Trans Dinarica – a new opportunity for sustainable tourism and the development of Konjic

The City of Konjic participates as a partner in the project TRANSDINARICA2 – “Transformation with Trans Dinarica – Phase 2”, which is being implemented within the EU Interreg Danube Region Programme.

The project is developing the first long-distance cycling route in the Dinaric Alps (3,300+ km), connecting natural attractions and local communities across the Western Balkans, with an important link to the well-known Alpe–Adria cycling route, further enhancing the region’s international visibility and accessibility.

The route passes through spectacular mountain landscapes, authentic villages, rivers, and protected natural areas, offering a unique experience of active and sustainable tourism. A special focus is placed on discovering lesser-known destinations, directly strengthening local communities and supporting their development.

The goal of the project is to develop sustainable cycling tourism, strengthen local economies, and promote authentic destinations across the region.

Of particular importance are the support hub centers along the route—places where cyclists can receive information, technical and logistical support, as well as recommendations for local attractions. These centers connect travelers with local communities and enhance the overall quality of the travel experience.

In addition to presenting the project itself, an analysis of the tourism situation in Konjic was presented, in collaboration with the Agency for Economic Development “PRVI KORAK” Ltd. and the Institute for Progress and Development of Herzegovina, serving as an important foundation for further development of the tourism offer, strategic planning, and destination enhancement.

For Konjic, this project represents an important step forward in strengthening the tourism offer and positioning the town as a destination for active and sustainable tourism, with an emphasis on the Neretva River, the surrounding mountains, and authentic experiences.

Konjic – part of a great European cycling story!
