Do 10 sati polazimo prema najvećem rezervatu ptica i najpoznatijoj močvari u Europi, Hutovu blatu. Obilazak ove jedinstvene submediteranske močvare završit će objedom u tom prekrasnom ambijentu u kojem je smješten restoran ‘Karaotok’ ili u obližnjem restoranu ‘Vego’. Na trpezi će Vas čekati specijaliteti kuće, od kojih je na daleko poznata jegulja sa žara i različiti riblji specijaliteti. Nakon objeda Vaša ‘Hercegovačka priča’, završava. Sigurni da ste uživali u istraživanju Hercegovine, upoznali nove ljude s kojima je užitak prijate- ljevati, ali i da ste saznali da je iza Vas ostalo još puno neistraženog sadr- žaja i još puno dobrih i ugodnih domaćina, mi znamo da se vidimo opet. DAY 4 You will truly enjoy this breakfast, but with sadness because tomorrow the magic of Herzegovinian appetizers, hospitality and friendship of the Herzegovinian people will become only a part of your memory. There- fore, the host will make every effort to make your inner call to return to this country so strong that you will not be able to resist it. By 10 o’clock we will head for the largest bird reservation and the best known marsh in Europe, Hutovo blato. The tour of this unique sub Mediterranean marsh is completed by a meal in this beautiful ambiance in the restaurant ‘Karaotok’ or the nearby restaurant ‘Vego’. Specialties of the house will be waiting for you on the table. One of the most famous specialties is grilled eel, followed by different fish specialties. After lunch your ‘Herzegovinian story’ ends. Certain that you have enjoyed exploring Herzegovina, meeting new people with whom you have formed friendships and realizing that you have much more to explore and many more good and amiable hosts to meet, we are certain that we will see you again. 22 23

14 Villa Rustica - Mogorjelo Jedan od najznačajnijih spomenika rimskog doba u BiH je svakako Mogorjelo. Riječ je o ostatcima utvrđene vile subur- bane s početka 4. stoljeća iako je već i u 1. stoljeću nove ere ovdje postojalo poljoprivredno imanje sa zgradama za sta- novanje, skladištima, stajama, mlinovima, pekarnom, ulja- rom i kovačnicom. Ovdje ćete zapravo saznati da tradicija maslinarstva seže još u davna vremena kada su stari Rimljani prepoznali Hercegovinu kao plodno tlo za uzgoj najčuve- nijeg mediteranskog eliksira. Svjedoče o tome arheološka nalazišta, posebice ostatci ‘dolija’ u kojima su Rimljani čuvali maslinovo ulje. Od tada do danas uz vinogradarstvo održava se i tradicija maslinarstva. Provala Zapadnih Gota, dovela je do razaranja Ville koju preživjeli stanovnici više nisu mogli obnoviti u punom sjaju. No, njezini ostatci, unatoč tomu, do dan danas, svoje posjetitelje ostavljaju bez daha. One of the most significant monuments of the Roman era in BIH is surely Mogorjelo. These are the remains of a fortress villa suburbana from the early 4th century. But already in the 1st century of the new era an agricultural estate existed here, with buildings for housing, warehouses, barns, mills, a bakery, 13 an oil mill and a smithy. Here you will learn that the tradition of olive growing actually comes from ancient times when Stari grad Počitelj / Old city Počitelj Romans recognized Herzegovina as a fertile soil for cultivating the eminent Mediterranean elixir. Archeological findings testify to this, especially the remains of ‘doliums’ where Danas je Počitelj jedan od najpoznatijih i najljepših nacional- Today Počitelj is one of the most famous and most beautiful Romans conserved the olive oil.

16 Crkva u Gorici i franjevačka Arheološka zbirka / Church in Gorica and the Franciscan Archaeological Collection

Crkva sv. Stjepana Prvomučenika u Gorici je podignuta na temeljima starohrvatske crkve sagrađene u IX. stoljeću i jed- na je od najstarijih crkava u Hrvata uopće. Podignuta još u IX. stoljeću kada i velik broj starohrvatskih crkava, korištena je, uz manje popravke, sve do prve polovice XVII. stoljeća. Tada je konačno srušena i nikada više nije obnavljana. Tek je pot- kraj pedesetih godina XIX. stoljeća ondašnji župnik fra Petar Bakula na njenim temeljima sagradio potpuno novu crkvu koja je do gradnje najnovije bila župna, a od tada grobljanska crkva. Odmah uz crkvu smještena je Hrvatska franjevačka arheološka zbirka sv. Stjepana Prvomučenika. The churhc of St. Stephen the Martyr in Gorica was built on the foundations of an old Croatian church from the 9th century and it is one of the oldest churches in Croatia in general. 15 It was erected in the 9the century just as a large number of other old Croatian churches and was used, with minor repa- Vinska cesta Hercegovine / The Herzegovina wine road irs, all up until the first half of the 17th century.
