almost mythical
place. Due to its natural beauties, the pleasant climate, plenty
of sunshine and water, it is one of the most desirable regions of
South-East Europe. This is why many call it its California.”

Srce
Hercegovine
Pođete li uz rijeku Trebižat,
naći ćete se u ‘srcu Hercegovine’, jedinstvenom tropletu
Ljubuški-Čapljina-Grude, koji
plijeni svojom raznolikošću
i bogatom prirodnom i kulturno-povijesnom baštinom.
Istražiti ga znači razotkriti
stoljećima čuvane tajne
povijesnih utvrda, ostataka
rimske i osmanlijske vladavine... Ljubitelji prirode ovdje
mogu doživjeti romantičnu
plovidbu najvećom močvarom u ovom dijelu Europe
koja u svom čarobnom prirodnom rezervatu čuva 240
različitih vrsta ptica, mogu
upoznati ‘hercegovačke
Plitvice’, a one avanturističkog duha čeka i nezaboravni
kanu safari. Ljepota i raskoš
hercegovačkog kraja će se
u potpunosti doživjeti tek
kad se kušaju njezini plodovi:
od voća i povrća,sira i mesa
uzgojenog na ljekobiljem
bogatim ispašama, vinove
loze i glasovitih vina žilavke
i blatine, kojim nisu mogli
odoljeti ni velikaški dvori,
do nadaleko poznatog
hercegovačkog duhana, ali
i kadulje, vrijeska, smilja i
majčine dušice..... Jednako
tako istražiti ‘srce Hercegovine’ znači saznati iz prve
ruke kako brojne civilizacije
koje su prošle ovim krajem
nisu mogle ugroziti stoljetnu
originalnost hercegovačkog
čovjeka, njegovu tradiciju i
običaje,niti umanjiti njegovu
otvorenost, gostoljubivost i
vječnu spremnost na pružanje ruke prijateljstva.
Hercegovci su nesebični domaćini iskrenog osmijeha i
otvorenog srca koji svim dobronamjernim ljudima, prijateljima Hercegovine, žele
pokazati da je ona mjesto u
kojemu se sva čula bude i
oplemenjuju. Neka vaš novi
dan počne buđenjem u srcu
Hercegovine, na Trebižatu, a
onda je sve moguće.....
The heart of
Herzegovina
Travelling along the river
Trebižat, you will find yourself
in „the heart of Herzegovina“, a
unique three-strand of LjubuškiČapljina-Grude, capturing
attention with its diversity and
rich natural, cultural and historical heritage. To explore it is to
discover secrets of historical
forts, remains of the Roman
and Ottoman regime hidden
for centuries... Nature lovers can
experience a romantic voyage
through the largest swamp in
this part of Europe, keeping in
its magical natural reserve 240
different bird species; they can
experience the „Herzegovina
Plitvice Lakes“, and for the
adventurous spirits there is an
unforgettable canoe safari. The
beauty and grandeur of the
Herzegovina region will only be
fully experienced after tasting
its products: from fruits and
vegetables, cheese and meat
grown on pastures rich with
herbs, grapevine and the wildly
famous Žilavka and Blatina
wines, which even the aristocratic castles could not resist
to taste, and the wildly famous
Herzegovina tobacco, but also
sage, heather, immortelle and
thyme... To explore “the heart
of Herzegovina” also means to
learn firsthand how the numerous civilisations which have
passed through this area were
not able neither to endanger
the centennial originality of the
Herzegovina man, his tradition
and customs nor diminish its
openness, hospitality and eternal willingness to lend the hand
of friendship.
Herzegovinians are selfless
hosts with an honest smile and
open heart, who want to show
all good people, friends of Herzegovina, that this is the place
where all the senses are awakened and elevated. May our
new day begin with an awakening in the heart of Herzegovina,
on the river Trebižat, than all is
possible...

