You step off the vintage carriage and the air changes—cool river breath, limestone cliffs, and the low call of a village mosque trailing across the valley. The train deposits you at the edge of Herzegovina and an 8‑hour loop unfolds: the oral histories of Blagaj’s tekke, the stone streets of Počitelj, the silent church at Žitomislići, and the roar of Kravice’s falls where water throws itself over travertine rims.
