National Park Una
Una National Park was established in 2008 around the Upper Una River and the Unac River. The Una’s waterfalls and white water rapids highlight the park. The most famous waterfalls are those at Martin Brod, the starting point of the popular “International Una Regatta” kayaking competition, and Štrbački Buk further downstream, the largest waterfall on the river and one of the main features of the Park.
Throughout the park, visitors can enjoy prime conditions for rafting, fishing, cycling, hiking, and camping. Diving from the city bridges in Bihać and Bosanska Krupa is also popular.
Una National Park is also noted for its biodiversity, with 30 fish species, 130 bird species, and other animals, including lynx, fox, wolf, bear and chamois (goat-antelope). The park features a mosaic of habitats, high diversity of plant and animal species, and the presence of relict and endemic species.
In terms of cultural and historical area, this area abounds with a rich heritage of archaeological sites and historical monuments, and the special position of the area on the transit line to the sea led it under the influences of many cultures in the past, from where the rich archaeological sites date, remains of medieval fortresses and religious buildings of different faiths and cultures.
National Park Una is a host to a narrow gauge railroad that is not in general use except for one annual ride – the Rotray Train. The railroad runs in and out of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia and is a popular event. More in this article from news agency Klix (in Bosnian language).