14 15
DAN 2
Već od 7:30 sati Vas čeka domaćin s tradiconalnim hercegovačkim doručkom, uz svježe mlijeko, prirodno cijeđeni sok ili
uz miris domaće kave. Uživanje u jutarnjem obroku traje sve

Prvo odredište je najstariji muzej u BiH – arheološka zbirka

DAY 2
The host awaits you from 7:30 a.m. with a traditional Herzegovinian breakfast with fresh milk, naturally squeezed juice
or the aroma of homemade coffee. You can enjoy your breakfast until 9 o’clock when we begin our unforgettable discovery of the Herzegovinian area.
Our first destination is the oldest museum in B&H – the archeological collection of the Franciscan convent in Humac
and the art gallery Mother. After this we will take you to see a
unique natural pearl – the waterfall Kravice.
Oko 13:30 sati odlazimo na ručak. Vaš je zadatak da se prepustite da Vas ljubazni domaćini hercegovačkih restorana vode
kroz svijet lokalnih gastro i eno užitaka. Doživite duboke,
bogate okuse hercegovačkih vina iz stoljetnih vinograda i
okuse kvalitetnog hercegovačkoga maslinovog ulja. Čeka Vas
ukusna domaća seljačka kuhinja od svježe ribe, specijaliteta

16 17
U 19 sati spremite se za novu ljubav - s hercegovačkim vinima
Žilavkom i Blatinom. Ono što ćete morati osjetiti dok budete
‘hodočastili’ hercegovačke vinograde, to je da je u Hercegovini vino svetost, potreba i ljubav, kultura življenja, a da je
ovdašnji čovjek vinovoj lozi kultno privržen. Tritusućljetna
je tradicija vinogradstva na hercegovačkim prostorima.
Ljetopisi navode da su Rimljani i Dubrovčani, Slaveni, Turci
i Habsburzi bili pohlepni za ovom zemljom upravo zbog
njenog lozja: ti se vinogradi spominju u spisima rimskog imperatora Konstantina VII. Porfirogeneta, poveljama humskog
kneza Miroslava i bosanskog kralja Tvrtka. Naš veliki nobelovac Ivo Andrić o hercegovčkim vinima je napisao: “Dragocjeno vino tvrdog, suvog, a blagoslovljenog kraja, kao da čovjek
pije smijeh i pjesmu i poslije treće čaše samo smijehom i
pjesmom pozdravlja svijet oko sebe.” I neka i Vama, dragi
prijatelji Hercegovine, bude tako. A domaćini će se potruditi
da uz dobru kapljicu posluže i vrhunski hercegovački pršut iz
obližnjih pršutana. Neka ovaj dan i večer budu za pamćenje.
Jer sutra Vas čekaju novi doživljaji.
At 19 o’clock get ready for a new kind of love – with the Herzegovina wines Žilavka and Blatina. As you visit Herzegovinian
vineyards you will certainly feel that wine in Herzegovina
is a sanctity, need and love. It is a lifestyle. The local man is
dedicated to the grape vine and he worships it. Viticulture in
the area of Herzegovina is a millennial tradition. Chronicles
indicate that Romans, the people of Dubrovnik, Slavs, Turks
and Habsburgs felt greed for this country because of its
grape vines: these vineyards are mentioned in the records of
the Roman imperator Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus in the
charters of lord Miroslav of Hum and the Bosnian king Tvrtko.
Our great Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić wrote about Herzegovinian wines: “Precious wine of a rocky, dry but blessed area, as
if a man were drinking laughter and song; and after the third
glass the man can only with laughter and song salute the
world surrounding him.” Dear friends of Herzegovina, let it be
the same for you as well. The hosts will make every effort to
serve excellent Herzegovinian prosciutto with a drop of good
wine. May this day and night be one to remember because
new experiences are awaiting you tomorrow.
DAN 3
DAY 3
Ako smo s nobelovcem završili prvi dan, uvjerivši se da mu
je svaka riječ bila na mjestu, upoznajmo se s još jednim njegovim doživljajem Hercegovine, a taj je da Vas u Hercegovini
budi svjetlost. Iz noći u tu svjetlost zaronite s puno pouzdanja
i prepustite se još jednom jedinstvenom doživljaju.
Finishing our second day with a Nobel laureate and now that
we are convinced that his every word is correct, let us introduce another Herzegovinian experience and that is being
woken up by light in Herzegovina. Immerse yourself into this
light from the dark with confidence, and surrender to another
unique experience.
Nakon jutarnjeg obroka, u kojem ćete se zasigurno vratiti u
najljepša sjećanja kada ga je za vas brižno pripremala majka
ili vaša baka, s puno zdravih i domaćih okusa, u 9 sati budite
spremni započeti novu avanturu upoznavanja i istraživanja
hercegovačke povijesti, kulture i tradicije. Vodimo Vas najprije u srednji vijek kada je izgrađen Počitelj.
After breakfast, which will certainly take you back to your
fondest memories of the times when your mother or your
grandmother prepared breakfast for you with care and love
and many healthy and homemade flavors, be ready to start
a new adventure and explore Herzegovinian history, culture
and tradition at 9:00 a.m. First we will take you to the middle
Ages, this being the age when Počitelj was built.
18 19
Nakon obilaska Počitelja, s kojim ćete se teško rastati, oko 11
sati odlazimo put glavnog središta Hercegovine, u obilazak
