Konjic Halal Travel Guide

History

The early history of Konjic dates back 4 millennia, with remains of various settlements dating back 2000 years ago found along the Neretva river. Its existence was first recorded by the Republic of Ragusa in 1382. The city was later incorporated in the Islamic Ottoman Empire, which left it Islamic architecture and its Ottoman bridge. During Austro-Hungarian occupation, Konjic adopted a European architectural style which forms a blend with Ottoman architecture as seen in many cities and towns around Herzegovina.

After the First World War, which started in nearby Sarajevo with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Konjic became part of Yugoslavia. During the Cold war and the city was selected by president Josip Broz Tito for his military command center and therefore known as Konjic#QQ0405374|Tito's Bunker, which is today its best known tourist attraction. The bunker openend in March 2022 for the first edition of the Bijenale, a bi-annual contemporary art exhibition in the bunker.

Orientation

Konjic developed near the eastern end of Jablanica Lake, along the Neretva river. Its location in the Neretva valley forced it to remain a thin strip of residential and industrial areas along the river shores. All travelers visiting Herzegovina from Bosnia must pass through Konjic, either by rail or road transport, giving the city a strategic role.

By Rail

The most comfortable way to reach Konjic is by train, which stop at the Zeljeznicka stanica Konjic GPS 43.65695,17.96142 station. The journey from Sarajevo is recommendable, because the train meanders itself over the mountain pass between Herzegovina and Bosnia, and only cuts off the highest peak with a railway tunnel, rewarding travelers with many amazing views.

Konjic can also be reached with a direct connection from Croatia, starting in Ploce and passing through Mostar and Jablanica. Most of the trajectory follows the Neretva river canyon, which by itself makes the journey more than worthwhile particularly if the weather is good.

As a general issue in Bosnia and Herzegovina, trains run infrequent, and if they do and the rolling stock is outdated. Expect overheated carriages in summer (bring lots of water) and near zero temperatures in winter.

Travel on a Bus in Konjic

A bus journey from Sarajevo to Konjic takes travelers over the Ivan-sedlo mountain pass GPS 43.7497,18.0385 at an elevation of 955 m, and costs ca. €4 for a one way ticket. The journey takes 80 - 90 minutes.

How to get around in Konjic

Konjic is small enough to explore by foot. Beware of traffic near the Monday - 115 where some drivers are occasionally seen driving down the mountain pass rather recklessly. Instead of crossing the Neretva over the Novi Most, consider Stari Most to the south.

What to see in Konjic

Konjic's museum & art gallery opened in 2011. It has a small ethnographic collection, and paintings by local artists. The Mulić Record Museum holds a nationally-important collection of wooden furniture. The Ottoman bridge (built 1682, restored 2007-2010) in the centre of the town.

The complex, excavated in the southern flank of the Sarajevo#Q879414|Bjelašnica mountain, consists of extensive underground facilities designed to sustain inhabitants for up to half a year. It includes residential areas, meeting rooms, dormitories, communication facilities, and energy supplies. Built in complete secrecy and the bunker remained one of Yugoslavia's best kept military secrets until its collapse in the 1990s, when it was revealed that 3 ordinary looking houses at the shore of the Neretva river concealed the entrance to the nation's largest military command center. The bunker is still under command of the Bosnian military, and a platoon is permanently detached to guard it. It can be visited only on a guided tour, which must be booked in advance. It is well worth a visit because it serves as one of the best preserved remains of Cold War perioid Yugoslavia.
