Established in 2008, Una National Park is located near the town of Bihać, close to the border with Croatia. It covers over 19,000 hectares of pristine nature – featuring turquoise rivers, dramatic waterfalls, dense forests, and cultural heritage sites. The park gets its name from the Una River, often called the most beautiful river in the Balkans.
What makes this park truly unique is how untouched and wild it feels. It’s perfect for nature lovers, families, hikers, photographers, and even thrill-seekers.
