A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT
The Neretva River is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's greatest natural treasures, in a country that is rich with natural wealth.
It is known as the bluest river on earth, but that's just local folklore. What is known about this beautiful river is that it is one of the coldest and, in certain stretches, deepest on earth.
The Neretva River begins in the Alps of southeast Bosnia and Herzegovina, and flows down into the Herzegovinian valleys.

The first major city it runs through is Konjic, a religiously diverse community with a economy based largely on tourism. Tens of thousands of tourist pass through Konjic every year, and more than a few stop to take advantage of the city's Neretva-related activities, including white-water rafting and para-gliding.
