razloga zašto posjetiti Trebinje

10 Reasons to Visit Trebinje

SREDNJOVJEKOVNI STARI GRAD, ARSLANAGIĆA MOST, IZLETIŠTA, NAJVEĆI VODENI PARK „GRAD SUNCA“, MUZIČKI FESTIVAL S POGLEDOM NA GRAD, SAMO SU NEKI OD RAZLOGA DA POSJETITE TREBINJE. THE MEDIEVAL OLD TOWN, THE ARSLANAGIĆA BRIDGE, EXCURSION SITES, THE GREATEST WATER PARK „GRAD SUNCA“ („CITY OF THE SUN“), THE MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH A VIEW OF THE CITY, ARE JUST SOME OF THE REASONS TO VISIT TREBINJE.

1. ZAKORAČITE U PROŠLOST S DAŠKOM MEDITERANA

Kada prođete kroz kapiju Starog grada, kao da ste prošli kroz

vrijeme. Srž starog grada je netaknuta – u njemu će vas dočekati kaldrma, uske uličice i kamene kućice u kojima su ugostiteljski objekti i prodavnice. Po dolasku u Trebinje gotovo da možete osjetiti i blizinu Jadranskog mora, miris lavande, smokve i ruzmarina. To je i jedini grad u Bosni i Hercegovini u kojem se, zahvaljujući blizini Dubrovnika, osjeti utjecaj renesanse, isprepleten osmanskim, austrougarskim i socijalističkim elementima.

2. FENOMEN SUNCA

Trebinje je svojevrsni fenomen jer je sa više od 260 sunčanih dana u godini jedan od najsunčanijih balkanskih gradova. Zbog ugodne mediteranske klime odlikuju ga ugodna i topla ljeta, čije nesnosne hercegovačke vrućine gasi hladna Trebišnjica, te blage i kratke zime, stoga u koje god doba godine da se zaputite u njega – gotovo uvijek možete očekivati lijepo vrijeme i stanovnike vedrog duha.

1. STEP INTO THE PAST WITH A WHIFF OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

When you walk through the gate of the Old Town, it is as if you have walked through time. The core of the Old Town is untouched – here, you will be greeted by cobblestone, narrow streets and stone houses with restaurants/cafes and shops. Upon arrival to Trebinje, you can almost feel the proximity to the Adriatic Sea, the smell of lavender, figs and rosemary. This is also the only city in Bosnia and Herzegovina where, due to the proximity of Dubrovnik, you can feel the influence of the Renaissance, interwoven with Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and socialist elements.

2. THE SUN PHENOMENON

Trebinje is a bit of a phenomenon with its 260 sunny days in the year, making it one of the sunniest cities in the Balkans. Due to the pleasant Mediterranean climate, it is characterized by pleasant and warm summers (the unbearable Herzegovina heat is quenched by the cold Trebišnjica River), and mild and short winters, so whichever part of the year you decide to head in this direction – you can almost always expect to find good weather and cheerful locals.

3. GRAD SA NAJVIŠE ZAŠTIĆENIH SPOMENIKA

Zbog svoje historije koja seže još u prahistorijsko doba Trebinje je bogato kulturno-historijskim spomenicima, tačnije grad i njegova okolina imaju najviše zaštićenih nacionalnih spomenika u cijeloj Bosni i Hercegovini. Najveći broj posjetilaca privlače Muzej Hercegovine sa velikim brojem vrijednih eksponata,

Osman-pašina i Careva džamija, kameni mostovi i dolapi, te veliki broj nekropola stećaka i srednjovjekovnih manastira u okolini koji plijene pažnju svojim stilom gradnje, između kojih izdvajamo Tvrdoš, Duži, Zavala i Petropavlov manastir.

3. A CITY WITH THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PROTECTED MONUMENTS

Because of its history, which dates back to prehistoric times, Trebinje is abundant with cultural and historical monuments, i.e. the city and its surroundings have the greatest number of protected national monuments in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Museum of Herzegovina attracts the greatest number of visitors with a large number of valuable exhibits, as well as Osman Pasha's Mosque and the Careva (Emperor's) Mosque, the stone bridges and water wheels, and the large number of necropolises of stećci (medieval tombstones) and medieval monasteries in the surroundings, which are interesting because of the style that they were built in; we would single out Tvrdoš, Duži, Zavala and Petropavlo's Monastery.

4. „GRAD SUNCA“ AQUAPARK

Turistički i sportsko-rekreacioni kompleks smješten je na par kilometara od centra Trebinja, na Draženskoj Gori, a u sklopu njega nalazi se i najveći aqua park u Bosni i Hercegovini koji se prostire na 79.000 kvadratnih metara.

Kraj je poznat i po dobrim vinima o kojima zapisi sežu u daleki srednji vijek. Vinogradarstvom se tradicionalno bave mnoge trebinjske porodice, a o njihovom kvalitetu najbolje govore medalje koje su im dodijelila najzahtjevnija nepca na međunarodnim izložbama u Beču, Parizu i Londonu. Ljubitelji vina mogu uživati na nekoj od mnogobrojnih vinskih tura i sami se uvjeriti u kvalitet.