njegovog glavnog grada Mostara, gdje su različite civilizacije
koje su prolazile Hercegovinom ostavile svoj duboki trag.
After a tour of Počitelj, which will be difficult to part from, at
11:00 p.m. we leave for the main center of Herzegovina, its
capital Mostar. We will tour this town, where different civilizations going through Herzegovina left their deep trail.
U 14 sati vodimo Vas do restorana u kojem ćete isprobati najbolju janjetinu ili ostale specijalitete Hercegovine. Da postoji
tajna u hercegovačkim pašnjacima, s puno sunca, ali i bure,
na kojima obiluje ljekovito bilje, otkrit ćete u doživalju okusa
janjetine s ražnja i ostalih tradicionalnih delicija. Ugodna
atmosfera, uz ukusnu i sočnu hranu, vapit će za čašom Vama
sada već znanog hercegovačkog vina.
At 14:00 p.m. we will take you to a restaurant where you will
try the best lamb and other specialties of Herzegovina. With
the taste of spit lamb and other traditional delicacies you will
discover that there is a secret in Herzegovinian pastures with
lots of sun, gale and herbs. The cozy atmosphere with tasty
and delicious food will call for a glass or two of the familiar
Herzegovinian wine
No, nemojte pretjerati, jer Vas u 16 sati već čeka jedno od
najvećih religijskih središta – svetište Kraljice Mira Međugorje. Osjetite i doživite zašto se u to malo hercegovačko mjesto
slijeva toliko mnogo ljudi iz svih krajeva svijeta. Po završetku
ćemo krenuti u obilazak etnosela „Herceg“.
U 20 sati pripremite se na prevaru svoje prve vinske ljubavi iz
prethodne hercegovačke noći. Nitko vam ovdje neće zamjeriti na ovaj okusni preljub, jer hercegovačkim vinima i oni najodaniji ne mogu odoljeti. Uz opojna vina i voćne rakije degustirat ćete i izvorna hercegovačka jela, kao i pršute i sireve o
kojima se dobar glas već odavno proširio i izvan granica BiH.
Ugođaju mogu pridonijeti i hercegovački bećari, a na Vama
je samo da zaplovite bez oklijevanja u to ugodno, prijateljsko
okružje s kojim se svakodnevni posao, brzina i stres današnjice davno razišao.
However, do not overdo it because at 16:00 p.m. we are taking you to one of the biggest religious centers – the Shrine
of the Queen of Peace Međugorje. Experience this small
Herzegovinian town where a multitude of people come from
all parts of the world. After Međugorje we will visit the ethno
village “Herceg”.
At 20:00 p.m. prepare to cheat on your first wine love from
the previous Herzegovinian night. Nobody will bear a grudge
against this tasty adultery because even the most faithful
cannot resist Herzegovinian wines. With exquisite wines and
fruit brandy you will taste authentic Herzegovinian dishes as
well as prosciutto and cheese that are well-known outside
the BIH borders. Herzegovinian traditional music ‘bećar’ can
contribute to the atmosphere, and your task is to simply sail
into this cozy and friendly environment with no hesitation.
You will soon see that everyday work, speed and stress have
disappeared.
20 21
DAN 4
U ovom doručku ćete istinski uživati, ali sa sjetom, jer već sutra će čarolija hercegovačkih predjela, gostprimstvo i prijateljstvo hercegovačkog
čovjeka ostati samo dio sjećanja. Domaćin će se stoga potruditi da Vaš
zov za povratkom u ovaj kraj bude toliko jak da mu nikad, ali baš nikad
nećete moći odoljeti. Do 10 sati polazimo prema najvećem rezervatu
ptica i najpoznatijoj močvari u Europi, Hutovu blatu.
Obilazak ove jedinstvene submediteranske močvare završit će objedom
u tom prekrasnom ambijentu u kojem je smješten restoran ‘Karaotok’ ili
u obližnjem restoranu ‘Vego’. Na trpezi će Vas čekati specijaliteti kuće,
od kojih je na daleko poznata jegulja sa žara i različiti riblji specijaliteti.
Nakon objeda Vaša ‘Hercegovačka priča’, završava. Sigurni da ste uživali
u istraživanju Hercegovine, upoznali nove ljude s kojima je užitak prijateljevati, ali i da ste saznali da je iza Vas ostalo još puno neistraženog sadržaja i još puno dobrih i ugodnih domaćina, mi znamo da se vidimo opet.
DAY 4
You will truly enjoy this breakfast, but with sadness because tomorrow
the magic of Herzegovinian appetizers, hospitality and friendship of the
Herzegovinian people will become only a part of your memory. Therefore, the host will make every effort to make your inner call to return to
this country so strong that you will not be able to resist it. By 10 o’clock
we will head for the largest bird reservation and the best known marsh in
Europe, Hutovo blato.
The tour of this unique sub Mediterranean marsh is completed by a meal
in this beautiful ambiance in the restaurant ‘Karaotok’ or the nearby
restaurant ‘Vego’. Specialties of the house will be waiting for you on the
table. One of the most famous specialties is grilled eel, followed by different fish specialties.
After lunch your ‘Herzegovinian story’ ends. Certain that you have
enjoyed exploring Herzegovina, meeting new people with whom you
have formed friendships and realizing that you have much more to
explore and many more good and amiable hosts to meet, we are certain
that we will see you again.

