Jablanica Bridge, Historic railway bridge site in Jablanica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Die Brücke in Jablanica is a destroyed railway bridge crossing the Neretva River, dating from World War II. The site includes a museum with artifacts and informational displays that explain the history of the location.
The bridge was destroyed in 1943 during the conflict when partisan forces blew it up to mislead enemy troops about where they would cross. This event was a turning point in the military history of the region.
The museum here displays wartime equipment and documents that show what life was like for soldiers during the conflict. The exhibits reveal how important this location was to the fighters of that time.
Viewing platforms at the site allow you to see the bridge remains clearly. You can combine a visit here with exploring the surrounding Neretva Valley and the lake area nearby.
The bridge destruction scene was recreated in 1969 for a film by building a separate structure to safely film the explosions and smoke effects. This film production brought attention to the location during that era.
