Konjic
In the embrace of mountains
Konjic is a town and center of similar commune on extreme north mountainous Herzegovina, at the central part of B&H. 14.500 inhabitants were live in Konjic in 1991, and in its similar commune at the same time was about 45.000. Konjic was placed on 1400 km2, and at the same time is the biggest commune in B&H.
Agricultural and forestry land, huge water potential, great reserves of mineral of pirofilit are the main titles of huge richness of this part of BiH. Konjic is attractive far more by its abundance of natural beauty that completely surrounds the town.
The Neretva River running through the centre. The old town is quite nice to stroll through. The center of town is rather pleasant too, with stunning views in every direction. People in Konjic are very easy going and friendly so feel free to ask someone for directions or to engage in some small talk. One of the not-to-be-missed attractions is certainly Kamena cuprija (Stone Bridge) built in 1682. Since the early 1900s, Konjic has come to be known for its woodcarvers. The epicenter of the Konjic tourism offer is most certainly the area around Boracko Lake and the valley of Gla-veticevo.
This partial glacier lake has bungalows, a hotel and camping facilities. Most of the outdoor activities begin from this region: hiking, camping, rafting, kayaking, village tourism, canoeing, mountain biking and even paragliding. The northernmost town of Herzegovina has never been either „true Herzegovina“ or „true Bosnia“, but something unique and genuine. Showered with warm Herzegovinian sun it welcomed settlers from all around the world, gave them nice home, took care of them, fed them and educated them and they in return gave it their love – they would install in all the buildings and streets they created.