4. WATER PARK „GRAD SUNCA“ („CITY OF THE SUN“)

The tourist and sports and recreational complex is situated a few kilometers from the center of Trebinje, at Draženska Gora, and it consists of the greatest water park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which stretches out over 79 000 square meters. The complex has 6 pools and 13 slides, of which two are - Splash Safari and Dino Park (life-size replicas of dinosaurs). As part of the complex, there is a wellness spa center, ethno village, artificial lake, sporting grounds, the first five-star hotel in Trebinje and much more.

5. ETHNO AND CUISINE OFFER

Trebinje locals are truly thoughtful hosts, so they welcome their guests with a full di

ning table abundant in healthy and natural food cultivated in this fertile region. The region is also known for good wines, with records that testify of this dating back all the way to the Middle Ages. Traditionally, many families in Trebinje are winegrowers, and the fact that they have received medals from the most demanding of palates at international exhibitions in Vienna, Paris and London speaks of their quality. Fans of wine can enjoy some of the many wine tours and see the quality for themselves.

6. GRAD NA RIJECI SA VIŠE OD 20 MOSTOVA

Na plahovitoj rijeci Trebišnjici koja grad dijeli na dva dijela izgrađeno je dvadeset mostova zbog čega mještani Trebinje često nazivaju i „malom Venecijom“. Najljepši među njima je Arslanagića most, elegantni predstavnik osmanske arhitekture ovog kraja. Zadužbina Mehmed-paše Sokolovića, most dug 92 metra izgrađen je 1573.godine i predstavlja najstariju trebinjsku građevinu koja se do dan-danas izdvaja po svojoj ljepoti i neobičnim pričama koje se za njega vežu.

6. A CITY ON THE RIVER WITH

OVER 20 BRIDGES

On the fiery Trebišnjica River, which separates the city into two parts, twenty bridges have been built,

which is why the locals often call it „little Venice“. The prettiest among them is the Arslanagića Bridge, an elegant representation of the Ottoman architecture of this region. Built in 1573, the legacy of Mehmed Pasha Sokolović is 92 meters long, and represents the oldest structure in Trebinje, which stands out to this day, because of its beauty and unusual stories related to it.

7. MUZIČKI FESTIVAL S PRELIJEPIM POGLEDOM NA GRAD

Na prostoru amfiteatra smještenog na brdu Crkvina i platou ispred Hercegovačke Gračanice već nekoliko godina početkom augusta se održava „Music & More SummerFest“, internacionalni festival klasične muzike, što je zaista jedinstven doživljaj. Koncerti se održavaju na mjestu uređenog platoa oko crkve Blagovještenja s kojeg se pruža najljepši pogled na panoramu najjužnijeg bh. gradića u podnožju krškog diva Leotara, u pitomoj dolini rijeke Trebišnjice.

7. MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE CITY

In recent years, at the beginning of August at the amphitheater located on Crkvina hill and the plateau in front of Hercegovačka Gračanica, the „Music & More SummerFest“ has taken place, an international festival of classical music, which is truly a unique experience. Concerts are held on the plateau around the Blagovještenje Church (Church of the Holy Annunciation,) from which there is the prettiest view of the panorama of the most southern B&H town at the foot of the karst giant Mount Leotar, in the tame valley of the Trebišnjica River.

8. GRAD PJESNIKA JOVANA DUČIĆA

„Milo svoje Trebinje“ pisanom riječi i nesebičnim angažmanom najviše je zadužio pjesnik i diplomata Jovan Dučić (1874- 1943). Maštao je da njegov rodni grad bude kulturni centar, te je inicirao izgradnju današnjeg Muzeja Hercegovine, u kojem se nalaze brojni eksponati koje je Dučić sa svojih dipomatskih putovanja donosio u ovaj grad. Zaslužan je i za veliki broj spomenika koje danas možete vidjeti prilikom šetnje gradom. Njemu u čast svake godine se organiziraju „Dučićeve večeri poezije“.

8. THE CITY OF POET JOVAN DUČIĆ

The writer and diplomat Jovan Dučić (1874-1943) gave the most to „His dear Trebinje“ with the written word and selfless engagement. He dreamed that his birthplace would become a cultural center, so he initiated the construction of today's Museum of Herzegovina, where you can find various exhibits that Dučić brought to this city from his diplomatic travels. He can also be credited for the large number of monuments that you can see while on a stroll through the city. In his honor, the „Dučić Poetry Nights“ are organized each year.

9. RELAXATION UNDER TREBINJE'S PLANE TREES

The sixteen giant plane trees on the city square were planted during the Austro-Hungarian period; they are a symbol of Trebinje and a tourist attraction. With their

century-old branches, they protect the city center, creating great shade during summer in front of „Platani“ Hotel, where you can hardly find a spot in the outdoor cafe. Trebinje locals like to say that you have not been to Trebinje if you have not had a coffee under the plane trees, and if you really want to enjoy yourself, you should always listen to the locals.

9. ODMOR ISPOD TREBINJSKIH PLATANA

Šesnaest platana, gorostasnih stabala na gradskom trgu zasađenih u austrougarsko doba, simbol su Trebinja i turistička atrakcija. Svojim granama starim jedan vijek štite gradsko jezgro, ljeti stvarajući debelu hladovinu ispred hotela „Platani“ u čijoj se bašti jedva pronađe slobodno mjesto.Trebinjci vole reći da nije bio u Trebinju ko nije popio kafu pod platanima, a za zagarantovani užitak lokalce uvijek treba poslušati.
