Cycling promotion association “Herzegovina Bike” realizes the project of making cycling routes through Herzegovina, as a part of its Association aims which are popularization of cycling as a sport and as a means of transport as well, which can connect Herzegovina tourist capacities through sports and recreation cycling, i.e. cyclotourism.
Herzegovina is one of the most beautiful regions in this part of Europe which keeps its authentic spirit being at the same mountainous, flat, coastal and continental. On relatively small area we can find a lot of relief and geological forms, landscapes, variety of flora and fauna and unique historical and cultural monuments.

This site represents travel and hospitality-catering facilities of Herzegovina, information about environment through which cycling routes pass (history, culture and specifics of the region and tourist attractions) picture galleries and video clips which would represent natural and cultural resources of Herzegovina.
