Trebinje - Republika Srpska

 

The city lies in the Trebišnjica river valley, at the foot of Leotar, in southeastern Herzegovina, some 30 km (19 mi) by road from Dubrovnik, Croatia, on the Adriatic coast.

There are several mills along the river, as well as several bridges, including three in the city of Trebinje itself, as well as historic Ottoman Arslanagic bridge nearby.

The river is heavily exploited for hydro-electric energy. After it passes through the Popovo Polje area southwest of the city, the river - which always floods in the winter - naturally runs underground to the Adriatic, near Dubrovnik.

For Trebinje is said that it is "the city of the sun and platan trees", and it is one of the most beautiful cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city is economic and cultural center of the region of Eastern Herzegovina.
