You want to see one of the oldest bridges of the planet? Then you should go to Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the city of Mostar that in 120 kilometers from the capital of the state of Sarajevo. It is powerful and thus the graceful design connects river banks Neretva and by right carries a title of the most known sight of the region.
Stary Bridge was built in the 1560th years, when in the territory of future Bosnia and Herzegovina rules the Ottoman empire. However, we should disappoint fans of the real old times: in the 1990th years Stary Bridge was destroyed during the Yugoslavian conflict. Local authorities did everything possible carefully to restore a unique structure, to keep the atmosphere of old times and historical appearance of the bridge.
Reconstruction came to the end only in 2004, and in a year according to the decision of UNESCO all district of the city adjoining Stary Bridge was included in the list of the World heritage. If you decide to look at this carefully restored ancient stone bridge, it is better to choose time of carrying out traditional competition in jumps in river waters Neretva.
For the first time such jump was recorded in 1664! Young locals consider such occupation as the real tradition for the sake of which they are ready to run serious risks. Really: Stary Bridge height — 24 meters, and Neretva's waters very cold even in the hottest summer months. So the show waits for you really unforgettable and hazardous. However, in other time Stary Bridge is good also in itself, with the powerful towers and the harmonous transition which hung over a quiet current, and green coast.
