Jablanica Bridge

The destroyed railway bridge spans across the Neretva River, standing as a remnant of the World War II battle that took place in this region.

The bridge gained military importance during the 1943 Battle of Neretva when Partisan forces destroyed it to mislead German troops about their planned crossing point.

The Battle for the Wounded on Neretva River Museum displays wartime artifacts, documents, photographs, and military equipment related to the historic bridge crossing.

Visitors can access viewing platforms near the bridge remains and combine their visit with explorations of the surrounding Neretva Valley and Jablanica Lake.

The bridge destruction scene was recreated for a 1969 Yugoslav film, which required building a separate structure when smoke effects prevented filming at the actual location.
