Jablanica Bridge (Battle of the Neretva)
Most u Jablanici
The wrecked railway bridge from the Battle of the Neretva in 1943. A memorial museum stands beside it, and many travelers stop here on the road to Sarajevo.
During the Battle of the Neretva in 1943, Tito's partisans blew up the railway bridge at Jablanica to mislead German forces and cover the retreat of several thousand wounded fighters. In 1969, the film *The Battle of Neretva* blew up the bridge again for filming, and its wreckage still leans into the river today. The Battle of Neretva Museum beside the bridge displays weapons, photographs, and film materials. Admission costs a few marks. The bridge lies along the M17 road from Mostar to Sarajevo, about 50 km away. On the way, you can stop to see the Neretva canyon and the lake, and the town is known for its grilled lamb.
