The architectural ensemble of the Blagaj Tekke (a Sufi lodge) stands by the source of the Buna river, not far from the centre of Blagaj. The musafirhana (guest house) and türbe (mausoleum) are tucked into the natural surroundings, constituting a single entity with the cliffs, source of the Buna river and mills. The musafirhana of the Blagaj tekke and the türbe have been preserved to this day. The musafirhana was built before 1664, and rebuilt in 1851 - its original appearance is not known. The building was subsequently repaired on several occasions. The ensemble of the Blagaj Tekke was presumably built very soon after Ottoman rule was established in Herzegovina, around 1520 at the latest.

Wonderful little area to visit while in Bosnia. It's a short walk, you can either pay a small fee and visit the inside of the monastery or you can walk up a short path on the opposite side and see a beautiful view, very shaded area. I didn't visit the cafes, but there are lovely places to enjoy a meal or refreshments while admiring the beautiful view. We were able to park nearby for about 2 marks. There are vendors on the walk towards the monastery. It's a nice stop if you're in the area.

This is a perfect stop for lunch a few miles away from Mostar. Parking is a bit of trouble or you have to be ready for a walk. Once on the site you can take a boat tour or just walk the surroundings and take in the beauty if the place. Have lunch in one of the spots next to the river.

A must see if you are in Mostar area. Beautiful setting of river and Rocky Mountain, Dervish House is nested in a secluded corner. It’s surrounded by nice restaurants by the river.

We were lucky to get a parking nearest to the allowed walking area to reach the monastery. We decided not to enter as there was a large crowd waiting for admission. Blagaj is, in my opinion too touristic to my liking. the eateries along the river were full of people. The place is quite picturesque though. We ended up taking photos of the Dervish House from the outside, from other side of the river.

Amazing place! I recommend you visit the caves and learn about it! The guy who took us under the cave shared amazing facts about this beautiful mountain and water. The water is so fresh and so cold! 8 degrees all year around!

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
