Mostar
Via Ferrata Podružje — Ilirski Put (Mostar)
An unusual via ferrata that follows the Podružje canyon above Mostar, at points running right along the riverbed itself. One of the easier routes in the region and a good choice for a first via ferrata, but best avoided after heavy rain, when the canyon can flood.

Who it suits
Is this tour right for you?
✕Not ideal for
Anyone visiting after heavy rainfall, when the canyon can flood. People with a severe fear of heights or limited mobility on uneven ground.
◇Guide advice
Bring gloves, since sections of the cable run close to the water. Check recent weather with your guide — the route is not recommended after heavy rain. Allow a half day: the approach, climb and return together take several hours.
Route and terrain
The line is indicative. Your guide confirms the live route after weather, access and terrain checks.
