Neretva, Mostar and the Bosnian heartland
Twelve days from Sarajevo through Jajce waterfall and castle light, Travnik fortress hills, UNESCO Mostar and the Old Bridge, Blagaj tekke at the Buna spring, stone Počitelj, Trebinje wine-town hush, Sutjeska canyon and Perućica forest pull-offs, then Neretva canyon viewpoints near Konjic before a soft return to the capital. ECS and local operators where present, Tesla Destination or hotel wallbox when you can book; the network is thinner in the mountains and along the southern loop — cool battery, daylight legs, unhurried river and stone-town rhythm.
Season: Best May to October. Mountain and Herzegovina weather shifts fast; book overnight ECS, Tesla Destination or hotel wallbox in Sarajevo, Mostar, Trebinje and Konjic when you can. Charge before Sutjeska and Neretva canyon hops — cool battery, daylight departure; the network is thinner inland and on the southern loop.
