Vranci, Municipality of Kreševo
Located approximately twenty meters away from the Roman Bridge in Vranci, there exists a structure known as ta’te, also referred to as Turkish planks, or alternatively, a belfry. The aforementioned refers to a structural configuration consisting of a pair of beams, a roof, and two metallic plates, which serve the purpose of facilitating the ringing of a bell, albeit the absence of the latter. Specifically, the Ottoman Empire prohibited the use of bells in this region until their departure. In 1872, a belfry was constructed adjacent to the Kreševo monastery church. As a result, the residents constructed ta’ta, which function as a substitute for the church bell when they are sounded in rotation.
The Kreševo tradition of shoeing eggs. – There are various legends about the origins of this custom. According to one story, a poor young guy fell in love with a girl from a wealthy family, and the condition for proposing to her was that he shoe an egg, which seemed impossible. The young man fell in love and learnt to shoe an egg, and according to mythology, no young man could marry until he learned to shoe an egg.
Not far from the village of Vranci lies the best motocross trail in the region, located near Gajice. There are numerous motocross events staged here that are scored towards the BiH championships as well as the European Motocross Championships.
