The Mountain Velez is named after the Slavic god Veles, and it's located in the south-central part of the Herzegovina region, overlooking the city of Mostar. The plains above the city are unpredictable when it comes to weather. It's mostly sunny, but winds can ruin the whole thing. Luckly for me this past weekend as perfect autumn weather. We even had some snow on the mountain peaks. The highest peak of Velez mountain is called Botin, and it is 1969 meters (6500 feet) high. I hope you will enjoy these autumnal images from the mountains.
The valley of the city Mostar.
In order to get here you need to divert from the main M-17 route that
goes through Mostar and drive to the lookout spot "Fortica" from which
you continue driving to these plains, sometimes known as "Podvelezje",
meaning "At the foot of the mountain Velez" (which you will see in a
couple of images later). Roads here are few and narrow. They pierce through the stony hills and
make their way over the valley all the way to the foot of even bigger
mountains.
What does the autumn season look like in your corners of the world?

Schöne Bilder hast du gemacht.
ReplyDeleteBei deinem anderen Bericht über Island, welcher noch nicht zu lesen ist, aber im Vorschau dabei war, sah ich das BIld von der Straße und sofort in dem Moment ohne zu lesen, wusste ich das es Island ist und schlug mein Herz rasend, da ich Island so liebe und unbedingt noch zurück will. Ich warte angespannt auf deine Berichte von Island. Liebe Grüße
Ja das war ein anderer Bericht welcher Morgen gepostet werden sollte. Morgen fahre ich nach Island, und bleibe dort die nächsten 10 Tage. :) Einen Reisebericht gibt es auch danach (und deinen habe ich auch nochmal durchgelesen).
DeleteAmazing. Thanks for the post and awesome pics.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Thanks for visiting.
Deleteso much beauty out there, i love the red roof on the hill pic..
ReplyDeletesuch stark terrain, such a majestic mountain. Very nice trip, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteLove those wide-open mountain views!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, Mersad! I especially liked the view with the small building on the point of a hill. Such beautifully rugged terrain.
ReplyDeleteSome of the photos remind me of where we live!
ReplyDeleteLovely scenes. That road looks interesting and at the same time just a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteLove the sky in the last shot... Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots. It is snowing in our mountains today .... here in the valley it is rain. I don't mind - a good day to stay in and catch up with my blogging friends!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to have accessible areas and landscape like those. Regarding your last question, am sorry i haven't even experienced autumn, disappointed because i have the long time dream of walking barefoot on fallen leaves. The tropics only have 2 seasons-the dry and the wet!
ReplyDeletethese are awesome mountain views, made my feet itch to climb again.
ReplyDeleteStunning shots! It looks like a perfect place for a Slavic god - the views are magnificent.
