Wild Herzegovina Brochure

Discover the birds, wildlife and cultural heritage of Herzegovina through our richly illustrated, 100-page brochure. It introduces two ways to explore this fascinating region: a dedicated birdwatching holiday and a mixed tour combining birdwatching with history and culture, both based in the historic city of Mostar.

Inside, you will find day-by-day itineraries and photographs of the varied landscapes we visit, from the mountain meadows and forests of the Dinaric Alps to open karst fields, river valleys, Hutovo Blato marshlands and the Neretva Delta. Birds such as Golden Oriole, Bee-eater, Rock Partridge and Western Rock Nuthatch feature alongside butterflies, orchids and other wildlife. Detailed wildlife checklists, itinerary maps and a guest-written trip report give you a clearer picture of what you might encounter and how a holiday unfolds.

The mixed tour section explores the region’s history and traditions through historic towns, Mostar’s Old Bridge, the spectacular Buna River spring and a scenic train journey to Sarajevo. It also introduces visits to Trsteno Arboretum and Lokrum Island on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast.

Practical sections cover accommodation, transport, regional food and travel via Dubrovnik, while comments from previous guests offer a personal insight into the experience. You will also learn about our relaxed pace, gentle walks, time for photography and observation, and the benefits of staying in one place throughout your holiday, with no single supplement.

Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher, a beginner or someone who enjoys combining nature with cultural discovery, this brochure will help you decide which holiday suits you. It offers a taste of exploring Herzegovina with Denis Bohm, a local guide born and raised in Mostar, who shares his knowledge of its wildlife, landscapes and way of life.
