Via Narenta

Via Narenta, sometimes also Via Bosna or neretvanski put, was a medieval trade route through the Dinaric Alps that connected Dubrovnik (Republic of Ragusa) through the Neretva river valley with the Bosna river valley, and from there to various places in medieval Bosnia and the rest of the Balkans.

The route went through Drijeva (an intersection near today's Gabela), following the river^[1] up to Prenj and Konjic, where it turned northward to Visoko.

It was one of the two main routes from Bosnia to Dubrovnik;^[2] the other was Via Drine that reached the Drina.^[1]
