FORT DE MERDŽAN GLAVA
Small ruined Austro-Hungarian fort dating from 1886 at 802 m altitude. Beautiful views of Mostar and Mount Velež.
This small Austro-Hungarian fort (Tvrđava Merdžan Glava) is in ruins, but offers fine views of Mostar and Mount Velež. Surrounded by wind turbines, it stands 802 m above sea level at the entrance to the plateau, slightly off the road between Podvelež (6 km to the southeast) and the Fortica zip line (7 km to the northwest). Erected in 1886, the building was part of a network of 34 forts surrounding Mostar. Built of ashlar and fitted with an Italian bunker in 1941, it served as an observation and artillery post for the Bosnian-Serbs during the last war.
