Dzajici Village

Dzajici Village - hidden gem of Neretva valley

In the old days, just outside of the village, over Neretva river, there was a cable – an improvised bridge, that was used by those smugglers and the villagers to cross the river from one riverbank to the other, but the cable is not there anymore, there are only stories about the bravery of the people that through smuggling of tobacco managed to survive and feed their families. Nearby the place where the cable stood, in the center of the village, there are couple of stecci, a medieval tombstones, that are witnesses of the history of the area, and stand proudly despite all the troubles.

Maybe the greatest attraction of the village is Dzajica buk, a small rocky part of the river, almost a small waterfall, that was named by the village, or the village was named by the buk, or both were named by the people of the village, that are called Dzajici. You’ll have to learn that from the villagers, that will gladly and proudly tell you their history. Dzajica buk is the most difficult part of the Neretva river and the last one that needs to be passed to your final destination. River is very clean in the village and great beach is located just outside of it. This beach is preferred by the citizens that enjoy swimming and foreigners that can’t resist the cold water in the hot summer days. Just 5 minutes away from the village you can find a small waterfall called Crni vir, that is also a great place for swimming and hiding from the hot Herzegovinian sun.
