KNOW MORE ABOUT IMOTSKA KRAJINA:
Imotski region is a historical name for the area located in the hinterland of the Biokovo massif. In the past, the Imotski region included the peripheral part of BiH, and the existing demarcation was created by the Peace of Požarevac, which ended the conflicts between the Venetian Republic and the Ottoman Empire in the Second Sea War of 1714-1718.
The fertile Imotski field plays a key role in the life of this area. Between its almost flat surface and the mountain massif of Biokovo (1762 m), there is a vast karst area where rows of hills and coves alternate. The field and karst area in its immediate vicinity is rich in water. The Vrljika River flows along the entire field, and in its northwestern part, in the cold part of the year, a floodplain is created - Prološko blato. Thanks to them, the field has excellent conditions for agriculture. In the karst area north of the field there are some karst lakes for which the Imotski region is widely known.
