More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning drive from Split unspools through karst ridges until the valley opens and the Trebižat River calls you to the water. The tour begins with the thunder and spray of Kravice Falls — broad limestone steps that fling cold, turquoise cascades into shallow pools — then moves through pilgrimage-dotted Međugorje and into Mostar, where the pale arch of the Stari Most arches over the Neretva like a suspended promise.
