The tour that opens and closes the season in Herzegovina. Although many might not agree with us, because it is really a bit silly to close or open the season in a region that is suitable for cycling throughout the year. But it's a matter of tradition, and that's another excuse to socialize and ride with the cycling clubs that exist in the territory of Herzegovina.
The tour is circular in shape with the start and finish in Mostar, and it is driven over Raška Gora to Goranici, followed by an asphalted descent to Mostar.
Note: There is no bicycle signaling on the track
Raška Gora is a populated place in the municipality of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Raška Gora is located along the Neretva canyon and extends over the area between the Čabulje mountain and the Neretva river. It borders the settlements: Vrdi, Goranci, Bučići and Đubrani, which were once part of Raška Gora themselves. It covers a relatively large area and consists of several hamlets: Domazeti, Sirge, Podivačje, Željetuša, Trolokva, Vukovina, Prikoje, Vituša, Kruševica, Veliki Dolac, Vezovići, Plužni Dolac, Povina and Orašine.
The very fact that there are 8 Catholic and 2 Orthodox cemeteries and 2 churches in Raška Gora speaks of how much area it occupies.
Goranci at 700 meters above sea level, 12 kilometers northwest of Mostar, they form a unique natural oasis that provides peace and satisfaction to all who visit this natural pearl of an untouched and beautiful landscape.
