Blagaj is the most spiritually atmospheric and most scenically extraordinary village in Herzegovina -- a village of 4,500 inhabitants 136km southwest of Sarajevo Airport at the source of the Buna River, whose extraordinary combination of the Blagaj Tekke (the most dramatically positioned Islamic spiritual monument in Bosnia and Herzegovina -- the Blagaj dervish monastery, built directly into the cliff face at the point where the Buna River emerges fully formed from the karst rock, the most spectacularly staged tekke in the entire Balkans, the founding dervish lodge of the Bektashi order in Bosnia dating from the 16th century, the most important single monument of dervish Sufi heritage in the former Yugoslav space, the most photographed single building in Herzegovina after the Stari Most, its white-washed walls reflected in the deep turquoise of the spring pool in the most hypnotically beautiful natural-architectural image in the country) and the Buna Spring (the most powerful karst spring in the Balkans -- the Buna emerges at a flow rate of up to 43 cubic metres per second, the most volumetrically impressive single spring source in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most visually arresting natural water emergence in the entire Dinaric karst system, its colour -- the deepest and most extraordinary turquoise-green of any karst spring in the region -- the most otherworldly single natural colour experience in Herzegovina) give it a spiritual and natural heritage of world-class visual impact.
Blagaj's most important heritage and cultural context is its proximity to Mostar (12km north -- the Old Bridge UNESCO city, the most internationally recognised destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the extraordinary fortress of Stjepan Grad (the most completely preserved medieval Herzegovinian fortress on the hill directly above Blagaj village -- the seat of Duke Stjepan Vukcic Kosaca, the most powerful Herzegovinian noble of the 15th century, the man who gave Herzegovina its name -- Hercegovina, from 'Herceg' meaning duke, the man most directly responsible for the naming of the entire region, the most historically influential single individual in Herzegovinian identity). The Blagaj village itself (the most authentically Ottoman-influenced domestic architecture of any Herzegovina village, its old stone houses and mill wheels along the Buna the most completely preserved pre-industrial water village landscape in the region, the most photogenic traditional village setting in Herzegovina) and the Neretva estuary proximity (the most biologically diverse wetland in Herzegovina, the most important winter habitat for migratory waterbirds in the country, the most ecologically valuable lowland landscape between Mostar and the Adriatic) give the Blagaj area a natural and architectural identity of the most comprehensive and most visually rewarding kind in the Herzegovinian landscape.
Blagaj Tekke -- Most Dramatically Positioned Dervish Monastery in the Balkans, Built into the Cliff at the Source of the Buna, Most Photographed Building in Herzegovina After Stari Most: The Blagaj Tekke (the most dramatically positioned Islamic spiritual monument in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bektashi dervish monastery built into the cliff face at the Buna spring source -- 16th century, the most spectacularly staged tekke in the Balkans, its white walls reflected in the deepest turquoise spring pool in Herzegovina -- the most photographed single building in the region after the Mostar Old Bridge) gives Blagaj a spiritual and visual heritage of world photography and spiritual tourism appeal.
Buna Spring -- Most Powerful Karst Spring in the Balkans, Flow Rate up to 43 m3/s, Most Extraordinary Natural Turquoise Colour in the Dinaric Karst: The Buna Spring (the most volumetrically powerful karst spring in the Balkans, emerging at up to 43 cubic metres per second from the cliff base -- the most visually arresting single water emergence in the Dinaric karst system, its extraordinary deep turquoise-green colour the most otherworldly natural water colour experience in Herzegovina) gives Blagaj a natural heritage of world geological and visual significance in the study of Dinaric karst hydrogeology.
