We finish off our journey to the south on the river Trebizat. Trebizat is 51 km (30 miles) long and is the second largest losing stream in Bosnia
and Herzegovina that drains into the underground and reappears several
times. In terms of length, it comes right after the Trebišnjica river
which is the largest river of this kind in the world and also a
tributary of the Neretva watershed.
We also had lunch on the river in the Restaurant/Motel called "Most", which translated means "Bridge". The lunch was excellent, but we had to wait some time, before our order arived, since the place was jam packed.
This is a multi-part series, other parts include:
Part One: Mogorjelo, the Roman country house
Part Two: The Kravice Waterfalls
Part Three: The River Trebizat and Lunch
The Trebizat river is the only underground river in Europe which sinks
into the ground and emerges again a total of 9 times. This is a river
with nine names, full of travertines, with amazing landscapes and a
meandering stream, which waters the surrounding fertile fields.
A sign, letting the drivers know, that they are crossing the river Trebizat.
While the others waited for lunch, I took a walk around the motel to see what I could find.
There is a nice park area here.
Another small restaurant is located here, and it belongs to the one we were visiting. This one here is not currently used.
This river flows through an area of remarkable ecological value, hosting protected areas such as the travertine-formation around Kravice Waterfall.
You can even freshen yourself up on the cold river stream.
It was time to head back for lunch.
Everything was delicious.
We payed our bill and headed back home. It was a wonderful day spent in the south.
The End
It looks as if you have had plenty of rain.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some wonderful cave systems here.
There are, in fact, many of them, located along the river stream.
DeleteWonderful group of photos, an album really, of a beautiful place. It's a beautiful area, well-maintained.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Sylvia.
DeleteFine photos of an interesting river side community. Your food shots look very "American" with fries and cheese cover food.
ReplyDeleteThe "cheese" is actually mushroom gravy.
DeleteA river that goes underground and then reappears nine times is like a magical part of a fantasy book! It's beautiful! And so is the restaurant and its surrounds. Love the photo of the round stones and the wooden wheels!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of rivers that do that here in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's quite an unusual landmark.
DeleteAmazing photos of a beautiful place...
ReplyDeleteWish I could afford to go and see this in person. Thank you for your lovely post
What a beautiful spot to have lunch.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a river which goes underground and emerge again, for 9 X, OMG. That would be lovely to trace. I can imagine though there are many names! What an amazing river.
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely. And it also goes through many landscapes. You can look up more about it on the internet.
DeleteWieder ein wunderschönes Fleckchen Erde und kein Wunder wenn das Restaurant da so voll ist. Muss herrlich sein dort draussen speisen zu können^^
ReplyDeleteSchönen Wochenstart und herzliche Grüsse
