Una National Park, National park near Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Una National Park is a nature reserve near Bihać with turquoise rivers, steep rocky walls, and dense forests. The landscape is shaped by the Una River and its tributaries, which flow through canyons and create several waterfalls.
The area received protected status in 2008 to safeguard the valuable river and forest systems. Before this, the regions around the Una had been inhabited for centuries, marked by fortresses and monasteries that still stand today.
The park contains several religious sites that blend into the landscape, including an old monastery and a fortress that sit quietly among the woods and water.
The best time to visit is between spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and the trails are dry. The park is easy to reach from Bihać, and visitors find walking routes of varying difficulty along the rivers.
Štrbački Buk is a dramatic waterfall with multiple steps that flows over limestone rocks, creating one of the park's most striking natural features. This cascading formation is created by mineral-rich water that continuously builds new layers.