prirode i prirodna rijetkost. Visina slapa kreće se od 26 - 28
metara, s vodenim amfiteatrom ispod slapa promjera 120 metara. Preko sedronosna sloja od dna do vrha slapa izrasla je
trava, mahovina i lišajevi. Uz slap su nikle konopljika, smokve
i topole. Nekada su uz slap bili aktivni mnogobrojni mlinovi i
stupe za valjanje sukna.
The most attractive locality on the river Trebižat is certainly
the waterfall Kravice in Studenci, near Ljubuški. It was created by the flow of the cedar filled river Trebižat. As a natural
phenomenon, it is under the country’s protection as a geological and a geomorphologic monument of nature and a natural rarity. The height of the waterfall ranges from 26 – 28 meters, with an aquatic amphitheater below the waterfall with a
diameter of 120 meters. Over the cedar filled layer, from top
to bottom of the waterfall, many plants such as grass, moss
and lichens grow. The waterfall has sprouted hemp, figs and
poplars. Many mills for wheat and for rolling cloth were once
active by the waterfall. You have time enough to photograph
and simply enjoy.
Zamisao o osnutku muzeja pri samostanu sv. Ante na Humcu
pojavila se polovicom XIX. stoljeća u krugu hercegovačkih
franjevaca. Sadašnja muzejska izložba se dijeli u tri dijela:
prapovijest koja obuhvaća staro kameno doba, mlađe
kameno doba, brončano i željezno doba, zatim drugi dio
koji obuhvaća antiku i stari Rim, te srednji vijek. Osobito je
bogata rimska zbirka o čemu nam svjedoče brojni spomenici
pronađeni u ovom kraju, kao i sam muzejski prostor koji je
spomenik rimske arhitekture. U muzejskoj zbirci posebno
treba istaknuti Humačku ploču, najstariji očuvani spomenik
pisan na hrvatskom jeziku (mješavinom glagoljice i
starohrvatske ćirilice - bosančice) na području današnje
Bosne i Hercegovine. Uz arheološku zbirku u samostanu
nalaze se još numizmatička zbirka, lapidarij, sakralna i
povijesno-etnološka zbirka i galerija. Najstariji nalaz u zbirci
je paleolitička ogrlica, te nalazi iz bakrenoga i brončanoga
doba (3000 – 800 godine pr. Kr.)
The idea to set up a museum in the convent of St. Anthony in
Humac appeared in the middle of the XIX century within the
Herzegovinian Franciscans. The current exhibition is divided
into three parts: prehistory which includes the Stone Age (Paleolithic and Neolithic), the Bronze and Iron Age, followed by the
second part which includes the Ancient times, Roman times and
the Middle Age. The Roman collection is especially rich which is
evident from the numerous monuments found in this area, as
well as the actual area of the museum which is monument of
Roman architecture. It should be emphasized that this collection
contains the Humac Tablet, the oldest monument written in the
Croatian language (a mixture of the Glagolitic alphabet and old
Croatian Cyrillic alphabet – Bosančica) in the entire Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Along with the archeological collection in the convent, there is a numismatic collection, a lapidary, a sacral and
historical-ethnological collection and gallery. The oldest finding
in the collection is a Paleolithic necklace, as well as the findings
from the Copper Age and Bronze Age (3000 – 800 years B.C.).

