European trend of converting abandoned railroad tracks into cycling routes has arrived in our region.
The Historic Railroad Trail with steam locomotives passes from Mostar alongside Neretva river all the way across the border with Croatia, ending in Dubrovnik.
The construction of this trail started in 1898 and ended in 1901.
Today this trail is reconstructed into 200 kilometers long cycling track, with more than 350 km of additional tracks directly connected with main route.
Cities on the route: Čapljina // Position
The town and the Municipality of Čapljina are interwoven into fhe well-indented and tame area of the lower river Neretva course. It is surrounded by Late Antique monuments Mogorjelo and Gabela, the exotic landscape of Struga, ancient Počitelj - the famous stone complex of the medieval architecture and Hutovo blato - one of the richest wading bird reserves in Europe.
One could say for Čapljina that it is a "fondling of waters" as it is located on four rivers: Neretva, Trebižat, Bregava and Krupa. The surrounding relief is intersected with various shapes in which the barren karst, rivers, canyons and ravines, waterfalls and mellow landscapes, and the lowland and green Neretva valley complement each other.
The vicinity of the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean climate create the basic climatic features of the Čapljina region, very suitable for growing grapevine and Mediterranean fruit and vegetables. Nowadays, as well as for centuries, Čapljina is a desirable place to live in.
