The bridge is 27 meters high. It is said that in ancient times, men would jump from the top of the bridge to prove their courage and please the most beautiful girl in town. When I went, I happened to be in time for the annual diving competition here. The champion has won twelve consecutive victories. If it is bigger than someone who falls into the water, I can fight him! After driving out of Mostar, I drove along the mountain road into the hinterland of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was attracted by a plain surrounded by mountains. The beauty was breathtaking.

The Old Bridge of Mostar is a landmark of Mostar, recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage... The most famous ancient bridge in Mostar is the bridge jumping. No matter the weather, people will jump off the bridge like diving. Every year there is a special bridge jumping competition... But be careful, there may be people who are dressed like a tour guide near the bridge asking you for money for various reasons. First, take a look at a document that you don’t know, and then take a photo of the child and say it’s his child. , Ask if you want to go and see, anyway, I want you to pay him, this should be paid attention to...

Mostar Old Bridge was built by the Ottoman Empire in 1557 to replace the wooden bridge at that time with stones. It took nine years to complete the length of 28 meters and the height of 20 meters. At the time, it was the widest in the world. The bridge was broken during the Bosnian War (1993), and it has been continuously repaired. A 1993 monument was placed at the end of the bridge, which is of historical significance~

The iconic building of the ancient city of Mostar was destroyed in the war and then rebuilt. If you want to see the bridge jumping performance, you have to go at noon and afternoon when there is a lot of people. There will be people on and under the bridge. Tourists ask for a tip. I will give 2 marks. If you want to take pictures when there are few people, you have to get up early to take pictures.

According to the tour guide, the bridge was built in 2004. There was no fence on the bridge, so children often fall off, but the children here can swim. Later, because a child had an accident, his mother funded the fence.
