We take the day easy, like a small group of friends exploring one of the most beautiful valleys in Herzegovina together.
We start at a traditional house at the entrance of Blagaj, where we go inside and explore how life used to look in the past. It is a simple, authentic introduction that sets the tone for the day.
Then our first main stop is Stjepangrad Fortress. The moment you reach the top, it is that “okay… this is actually something else” feeling. We stay there and enjoy a picnic inside the old fortress walls. And yes, it somehow tastes better up here, probably because of the view or maybe just because you earned it.
After the fortress, we visit the Dervish House at the Buna spring. ...
