The story of Una National Park

You are in Bosnia and Herzegovina's largest national park, established on 29 May 2008. Its main purpose is to protect the unspoiled Una river and its tributaries, the Krka and the Unac, which run through it. The protected zone covers 198 square kilometres, following the Una along the border with Croatia, and the Unac through its canyon to their meeting point at Martin Brod. Waterfalls and white-water rapids are the highlight.

The best known falls are at Martin Brod, where the Una builds banks and cascades of calcareous sinter and where the International Una Regatta kayaking race begins. Further downstream lies Štrbački Buk, the largest waterfall on the river. The park is also rich in life: 30 species of fish, 130 species of birds, and animals including lynx, fox, wolf, bear and chamois.

People come for rafting, fishing, cycling, hiking and camping. The past is here too, with many archaeological sites, the Roman fort Milančeva Kula and Rmanj Monastery.
