Konjic

Konjic
Konjic is a small town located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about halfway between Sarajevo and Mostar. It sits along the emerald-green Neretva River, surrounded by beautiful mountains that create a stunning backdrop for this historic place.
The town has been around since ancient times and has a rich cultural heritage. One of the most fascinating parts of Konjic's history is Tito's nuclear bunker (ARK), a massive underground facility built during the Cold War era that remained a secret until the 1990s. Today, it serves as a contemporary art museum and offers a glimpse into Yugoslavia's past.
The old stone bridge in Konjic is another important landmark. Originally built in the 17th century and later reconstructed after WWII, it spans the Neretva River and stands as a symbol of the town. The bridge connects the two parts of the town and provides great views of the river.
Konjic is also known for its traditional woodcarving, which has been recognized by UNESCO as an important part of cultural heritage. Local artisans continue this centuries-old craft, creating beautiful furniture and decorative items.
The surrounding nature offers plenty of outdoor activities, with the nearby Prenj mountain range and Boračko Lake being popular destinations. The clean air and beautiful landscapes make Konjic a perfect spot for nature lovers looking to explore Bosnia's countryside.
