🏞️ Past Konjic's old stone bridge and the broken WWII railway bridge at Jablanica
📍 Mostar: about 1 h 55 to 2 h, arriving 09:12 and 18:50
🔁 Back from Mostar: 06:33 and 17:09
Take the morning train down and the 17:09 back, and you get a whole day in Mostar. Sit on the left heading south for the river.
The fare is 14.10 KM in second class, with 20% off a return, and you can book online at zfbh.ba from 2 weeks ahead. In summer the line ran on to the sea at Ploče on weekends, but no winter service has been published, so check before you plan on the Adriatic.
