The namesake and landmark of the city of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina is the Old Bridge (Stari Most) in the medieval old town, because in the local language the bridge guards are called "Mostar". The stone arch spans the Neretva River, which winds through the valley enclosed by mountains, and literally forms a bridge between the Croatian- and Bosnian-influenced parts of the city.
UNESCO World Heritage Site and bridge jumper
For over 420 years, the bridge, built in 1566, was a social and economic centre until it was destroyed in the Bosnian war in 1993. In 1995, the Stari Most was rebuilt true to the original. In 2005, the Old Bridge was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List - not only because of its architectural peculiarity, but also because of its symbolic load-bearing capacity. Today, the bridge is not only a meeting place for numerous tourists, but also for many bridge jumpers. The old tradition of men jumping into the cold Neretva has become a real competitive sport over the years. Regular bridge-jumping competitions have been held since 1981. However, the locals also perform the "test of courage" when tourists donate a small "reward".
Places of interest and refreshments around the bridge
The old town of Mostar stretches out on both sides of the single-arched Old Bridge and is home to numerous buildings from the Ottoman period. A stroll through the alleys reveals architectural delicacies, small pubs and shops. The Karadjoz-Beg Mosque and the Christian basilica in the suburb of Cim, which illustrate the religious and cultural mix of the city, prove to be extremely worth seeing. In addition to the historical and architectural sights, the old town of Mostar offers secluded waterfront squares, lively cafés and small boutiques, souvenir and handicraft shops, which should make the trip varied and entertaining for the whole family.
