More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The minivan pulls away from Mostar and the low hills of Herzegovina open like pages in a field guide: terraced orchards, Ottoman stone roofs, and a river that seems determined to carve its own story. At Počitelj you step onto steep alleys and a fort's vantage that watches the valley; pomegranate trees crowd courtyards and vendors sell syrup-sweet treats.
