This cycling route, 28.2 km long, includes a network of local and gravel roads that connect World War II monuments. The war claimed many victims, leaving behind the desolation of the civilized, cultural and sacred part of life. At that time, 66 Franciscans, whom the people call the "Herzegovinian Franciscan Martyrs", were killed, along with many other innocent victims. Široki Brijeg is the focus of the Memorial Center, a spiritual and cultural center with a large Ethnographic Museum and a library dedicated to the Herzegovinian Franciscan martyrs, which is the starting point of this route, and ends at Bilim, where there is a large cemetery complex and the Memorial Center. This route actually pays tribute to all the victims.
