General presentation
Trebinje et Herzégovine du Sud
Southern town on the edge of Trebišnjica, monasteries, stone bridges, vineyards and karst escapes to Vjetrenica.
Old town of Trebinje, Hercegovačka Gračanica and Vjetrenica give the most telling landmarks of Trebinje and Southern Herzegovina. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: summer heat and rather short stay. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
