The last delta of Europe – richness at the Neretva estuary In addition to the beautiful islands, mountains, karst and fertile hinterland, Dalmatia is proud of the latest Delta of Europe – Neretva river mouth. The delta of the Neretva River, from Metković to the estuary on the north and northeast, is bordered by branches of the Dinaric Alps, and to the south by hills. To the west it is open to the sea and is under its constant influence. Precisely this brackish water is the right place for the growth of vegetation and fish fund. The wildlife is also diversified here – the last species of birds, which couldn’t be seen anywhere else in Europe, made their nests in this marsh area. Climatic influences are very suitable for agriculture, for the famous Neretva tangerines and other citrus fruits, among which in the past years clementines have become increasingly popular, whereas at the beginning of the summer, it is all about peaches and nectarines. Precisely picking these cultures for years also represents a type of tourism that Neretvians have arranged for their guests. We must not forget hunting and fishing, which also brought many at the Neretva river delta… and after hunting and eels fishing, you can try preparing these delicacies, typical for this region. In addition to these activities, even if you are not the athletic type, you will surely enjoy the photo safari through the backwaters of the river. A ride in the Neretva boat (you can paddle on your own, or choose a motor drive) through the vast backwaters, tributaries and lakes, finalized with occasional lunch at one of the many ranches (with an outdoor barbecue and homemade bread), will make one of the best memories. The Neretva River delta is a natural phenomenon, and a must-see! Photo and text: TZ Metkovića

Neretva Posljednja delta Europe – bogastvo na ušću Neretve Osim prekrasnim otocima, planinama, kršem i plodnim poljima Zagore, Dalmacija se diči i posljednjom deltom Europe – ušćem Neretve. Sama delta Neretve od Metkovića do ušća sa sjevera i sjeveroistoka omeđena je ograncima dinarskih planina, a s juga brdima. Na zapadu je otvorena moru i nalazi se pod njegovim stalnim utjecajem. Upravo ta boćata voda pravo je mjesto za bujanje vegetacije, ali i ribljeg fonda. I životinjski svijet ondje je raznolik – posljednje vrste ptica, koje se nije imalo priliku više nigdje u Europi sresti, svijale su svoja gnijezda na ovom močvarnom području. Klimatski utjecaji itekako su pogodni za poljoprivredu, za nadaleko poznate neretvanske mandarine i druge agrume, među kojima se minulih godina izdvajaju klementine, dok se početkom ljeta sve vrti oko bresaka i nektarini. Upravo berba ovih kultura već godinama je i vid turizma koji Neretljani organiziraju za svoje goste. No, ne smijemo zaboraviti ni na lov i ribolov koji također dovode mnoge u deltu Neretve…a nakon ribolova i lova jegulja, možete se okušati i u spravljanju te delicije, tipične za ovo područje. Uz ove aktivnosti, čak i ako niste baš sportski tip, zasigurno će vas oduševiti foto-safari po rukavcima rijeke. Vožnja u neretvanskoj lađi (možete i sami veslati, ili pak izabrati motorni pogon) tim nepreglednim riječnim rukavcima, pritocima i jezerima, koja se okonča i prigodnim ručkom na jednom od brojnih rančeva (uz otvoreni roštilj i domaći kruh), svakako će vam ostati urezana u pamćenje. Prirodni je fenomen ta delta Neretve, kojeg jednostavno morate vidjeti! Foto i tekst: TZ grada Metkovića