Peć Mlini
Šire područje vodene oaze Peć Mlina, prema povijesnim
saznanjima bilo je naseljeno od najstarijih vremena-prapovijesti, rimskog perioda, kasne antike i srednjeg vijeka sve do
našeg vremena. U blizini Peć Mlina se nalazi i Ravlića pećina
koja predstavlja jedno od najznačajnijih prapovijesnih pećinskih naselja. Posljednji koji su se njome služili bili su hajduci
ovog kraja iz XVIII. i XIX. stoljeća.
The wider area of Peć Mlini, according to historical findings,
was populated in the times of ancient history – Prehistoric
period, Roman period, late Classical period and in the Middle
Ages, up until our time. In the vicinity of Peć Mlini there is
the cavern Ravlića Pećina, which represents one of the most
significant prehistoric cave settlements. The last people who
used the cavern were haiduks from this area in the XVIII and
XIX century.

Villa Rustica - Mogorjelo
Jedan od najznačajnijih spomenika rimskog doba u BiH je
svakako Mogorjelo. Riječ je o ostatcima utvrđene vile suburbane s početka 4. stoljeća iako je već i u 1. stoljeću nove ere
ovdje postojalo poljoprivredno imanje sa zgradama za stanovanje, skladištima, stajama, mlinovima, pekarnom, uljarom i kovačnicom. Ovdje ćete zapravo saznati da tradicija
maslinarstva seže još u davna vremena kada su stari Rimljani
prepoznali Hercegovinu kao plodno tlo za uzgoj najčuvenijeg mediteranskog eliksira. Svjedoče o tome arheološka
nalazišta, posebice ostatci ‘dolija’ u kojima su Rimljani čuvali
maslinovo ulje. Od tada do danas uz vinogradarstvo održava
se i tradicija maslinarstva. Provala Zapadnih Gota, dovela je
do razaranja Ville koju preživjeli stanovnici više nisu mogli
obnoviti u punom sjaju. No, njezini ostatci, unatoč tomu, do
dan danas, svoje posjetitelje ostavljaju bez daha.

Stari grad Počitelj / Old city Počitelj
Danas je Počitelj jedan od najpoznatijih i najljepših nacionalnih spomenika Bosne i Hercegovine, za koji se pretpostavlja
da ga je dao izgraditi bosanski kralj Tvrtko 1383. godine.
Njegov mediteranski izgled je nakon turskog osvajanja orijentalno preoblikovan. Počiteljem tako dominiraju orijentalni
građevinski stilovi, koji skupa s ostatcima mediteranskog stila
daju ovom naselju jednu posebnu dimenziju. Budete li došli
u mjesecu srpnju, kada se održava Likovna kolonija, dočekat
će Vas posebna živost na kamenim kaldrmama ovog povijesnog gradića, koje će krasiti umjetnine najvećih slikara Bosne
i Hercegovine i regije.
Today Počitelj is one of the most famous and most beautiful
national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is assumed
that the Bosnian king Tvrtko had it built in 1383. Its Mediterranean look was transformed into oriental style after Turkish
conquest. Oriental architectural styles dominate in Počitelj.
Along with the remains of the Mediterranean style, these oriental details give this town a special dimension. If you come in
July when the Art Colony is organized, you will be greeted with
a special liveliness on the stone cobbles of this historical town,
which will be adorn with artworks of the greatest painters
from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.
One of the most significant monuments of the Roman era in
BIH is surely Mogorjelo. These are the remains of a fortress
villa suburbana from the early 4th century. But already in the
1st century of the new era an agricultural estate existed here,
with buildings for housing, warehouses, barns, mills, a bakery,
an oil mill and a smithy. Here you will learn that the tradition
of olive growing actually comes from ancient times when
Romans recognized Herzegovina as a fertile soil for cultivating the eminent Mediterranean elixir. Archeological findings
testify to this, especially the remains of ‘doliums’ where
Romans conserved the olive oil. Up until now, along with
viticulture, the tradition of olive growing has been preserved.
Also, the Villa is one of the most significant monuments of
Roman times in B&H. Along with the oil mill; the Villa also
had a bakery, smithy and a mill. The eruption of Visigoths led
to the destruction of the Villa. The surviving dwellers could
never restore it to its full glory. Despite of that, it still leaves
all visitors breathless.

