WORTHY OF WRITER'S PEN
MOSTAR
Ivo Andrić
“Of all the things created and built by humankind as a part of life’s effort, nothing in my mind is better or worthier than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred, and more universal than temples. They belong to all and treat all alike; they are useful, always built for a purpose, at a spot where most human needs entwine; they are more durable than other buildings and serve no secret or evil purpose.”
Mostar is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by steep mountains. It is the sunniest town in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the sunniest towns in the whole of Europe. Thanks to the Neretva River, Mostar has developed as a city. What makes this city recognizable is the Old Bridge, constructed by Mimar Hairudin, the famous architect, in 1565. The Old Bridge dates from the 16th century and represents the first historical monument in Bosnia under the protection of UNESCO.
The origin of the name of Mostar is precisely from this period and due to the Bridge, actually to bridge guardians (mostari). It is not strange that the bridge is the symbol of Mostar, the symbol of religious and ethnic reconciliation. The famous writer Ivo Andric, who won the Nobel prize, was enchanted with bridges, mostly because of Mostar.
To feel the taste of a small, sunny, magical town, to experience diversity and reconciliation of different nations and religions, to absorb the history and culture in one day, along with widely known hospitality of local people and flavor of homemade, national cuisine –Mostar is all of that!
- Departure from the main bus station in Herceg Novi is at 7 am.
- On the way to Mostar, we will pass small towns Ljubinje and Stolac as well as the birth place of St.Basil (Sveti Vasilije).
- After short breaks, we reach Mostar around 12:00. The old town will demonstrate its rich history with its beautiful Old Bridge, Kalebija Tower, Clock Tower, Curved Bridge, Mostar Bridge – Kujundzuk with numerous gift shops and craft-workshops…
- Lunch break is organized in a restaurant in the Old Town and after lunch, you have free time at your disposal.
- Undoubtedly, what is worth visiting is Blagaj, where there is a spring, a small green cave, which yields 36 m2 of water per second. It is one of the most powerful springs in Europe. Tekia (Tekija), the residence of Dervis religious people, is what emphasizes all the beauty of Blagaj.
