Cycling day trip from Mostar to Tasovčići

Roll out from Mostar’s iconic Stari Most (a UNESCO World Heritage bridge) and cruise south along the Neretva. This is a roughly 42 km, fully paved ride that sticks mostly to quiet roads, with just brief touches of busier sections. It’s gently rolling—about 530 m of climbing overall—but trends downhill as you follow the river through vineyards, orchards, and limestone cliffs.

Nice detours if you’ve got time: Blagaj’s Buna spring and Dervish monastery, and the hillside village of Počitelj with its fortress and stone lanes—both classic Herzegovina views.

You’ll finish in Tasovčići, a riverside village next to Čapljina. From here, it’s an easy spin to the Roman villa at Mogorjelo or the bird-rich wetlands of Hutovo Blato Nature Park.

Tips: summer heat can be fierce in the Neretva valley—carry plenty of water. Expect a few short, narrow farm-road sections despite the smooth surface overall.