Crkva sv. Stjepana Prvomučenika u Gorici je podignuta na
temeljima starohrvatske crkve sagrađene u IX. stoljeću i jedna je od najstarijih crkava u Hrvata uopće. Podignuta još u IX.
stoljeću kada i velik broj starohrvatskih crkava, korištena je,
uz manje popravke, sve do prve polovice XVII. stoljeća. Tada
je konačno srušena i nikada više nije obnavljana. Tek je potkraj pedesetih godina XIX. stoljeća ondašnji župnik fra Petar
Bakula na njenim temeljima sagradio potpuno novu crkvu
koja je do gradnje najnovije bila župna, a od tada grobljanska
crkva. Odmah uz crkvu smještena je Hrvatska franjevačka
arheološka zbirka sv. Stjepana Prvomučenika.

The churhc of St. Stephen the Martyr in Gorica was built on
the foundations of an old Croatian church from the 9th century and it is one of the oldest churches in Croatia in general.
It was erected in the 9the century just as a large number of
other old Croatian churches and was used, with minor repairs, all up until the first half of the 17th century. This is when
it was demolished and never again restored. It was not until
the late fifties of the 19th century that the then parish priest
fra Petar Bakula built a completely new church on its foundations. This was the parish church until the construction of the
newest church, and the cemetary church from that point on.
Right next to the church is the Croatian Franciscan archeological collection of St. Stephen the Martyr.

Arheološko područje Gabela kod Čapljine
Archeological area Gabela near Čapljina
Nakon propasti antičke Narone razvio se u dolini Neretve u
srednjem vijeku jači trgovački centar – Gabela. Nacionalni
spomenik - arheološko područje Gabela se prvi put spominje
1186. godine pod nazivom Drijeva, skela, lađa (od drvo-lađa,
skela). Pod nazivom Gabela prvi put se spominje 1399. godine. Godine 1715. je razorena od strane Mlečana i više se nije
obnavljala.U novijoj povijesti ovaj prostor je bio predmet
rasprava i tvrdnji o postojanju “Troje” na lokalitetu Gabele i
okolice, na osnovu istraživanja meksičkog povjesničara Roberta Salinasa Pricea.
After the downfall of antique Narona, a stronger trade centre
developed in the Neretva river valley in the middle ages – Gabela. The national monument – the archaeological area Gabela was first mentioned in 1186 by the name Drijeva, ferry, ship
(from wood – ship, ferry). The name Gabela is first mentioned
in 1399. In 1715 it was destroyed by the Venetians and never
renewed again. In recent history this area was part of the talk
about the existence of “Troy” on the Gabela locality and the
surroundings, based on research by the Mexican historian
Robert Salinas Price.

