What the area offers

• Opačica waterfall (Potkom): an intermittent waterfall about 150 m high (the waterfall page says "over 150"). The Opačica flows only when natural conditions allow, so the waterfall does not run all the time. The portal says it is active in winter and can then turn into an ice formation. Check before you travel. Ratkovača cave is beside the waterfall.
• Baba stećci necropolis (Bitunja): 24 stećci (medieval tombstones), 11 of them decorated. Declared a national monument of BiH in 2006. Two Illyrian burial mounds are close by. The portal also offers a digital map of the municipality's stećci.
• Trusina viewpoint: view over Dabarsko and Fatničko fields, in the immediate vicinity of the Nevesinje-Berkovići road. A paragliding launch site is nearby. The portal gives no information on access or parking.
• "Kulje Eko" dairy, Donja Trusina: cheese from raw full-fat milk from its own farm, which per the portal produces organic milk (autochthonous buša and Gatačka buša breeds), aged from three months to a year. No organic certificate was checked. The page gives no information on visits or tastings, so ask directly.
• Lovački dom Berkovići: rooms with air conditioning, TV and internet, a yard cottage for barbecues. Bookings: Boris Ivelja, president of the hunting association "Prepelica", 066/913-700.
• Roštiljnica "Branka", Poginulih boraca otadžbinskog rata bb: grilled meat and meals for families and friends, open since 6 October 2021, phone 064/412-0383. Group capacity is not stated, so ask directly.

The portal also lists other sights and a "Dabarski specijaliteti" section, which this overview does not cover.

What to do

1. If you run a farm, accommodation or processed food and want to appear on the tourism portal or in group offers, ask the Centar za promociju održivog razvoja Berkovići whether it takes in new providers. The portal names it as a contact, which does not mean it is responsible for listings.
2. Before agreeing anything with a travel agency, confirm availability and visit terms with the contact, since the portal lists no opening hours or prices.
3. For business registration, permits and subsidies, contact the municipal Department of Finance, Economy, Development Management and Social Affairs (Odjeljenje za finansije, privredu, upravljanje razvojem i društvene djelatnosti; ask for the officer for entrepreneurship, economy and agriculture), then the competent institutions covered in other Knowledge Hub articles.
