Kravice:
Waterfall Kravice, cca 40 km from Mostar, forms a small natural wonder in the heart of Herzegovina with a small oasis and a waterfall over 10 meters high. Swimming allowed.

Počitelj:
Počitelj, the small town in the south of Herzegovina, is also called "Place at the Citadel" and is geographically in close proximity to the Dinaric Mountains. It formed at all times a natural and strategically important defense and border point. The fortified settlement was first built on behalf of the Bosnian king Tvrtko I in the 13th century. In the following years Počitelj was systematically expanded. In particular, the fort was built by the then ruling Hungarians, but also with logistical and financial support of the Republic of Ragusa (Dalmatia) as an important defense against the campaigns of the Ottomans. The Ottoman supremacy but also subjugated this area in 1471 and conquered this border point together with the Republic of Venice and Dalmatia. In subsequent years, the settlement was extended with the typical oriental architecture, the Hadži-Alija Mosque, a Medresa (Koran school), a Hamman (bath), Sahatkula (the clock tower), the Han (inn) and many residential and family houses. In the same family house is the well-known international art gallery, where artists from all over the world come together - to exhibit their works, but the Počitelj is a work of art as an overall concept.

Blagaj:
Blagaj, a town a few kilometers from Mostar, will tell you two different stories about castles, kings and queens, Turkish houses and beys. She shows you her stony hills and crystal clear, ice-cold water and tells you her story about life and death and love. The medieval Blagaj was a part of the castle complex Blagaj (or "Stjepan grad") on the mountains above the present town and the seat of Duke Stjepan Vukčić. Blagaj is also the birthplace of the Bosnian queen Katarina Kosača-Kotromanić in 1425. But it was not until the arrival of the Ottomans in the 14th century that the city began to develop more. There were seven mosques, two hostels for travelers then, four musafirhana (guest houses), a medresa and two mekteb (madrasas), 7 flour mills and 4 stone bridges. In 1893 an Orthodox church was built, 1908 a Roman Catholic. A building that stands out among all these buildings is the 16th-century Dervish Tekkija Monastery. The building nestles on the steep cliffs next to one of the largest cave springs in Europe, the source of the Buna River. Today, the monastery is still used by dervishes of the Sufi Order for prayer rituals. The white walls of the monastery with its small windows and balconies are reflected in the green waters of the underground Buna River.
