Troubled Emerald Rivers

In the abundance of natural wealth of Bosnia & Herzegovina, one thing stands out: the water. The water is everywhere: from tiny streams to big, strong and self-confident rivers, lakes and waterfalls. Many rivers in Bosnia & Herzegovina are still pristine clean with turquoise and emerald colors, with whitewater rapids that offer prime conditions for kayaking, boating, fishing and other watersports and activities. There are seven major rivers in Bosnia & Herzegovina, each of which offer spectacular views and unforgettable experiences:

• The Una in the northwest part of Bosnia. It is a very beautiful river and popular for rafting and adventure sports

• The Sana river is a tributary of the river Una in the north

• The Vrbas river reaches the river Sava in the north. The Vrbas flows through the central part of Bosnia and flows outwards to the North

• The River Bosna is the longest river in Bosnia and is fully contained within the country as it stretches from its source near Sarajevo to the river Sava in the north. It gave its name to the country.

• The Drina flows through the eastern part of Bosnia, formed by the confluence of the Tara and the Piva rivers.

• The Neretva river is a large river in Central and Southern Bosnia. The river is famous as it flows through the famous city of Mostar.

• The Sava river is the largest river in Bosnia and Herzegovina but not the largest river that is flowing through Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sava forms a natural border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia
