Things to Do  

old town

old town, Trebinje

 iaint Says:  I found the old town after I'd been all round town once already. It's small and a bit dilapidated in places, but if you're in town go and check it out for yourself. 

Hercegovačka Gračanica

Hercegovačka Gračanica, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  I took a photo of the landscape from the village (first photo). Once at home, when I looked at it closely, I discovered that on top of the mountain overhanging the unidentified village, stand a building with a familiar look. I made a close-up. Though not of good quality, it... 

A dam!

A dam!, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  A dam! That must be what is forbidden to photography! I had not noticed it at first and had there not been the road sign, I will certainly have missed it. I took a second photo with telephoto lens.This is the dam on the Trebišnjica river that makes the the artificial... 

Zabranieno fotografisanje!

Zabranieno fotografisanje!, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  In the village a little further, I found another road sign that forbid any photography. As the road sign was dilapidated, I felt that it did not mean anything anymore and I took several photos. These kind of sign dates from the time of the 1992-96 wars, when this area was... 

No photo!

No photo!, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  I was driving on the road near Lastva when I saw this amazing road sign. Though not obvious, it seemed to forbid photos but I had not seen anything that deserved any ban of photo. So, as there was nobody around, I stopped to take a photo of the sign and try to find out for... 

Defilé of the Trebišnjica river

Defilé of the Trebišnjica river, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  A little further west, the Trebišnjica river has carved a narrow defile. The road is very scenic but unfortunately, as the valley is so narrow, there are very few spots where it is possible to park to take photos. Believe me, it is more scenic that I have been able to show... 

Trebišnjica river

Trebišnjica river, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  Trebišnjica river is an amazing river. It flows in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia under various names (Mušnica, Gračanica, Fatnička, etc) but the name does not change when it goes from one country to another but because it is a sinking river ! It flows... 

Wild sage

Wild sage, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  Sage (Salvia officinalis) cultivated in many gardens all over Europe to season meals or to prepare infusions grows wild in these mountains. It has even a stronger smell than when it is cultivated at lower elevations. I have taken seeds to check if they keep the same strong...

Transportation  

mines

mines, Trebinje

 iaint Says:  I noticed 2 warning signs for minefields on the way from Mostar. There may be others which are not marked - some parts of the road are very remote. I also saw a military mines clearance team heading off to tackle one location.So, if you are going to have a picnic en route,... 

roadsigns

roadsigns, Trebinje

 iaint Says:  All the roadsigns in the area are in cyrillic alphabet as it is part of Republika Srpska. I can speak Russian so it was fine for me (the Serb and Russian alphabets are not identical, but are so close as to make no difference).That will make navigation difficult for those who...

Local Customs  

Coffee "Ispod platana"

Coffee "Ispod platana", Trebinje

 Prasnjavi Says:  Early in the morning, you will see many people coming back from the green market and having a coffee and "loza" (alcohol drink). It will be good to give waiter a tip around 10% of the bill. The very famous place is coffee bar "Ispod platana" close to city green market. 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Caution, school

Caution, school, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  Some Vters already know that I collect photos of School warning road sign. I could not miss this one in the unidentified village (or suburb of Trebinje). The drawing is modern and can now be found in several countries but the text is written in Cyrrilic fonts (we are in...

Off The Beaten Path  

The old road

The old road, Trebinje

 JLBG Says:  In some parts, the old road remains along the new one, built in the 50s. In the same way as other old roads in former Yugoslavia, it was built in stone, almost like a wide wall. Thus it is always narrow and it is very difficult to pass another car: there is no space to go...
