The highlands of Herzegovina are where landscapes stretch wide and wild. Steep canyons, white cliffs, and deep green rivers carve through dry plateaus where olives grow and stone villages still stand. It’s warmer here. Sharper. More exposed. And the adventures match it – from canyoning and via ferrata to wild swimming and paragliding. This is Bosnia and Herzegovina at its most dramatic.
What to Experience
- Canyoning in Rakitnica and Bijela – narrow, water-carved canyons with jumps and rope descents.
- Via Ferrata near Mostar and Blagaj – climb vertical cliffs with massive views of the valley below.
- Paragliding near Fortresses – launch from high ridges and float above rivers and ancient stone towns.
- Swimming in natural pools and rivers – clear water, zero crowds, unforgettable refreshment.
- Sunset hikes above Mostar – silence, golden light, and a view that stays with you.
