MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING ABOVE KLEK
For those who enjoy climbing, we suggest a
walk up the hill above Klek where you can sense, beside the smell
of sage and other herbs, a sweet smell of the past within the
Smrden-grad walls. The Church of the Virgin Mary will give peace
to your soul. Numerous believers gather in this church on August
15 to celebrate the Assumption Day.
FORT-OPUS FORTRESS
The Fort-Opus fortress is the pride of the
town of Opuzen. It was erected by the Venetians in the 15 th
century. The fortress offers a magnificent view of the Neretva
River Valley.
NORIN TOWER
The Norin Tower was erected in the beginning of the
16 th century at the place where the Norin River flows into the
Neretva River. It stands there as a queen. It served as the rampart
to fence off the Venetian ships from entering the Valley.
ORNITHOLOGICAL COLLECTION
A well-known ornithological collection
in Metković encompasses 300 bird preparations. It is the second
biggest ornithological collection in Europe. The people from
the Neretva River Valley will not leave as their legacy only
the mementos presented in this ornithological collection, but
also a unique landscape and the authentic nature.
NARONA
Narona is the proof that the ancient Romans really knew
how and what to choose. From the top of the hill you can enjoy
one of the most beautiful views of the Neretva River Valley.
Vid, a small village not far from Metkovi ć , grew on the ruins
of the ancient Narona. The inhabitants of this small village
are very proud of their history. The rich excavations of remnants
of the ancient Romans got worldwide attention as sensational
discoveries. |

MEĐUGORJE
Until
June 24, 1981 Međugorje was just the same as any other
village of this region. In 1981 when
Our Lady started appearing, the life of the parish changed.
The Virgin Mary chose, not only the six people who had actually
witnessed her appearance, but also the entire parish and
the numerous pilgrims to be her witnesses.
STON
Ston is the town with the longest fortification in Europe.
It is located close to Dubrovnik. The unspoilt nature and
the urban architecture are here in perfect harmony. |

DUBROVNIK |
Dubrovnik
was founded in the 7 th century.
It is encircled by the two-kilometer-long
walls, which were erected between the 11 th and the 17 th centuries.
The people of Dubrovnik were well-known sailors and merchants,
and the famous Dubrovnik sailing boats sailed all the world seas.
The best period of Dubrovnik was the period of the 15 th and 16
th centuries, and is known today as the Golden Era of Dubrovnik.
A tremendous earthquake that hit Dubrovnik in 1667 incurred a heavy
blow to the city, and it took time to heal and recover.
Dubrovnik
was the center of the Dubrovnik Republic, which fell apart with
the arrival of Napoleon in the beginning of the 19 th century.
With its beauty, Dubrovnik has throughout history attracted numerous
wanderers, travel-book writers, adventurers, and many others, as
it still does today. Stradun, the main street of Dubrovnik, unique
in its beauty, is the center of the old town, and the favorite
gathering point of the people of Dubrovnik.
With its 17 monasteries
and churches, as well as one of the oldest synagogues in Europe,
Dubrovnik shows its religious and cultural heritage. Various other
cultural sights, the clean sea, hospitable hosts, and the specialties
of this region will make your stay in Dubrovnik an unforgettable
experience. |
