At the Edge, At the Borderquality label

“Every place is America, but not here on our stony ground, where them birds fly, where our sun shines, where the nightingales and crows call, where the smell of heather fills the air, and the moonlight falls on our land. Everywhere else, you feel dizzy, but here, your head’s clear. Everywhere else, you stagger like a drunkard, but here, here you live, Matan.” (I. Raos)

Imotski, a small Dalmatian town perched on the edge of the 220-meter-deep (722-foot-deep) Blue Lake sinkhole, on the very border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a place where history intertwines with legend.

Join us on a walk from the main town square to the historic Topana Fortress. Hear stories of brave and imaginative people who lived and left their mark on this unique place.

Discover why Imotski chose to honor the renowned poet Tin Ujević with his first statue and why the BBC ranked Imotski’s football stadium among the most fascinating in the world. Hear the story of how the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina was drawn more than 300 years ago. Learn about the surprising connection between Imotski and Hajduk, the most popular football club in Dalmatia.
