Blagaj is a small town south of Mostar, situated at the spring of the Buna river—which itself is one of the finest examples of underground karstic springs, and largest such spring in Europe. At the river’s spring, built into the cliffs is a Blagaj Tekke—a Sufi monastery—which was built sometime in the 1600s. It is currently under renovation and repair and closed to public, however one can hire a guide and venture into the cave by the Tekke, to check out Buna’s source and see the Tekke up-close. The cliff that towers over the spring and the Tekke has a breathtakingly powerful and dwarfing presence, and my standard lens does not do justice in capturing its magnificence.
