Blagaj: Buna spring and tekke below the cliff

Blagaj is one of Herzegovina’s most peaceful images: a powerful spring, a tall cliff and the tekke resting by the water. It is easy to visit from Mostar, but deserves more than a quick photo stop.

Planning the visit

Food and local experience

  • Order local fish if available.
  • Choose a calm table instead of the first visible terrace.
  • Bring water and sun protection in summer.
  • Respect the spiritual character of the tekke.
