Closed Check Point
Real Check Point
Twenty years ago, there was a terrible confrontation. On the whole road to Mostar, one can hardly guess at the events that took place, not so long ago.
The remnants of the Bosnian war are still present throughout the city. Many vestiges of a confrontation remind us of this eventful past. The administration chooses annually, which building should be repaired, but being a Croat majority, the area where Serd and Croat live (west of the river) are being taken care of first.
This area is bounded by the Neretva river, dividing the city in two. The Muslim side or the Croat side. Majdas Hostel was on the east side, only a few minutes from the Old Bridge.

Stari Most
Built in the 16 th Century, nobody knew that the Ottoman Bridge crossing the Neretva river, would become the symbol of an armed conflict.
After, giving its name to the city, erosion due to humidity, supporting the passage of Nazi tanks during the Second World War, it was famously bombed in 1993, during the Croat-Bosniak war. Destroyed the day, and repaired every nights.
Fortunately for us it has been reconstructed to it’s former glory, reopening again in 2004, and declared a UNESCO World heritage site.
The Bosnian city, even welcome one of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series (September). Class jump are also given (25€), practicing on the smaller platforms. So everybody can attempt the 20-ish meter jump, from the Stari Most, symbolically linking Western and Eastern civilization.

Thanks for visiting my country.
I was there in September, but could not find the way to get inside with my friend, and i wasn’t bold enough, with so many people around.
Majdas est l’une, si ce n’est le meilleur hostel lors d’un Europe Tour. On y rencontre tout type de personne avec un nombre incalculable de tips utile. Merci pour le souvenir
