Site description (2018 baseline)
Vukovsko-Ravanjsko polje is a complex of two adjoining poljes – Vukovsko on the Northern and Ravanjsko on the Southern side.
These poljes are mostly dry and are part of Neretva river basin.
Ravanjsko polje is especially dry and is one of the highest in the Dinarides concerning its elevation. Through Ravanjska vrata from Vukovsko polje a river Vođenica flows and sinks underground in the end of Vukovsko polje.
Vukovsko-Ravanjsko poljes are surrounded by mountains of Ravašnica, Ljubuša and Paklina, to the North of Tomislavgrad and better known Duvanjsko polje. It is 7,5 km long and stretches in NW-SE direction like most of other poljes of this region.
