Blagaj is a small village about 12 km (~7.5 miles) from Mostar and is another UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located at a spring that feeds in to the Buna River.
I was told it is one of the top 5 European springs. The spring movers 4,300 liters (+1,100 gallons) per second.
What's cool is that the cold, clear water flows from a cave in the Hum gorge.
Beside the spring and the cave is a Tekija - a Dervish monastery. The Muslim sect is known for their extreme poverty and austerity. The monastery was built by a Sultan in 1520. Unfortunately, it was closed for renovations.
