The Neretva River does not flow only in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also in Croatia. The estuary of the Neretva River is in Croatia (Ploce)! And Metkovic and Opuzen are some of the major Croatian cities on the Neretva River. For more information, please browse the net for the Dubrovnik-Neretva County in Croatia ;-)
o as to preserve the significance and history of the ladje, in 1998 the very first race involving these relics from the past was organized from Metkovic to Ploce. It so captured the imagination of the locals that with each year a new record number of entries is received. As for the old half-ruined ladje lying peacefully in the rivers, they were awaken from their slumber and repaired to live another day in the following year's race
Ladje (vessels) were used by the old Neretva pirates of yesteryear, who terrorised these parts in the 10th century. With the modernization of life, ladje have almost become technologically redundant, and as a result became a relic. In many cases they could be found ruined and 'shipwrecked', half submerged in various parts of the many tributaries.
Vessel Marathon (Maraton ladja) is an amateur, sporting competition which involves the racing of ladje (vessels native to the Lower Neretva River which flows throughthe Republic of Croatia). It is held annually on the second Saturday in August, on a course 22.5 km long, under the direct patronage of the President of the Republic of Croatia.
Excelent music choice for the video, bravo majstore :)
