Some fun facts and history
Konjic is a town and municipality located in northern Herzegovina, around 50 kilometres (31 mi) southwest of Sarajevo. It is a mountainous, heavily wooded area, and is 268 m (879 ft) above sea level. The municipality extends on both sides of the Neretva River. The city is one of the oldest permanent settlements in Bosnia, dating back almost 4000 years; the city in its current incarnation arising as an important town in the late 14th century. Konjička Stara Ćuprija (Stara Ćuprija = Old Bridge) was built between 1682 and 1683 by Ali-aga Hasečić (as shown by a stone plaque at the center of the bridge). It was built over six slightly pointed stone arches. It is the best preserved Ottoman bridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The arches were destroyed by the retreating German army in March 1945. The bridge was rebuilt in its original state between 2003 and 2009. The bridge is now proclaimed a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Natural goods & Why to visit Konjic?
Konjic is attractive because of the natural beauties that surround the town. The river Neretva runs through the very center. The old town is very beautiful for taking a walk, as well as the center of the city from where you can clearly see the natural surrounding of this town. Since the start of the last century, Konjic is known for its woodcarving craft. Among all these tourist offerings, the Boračko lake with the Glavatičevo valley is certainly one of the most prominent aspects of it. Most of our in-nature activities start from here: hiking, rafting, camping, village tourism, kayaking, or canoeing, mountain biking or perhaps paragliding!
