An important natural source of water
The Neretvica River is the right tributary of the Neretva River and springs not far from the top of Vitreuša (Zec Mountain) at 1510 meters above sea level. Downstream from Buturović Polje settlement, it flows into Jablanica Lake.
The total length of the Neretvica River from the source to the confluence is 27 km. Washed by a dozen of its tributaries, nestled in the green of the mountain landscape, among the natural tourist heritage, stands out with its beauty.
This river carries clean and crystal clear water from the high mountain foothills, which is why it is considered an important natural source of drinking water. Along with its tributaries, Neretvica is excellent for fishing and aquaculture. This beautiful river is so clean that it is drinkable throughout its course and meets all the conditions of a protected area of the highest level.
Neretvica is home to numerous species of fish, primarily the indigenous species, brown trout. Among the rich fauna of Neretvica, the white-legged crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) stands out and is included in the IUCN Red List of endangered plant and animal species. Crabs are quite sensitive to any kind of pollution, so they are an excellent indicator of the cleanliness of Neretvica, considering that this is their habitat.
The abyss of the river Neretvica is located on the western slopes of Bitovinja. The sinking water later appears as a waterfall named Tuhelj and flows into the Neretvica at the turn for the village of Gornji Čažanj. It is also known for its waterfall, about 300 meters long, which makes it the largest in the Konjic area.
Buk under Baglavnica represents another oasis of peace, which leaves no one indifferent. Hidden in a dense forest, it is an ideal place to pamper your body and soul. Buk is located just a few meters from the road that connects Buturović-Polje and Parsovići, between the Pasjak and Oteleški Vijer natural pools.
The most important tributary of the Neretvica is the Plavušin potok, a river created from several small springs, and its most valuable jewel is the Crni Vir waterfall, which also represents the mouth of this river into the Neretvica. Hidden between several high rocks, this waterfall is a true pearl of nature and is ideal for refreshment on hot summer days.
There are approximately 15 bathing areas on the Neretvica River that leave no one indifferent, and the bathing areas “Ahmed Hondo – Šljevčica”, “Pasjak”, “Buk” and “Lukšijski Most” are just some of them. All bathing areas are characterized by a beautiful landscape, fountains for relaxation, and plenty of greenery.
The „Pasjak“ natural pool stands out because there is a zip line nearby, one of the biggest attractions on Neretvica. You can jump into the crystal clear river, from the zip line, or descend over the bathing area itself, which is perfect for those who want a dose of adrenaline. Because of the calm water, it is an ideal place for all generations, especially children. Fun in the sand, diverse river stones are a paradise for the youngest.
The „Buk“ natural pool is also interesting because, at the very beginning, there is a wild rapid, after which the natural pool got its name. Also, an indispensable part is the rock jumps, which are an extra reason to visit this very pearl of Neretvica.
Mala Neretvica is a tributary of the Neretvica, which forms a famous waterfall near the village of Požetva, at an altitude of 697 meters, which leaves no one indifferent.
