Neretva Canyon Road
M-17Konjic to Jablanica
The M-17 between Konjic and Jablanica carves through one of the Balkans' most spectacular river gorges, following the electric-turquoise Neretva between limestone cliffs.
Head south-west from Konjic on the M-17 as it enters the Neretva gorge. The road clings to the canyon wall with the turquoise river close below and vertical limestone faces on both sides. Several bridges cross and re-cross the Neretva as the valley tightens before widening into the Jablaničko reservoir plain approaching Jablanica.
