Nevesinje



High mountains and a field with karst landscape surround Nevesinje. This area is placed in the southea­stern part of BiH. The complete co­unty belongs to the mountain area with an average altitude of 860 me­ters. The area has plenty of forests that are situated in the mountains Velež, Sniježnica, Crna Gora, Cr­vanj and Zelengora. 

This location can be characterized by a large field with karst landscape that occupies about 18 000 acres. the climate is continental, with long and cold win­ters and short summers. The town Nevesinje is placed underneath the mountain Velež, at the approxima­te altitude of 899 meters above sea level. Nevesinje is mentioned for the first time in the historic litera­ture in the 12th century, as a center of a parish that has the same name.
The residence of the parish of Ne­vesinje and the capital was Vjenčac, that has later become the residence of the prince. The town was placed above the today’s settlement. It was called Knežac, Knežak or Grad. The remains of that military fortress and the town walls at visible even today. During the first decades of the 14th century, Nevesinje has been under the rule of the Sanković family.
At that time the Sanković family had been very powerful and took part in the gathering of famous rich pe­ople of that time. They were the representatives of the land of Hum (Humska zemlja). This order of the landlords of Nevesinje and Zagor­je was very politically active in the medieval Bosnian country. There are many old tomb stones like steć­ci in the area of Nevesinje.
There is an old barrow with 452 tombstones in the area of Krekovi. Nevesinje had a tempestuous past during the Ottoman rule. Even in the second part of the 19th century, there were a couple of revolts. The fact that this area has plenty of woods is probably one of the most important charac­teristics of this terrain.
Over 6000 acres are covered with woods. The wood is mostly used in the wood processing industry. The mountain pasture Morine occupies the surface of over 2040 acres, and it is an ideal area for farming and cattlery.
