The Neretva River running through the centre. The old town is quite nice to stroll through. The center of town is rather pleasant too, with stunning views in every direction. People in Konjic are very easy going and friendly so feel free to ask someone for directions or to engage in some small talk. One of the not-to-be-missed attractions is certainly Kamena cuprija (Stone Bridge) built in 1682. Since the early 1900s, Konjic has come to be known for its woodcarvers. The epicenter of the Konjic tourism offer is most certainly the area around Boracko Lake and the valley of Gla-veticevo.
This partial glacier lake has bungalows, a hotel and camping facilities. Most of the outdoor activities begin from this region: hiking, camping, rafting, kayaking, village tourism, canoeing, mountain biking and even paragliding. The northernmost town of Herzegovina has never been either „true Herzegovina“ or „true Bosnia“, but something unique and genuine. Showered with warm Herzegovinian sun it welcomed settlers from all around the world, gave them nice home, took care of them, fed them and educated them and they in return gave it their love – they would install in all the buildings and streets they created.
