Vrhovina – Springs, Via Dinarica and Hotels

The natural environment can be understood through the course of a waterway and geological connections. The Vrhovinska rijeka rises in Vrhovina and was named after this village; the place name is thus carried on in the name of the river. It belongs to the Adriatic drainage basin. From its source in Vrhovina to its confluence with the Neretva, the Vrhovinska rijeka is approximately 12 kilometres long, with an elevation difference of 635 metres. The Vrhovina spring is also mentioned in connection with Treskavica.

Vrhovina is part of the named Vrhovina–Vlaholje–Jelašca geological zone. In the wider regional surroundings of the Treskavica highlands, there are karst depressions and zones with sinkholes. Below the village of Hotovlje, the river changes its name to the Hotovska rijeka and, together with the Graiseljička rijeka, forms the Jezernica. The geological and hydrological connections thus extend across several named places and landforms.

The routes are described in specific terms by length, direction and markings. The Via Dinarica stage from Kalinovik to Vrhovina is 16.1 kilometres long, while the stage from Vrhovina to Tušila is 22.7 kilometres. On Via Dinarica sections from Ljuta via Jakomišlje and from Jakomišlje towards Lukavac–Vlaholje, the markings were renewed and additional markings were installed. The route details thus clearly connect named starting and destination points with different distances and sections.

The Via Dinarica route from Vrhovina to Tušila continues from Vrhovina along a gravel road in the direction of Ljuta. Near Vrhovina, the Via Dinarica route indicates a spring beside a well. In addition to the length of a stage, this also describes the specific nature of a section and a named point along the route.

The history of the area emerges through named sites and prehistoric remains. Vrhovina is one of the places in the Kalinovik area where remains of prehistoric fortifications and settlements have been found in the surroundings. The prehistoric remains associated with Vrhovina show that the area was already inhabited in prehistoric times.

The possible occupancy, included services, individual price components, as well as the booking and cancellation conditions are equally relevant. For multiple travellers, you can compare the occupancy for each offer and check which services are already included. Price components should be fully legible so that the comparison is not based solely on the first stated amount. Also read the booking and cancellation conditions before completing the booking. You can then view or compare the offers and place the fields important for your planning side by side.
