Neretva River (Rijeka Neretva)

The Neretva River, winding its way down from the Dinaric Alps, serves as the lifeblood of Mostar, flowing for 141 miles (225 kilometers) through lakes, gorges, and historic towns. As Bosnia and Herzegovina’s longest river, it curls through the heart of Mostar, historically acting as both a geographic and political divider. Visitors can experience the river’s dynamic presence, with its clear, swift waters and the iconic Stari Most bridge arching over it, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural significance.
