One of the most beautiful contributions of the Herceg Ethno village is the valuable ethnographic collection, which provides quite an insight into ancient life in Herzegovina. In addition, the village has an amphitheatre. The next stop is the beautiful chapel located in the centre of the village. It is symbolic of the faith maintained by this population, who never fail to say the Rosary through tough times and happier ones.

After lunch there will be a chance for wine shopping. Herzegovina has always been a wine-growing land, and in honour of its ancestors, the Herceg village built vineyards and grew indigenous varieties of Zilavka and Blatina grapes. This is your chance to take some of the best Herzegovina wines back home with you.