Priča o duhanu (Posjet proizvođaču duhana) - Hercegovački
duhan je jedan od najkvalitetnijih u Europi, a neki tvrde i u
svijetu. Iako je sustav bio nemilosrdan prema uzgajivačima,
pa su mnogi i život izgubili zbog njega, tradicija uzgoja tog
hercegovačkog žutog zlata sačuvana je sve do današnjih
dana. Kada vam jednom u nosnice uđe miris sušenog hercegovačkog duhana, teško ga je ikada zaboraviti, ako se tomu
pridoda bajkovita slika nanizanih sušenih listova, te tradicionalno ‘križanje’ duhana, samostalno ‘motanje’ škije... vratit
ćete se opet.
The story of tobacco (Visit a tobacco producer) – Herzegovinian tobacco is one of the best in Europe, and some claim
that it is the best in the world. Although the system was
ruthless to cultivators to the extent that many of them lost
their lives because of tobacco, the tradition of cultivating this
yellow gold is still preserved. Once the aroma of dried Herzegovinian tobacco enters your nostrils, it is difficult to ever
forget it, especially if you see the picturesque image of threaded dry leaves and the traditional ‘grating’ of tobacco and
‘rolling’ of the cigarettes… you will come back again.
Posjet staroj mlinici i priča o kruhu- grgoljenje vode, huk
mlinskoga kola, meljava žita i miris brašna nekima će biti
jedinstven i nikad prije doživljen ugođaj, a drugima vraćanje
u djetinjstvo. Prije kojih stotinjak godina pred hercegovačkim
mlinicama sve je bujalo od života, danas su one vrijedan dio
gospodarske i etnološke baštine, ali i svjedoci pučkoga života
i tradicijskoga graditeljstva u slikovitim mediteranskim krajolicima.
Priča o medu (Posjet proizvođaču meda i degustacija) - Kadulja, vrisak, ali i drugo hercegovačke ljekobilje osnova je najpoznatijim i najpriznatijim hercegovačkim medovima. Doći u
Visit to an old mill and the story of bread - the gurgle of water, the roar of the mill-wheel, the grinding of wheat and the
smell of flour will be a unique new experience for some. For
others it will be a return to their childhood. A few hundred
years ago everything thrived with life around the Herzegovinian mills. Today they are a valuable part of the economic
and ethnological heritage as well as witnesses of country life
and traditional architecture in picturesque Mediterranean
landscapes.

osjetiti čar druženja uz spravljanje ‘dobrog zalogaja’ ili koristeći kuhinju ojačati timski duh, sasvim je svejedno. Omogućit ćemo vam da, prije gozbe, ravnopravno sudjelujete u pripremi jela, kao i prigodnom dekoriranju stola. Neizoistavna je
i kapljica Žilavke i Blatine, koje vam, prema vašoj želji, mogu
predstaviti hercegovački vinari ili sommelieri.
of the most famous and most recognized Herzegovinian
types of honey. To come to Herzegovina and not to taste
Herzegovinian honey produced from herbs that are rich with
honeybee pastures would be a great mistake.
Traditional food cooking class – Wild asparagus salad, collard
made in the traditional Herzegovinian way, Herzegovinian
pan with vineyard snails, asparagus and onions, flat cake
with three types of flour, dishes made in the traditional open
furnace….. It does not matter whether you want to experience the charm of company with your friends while making a
‘good bite to eat’ or to build team spirit in the kitchen. We will
make it possible for you to equally participate in food preparations and appropriate table decorating before the feast.
A drop of Žilavka and Blatina is a necessity. These wines will

