Sažetak: Prvo što turisti primjećuju u pejzažu Istočne Hercegovine jesu zatalasan reljef i stari fortifikacijski objekti nanizani po vrhovima humova i brda i grupisani u odbrambene linije. Predmet ovoga rada su upravo te fortifikacije iz doba austrougarske okupacije i aneksije s kraja XIX i početka XX vijeka, odnosno preciznije iz perioda između Berlinskog kongresa i Prvog svjetskog rata. One privlače poglede stanovništva i putnika u tranzitu, ali nemaju kapacitete da ih prime i zadrže kao goste. Ovi nekada moćni vojni objekti danas čine zanimljiv, ali neiskorišćen i nezaštićen potencijal za razvoj kulturno-saznajnog vojnog turizma u kombinaciji sa nekim pratećim vrstama turizma. Cilj ovoga rada jeste da ukaže na raznovrsne, ali neiskorišćene potencijale za razvoj kulturnog vojnog (militarnog) turizma kao vrste kulturnog turizma, u kombinaciji sa komplementarnim vrstama turizma, kao što su ekoturizam, sportski turizam i slično. Uređenje tih objekata za turističku ponudu zahtijevalo bi značajna ulaganja, ali bi njihova turistička valorizacija, kao što je to slučaj u nekim evropskim zemljama, značila novi kvalitet u lepezi turističke ponude Istočne Hercegovine.
Ključne riječi: Hercegovina, austrougarske fortifikacije, militarni kulturni turizam, Trebinje, Bileća.

Abstract: The first elements that tourists notice in the landscape of Eastern Herzegovina are the undulating relief and the old fortification structures positioned along the summits of hills and ridges and organized into defensive lines. The subject of this paper is precisely these fortifications from the period of Austro-Hungarian occupation and annexation at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, more specifically the period between the Congress of Berlin and the First World War. While they attract the attention of local inhabitants and transit travelers, these structures currently lack the capacity to accommodate and retain visitors. Once powerful military facilities, they today represent an interesting yet underutilized and unprotected potential for the development of cultural-educational military tourism, in combination with complementary forms of tourism. The aim of this paper is to highlight the diverse but insufficiently exploited potentials for the development of cultural military (military heritage) tourism as a specific form of cultural tourism, integrated with complementary tourism forms such as ecotourism, sports tourism, and related activities. The adaptation of these structures for tourism purposes would require significant investment; however, if they were successfully valorized, as is the case in several European countries, this would introduce a new qualitative dimension to the tourism offer of Eastern Herzegovina.
