Hum Hill Cross
Križ na Humu
A giant cross on the summit of Hum Hill south of the city, overlooking all of Mostar and the Neretva valley. It is a popular sunset viewpoint.
Hum Hill rises about 430 meters southwest of the city center. During the war it was a firing position used to shell the old town. In 2000 a cross roughly 33 meters tall was erected on the summit. It is lit up at night and visible from across the city. The summit offers an excellent view of the old town, the Old Bridge and both banks of the river valley. You can take a taxi or drive up the winding mountain road, or hike up from the south of the city in about 1 to 1.5 hours. The top has almost no shade, so avoid the midday sun in summer and bring water. The cross carries religious and political symbolism, so mind your words and behavior during your visit.
