The River and the Town<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are few places in Bosnia and Herzegovina where a river so deeply shapes urban life as the Bregava in Stolac. It does not flow beside the town \u2014 it flows through it, creating channels, river islands, and small waterfalls in the middle of the bazaar. The stone bridges and stupe, where cloth was once fullered, and the mills for grinding grain preserve the memory of centuries of intertwining between people and the river.

That atmosphere has not disappeared \u2014 it has been declared a national cultural monument and today attracts visitors who come not only to cool off in the cold water, but also to experience Stolac as Mak Dizdar saw it: as a town where the blue river has its own soul.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