hercegovačko djevičansko maslinovo ulje vrhunske kvalitete.
Priča o ljekobilju (posjet proizvođaču ljekobilja): Ono čime se
Hercegovina voli pohvaliti to je obilje ljekovitog bilja: kadulje, vrijeska, majčine dušice, smilja,.... kao i dugogodišnjom
tradicijom prikupljanja i uzgoja ljekovitog bilja i pravljenja
prirodnih ljekovitih pripravaka. Upoznajte se s bogatim
nasljedstvom, tajnama hercegovačke fitoterapije i saznajte
blagotvorno i ljekovito djelovanje hercegovačkih pripravaka.
Priča o vinu (posjet vinsokom podrumu / vinariji) - Hercegovina je bogomdani prostor za uzgoj vinove loze zahvaljujući
plodnoj zemlji, pogodnoj klimi i žilavom čovjeku koji je, unatoč svim povijesnim previranjima i okupatorima, opstao na
ovim prostorima. Vino iz Hercegovine osvajalo je najznačajnije nagrade na najvećim izložbama, pilo se na carskom dvoru
u Beču, našlo se i na trpezi japanskog cara, a slavni Pablo
Picasso, koji je naslikao plakat za film “Bitka na Neretvi”, od
Veljka Bulajića nije želio novac – izrazio je želju tek za vinima,
pa se na njegovom stolu našla i hercegovačka ‘Blatina’! Hercegovački vinogradi, uz raskoš okusa hercegovačke Žilavke
i Blatine, u toplini kutaka vinskih podruma, otkrit će vam i
nepoznate priče. Uz probrana vina, možete kušati i najbolje
hercegovačke pršute i sireve.
The story of wine (Visit to a wine-cellar / vineyard) – Herzegovina is a God-given area for cultivating grape vines because
of its fertile soil, favorable climate and tough people who
have survived in this area despite all of the historical turmoil
and conquests. Wine from Herzegovina has won some of
the most prestigious rewards on the biggest exhibits, it was
drunk in the imperial palace in Vienna and it was even on the
table of the Japanese emperor. The famous Pablo Picasso,
who painted the poster for the film “The Battle of Neretva”,
did not want money from Veljko Bulajić – he expressed a desire only for wine. That is how the Herzegovinian wine ‘Blatina’
came to his table! With the luxurious taste of Herzegovinian
wines Žilavka and Blatina and within the warm nooks in the
wine cellars, Herzegovinian vineyards will reveal some untold
stories. You can taste some of the best Herzegovinian prosciutto and cheese with the selected wines.
The story of olives (Visit to a producer of olive oil) – Visit olive
yards and an olive oil mill and taste various types of cheese
or traditional dishes from family farms. The experience is
unforgettable. Visit some of the olive yards in Ljubuški, Čapljina and Neum and see how the Herzegovinian top quality
virgin olive oil is produced on rock and karst as well as the
top quality wine.
The story of herbs (Visit to a producer of herbs) - Herzegovina always likes to boast about the abundance of herbs that
grow here: sage, heather, thyme, immortelle…. as well as with
the long-standing tradition of gathering and cultivating herbs
and making natural herbal remedies. Familiarize yourself
with the rich heritage and secrets of Herzegovinian phytotherapy and discover the beneficial and therapeutic effects of

su dobra volja, malo hrabrosti i vještine. Ne sumnjamo - pustolovina koja se dugo pamti i o kojoj se priča.
Paintball je zabava koju igraju ljudi različitih profesija i stilova
života. Kao u partiji šaha, mogućnost brzog razlučivanja i
odlučnosti čine vas pobjednikom. U igračima se razvija sportski duh, timski rad, postiže se samopouzdanje i razvija duh

prirode Hutovo blato.
Rafting: If you perhaps want to enjoy pure adrenalin, we

the adrenalin rises, you can only surrender to the thrill.
Cycling: Surely one of the most beautiful ways to explore the

Planinarenje i rock climbing Ubrzani tempo života modernog
doba sve više stvara prostora za ljude koji žele na jednostavan i brz način prikupiti dovoljno energije koja im je neophodna za otpor svakodnevnim životnim izazovima. Stoga su
planine sve češće mjesta okupljanja ljudi koji uživaju u šetnji,
vožnji biciklom u prirodi, izletima. Da biste prirodu doživjeli
na način kako to svakodnevno čine pravi znalci, nudimo vam
druženje uz Planinarsko društvo Pločno iz Posušja.

Kupres. Depending on your level of experience and knowledge, this noble animal will take you around the choral with a
light gallop or take you over the nearby hills and valleys. The
instructor will be there to help you.
Hiking and rock climbing: A fast contemporary lifestyle is creating a growing need for people to build up enough energy

the country in the same way as real specialists do every day,
we offer you socializing with the Mountaineers Club Pločno
from Posušje.

Dovoljno je doći i prepustiti se neponovljivim okusima, mirisima, bojama i svjetlosti... da vam sama iskonska Hercegovina ispriča svoju priču. Možda vam Hercegovina otkrije i pokoju tajnu koju stoljećima čuva i isprepliće kroz mnogobrojne legende, a
otkriva u prijateljskom okružju kad se najmanje nadate. Hercegovinu jednostavno morate posjetiti i doživjeti jer su riječi i slike
siromašne da iskažu svu njezinu ljepotu. A kad dođete, onda će, vjerujte, ljubav i prijateljstvo planuti na prvi pogled i trajati...
Just come and give in to unforgettable flavors, fragrances, colors and light…let the pristine Herzegovina tell you its story. Maybe
Herzegovina will reveal a few secrets it has kept well for centuries. These secrets are intertwined with numerous legends and they
can only be discovered in a cozy and friendly atmosphere, when you least expect it. You simply must visit and experience Herzegovina because pictures and words cannot convey its beauty. And when you come, friendship and love will burst at first sight and
they will last a lifetime…
