Bijeli Vir is situated in the fertile Neretva hinterland, surrounded by karst rocks and wetlands. The village serves as an authentic example of life in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, far from mass tourism. Residents traditionally dedicate themselves to agriculture, particularly the cultivation of citrus fruits and vegetables. Visitors appreciate the proximity to Lake Kuti, a protected biotope accessible only by the traditional 'trupica' boats. Rare bird species can be observed here, making the location attractive for ornithologists. The local flora is characterized by dense reed beds and water lilies, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. Numerous cycling paths lead through the fields and along the water channels in the surrounding area. Gastronomy is based on local specialties such as eels and frogs, prepared according to traditional recipes. It is a convenient starting point for trips to Metković or the archaeological sites of Narona in Vid.
