🏨 Where to stay
Simple guesthouses and riverside camps mainly serve rafting groups.
⚠️ Tips & warnings
The Kostela section suits families and rafting beginners; Štrbački Buk is for experienced adventurers only, not beginners.
📍 On the ground
Getting around: No active nearby airport — reached by rental car or bus from Sarajevo (~3.5–4 hrs) or as a crossover trip from Croatia. The town center is small and walkable, but the rafting launch points (the calmer Kostela section, and the tougher Štrbački Buk section with its 24-metre waterfall) require organized transport.
Halal & prayer places: Fair but not well-documented — a Muslim-majority town with a mosque converted from an old church in the center, and local riverside restaurants serve Bosnian dishes halal by default; there's no precise data on internationally declared halal restaurants, so ask directly.
Local safety: Same as country →
Cost figures: 2026 prices: rafting the calmer Kostela section roughly €35, the tougher Štrbački Buk section roughly €55, a casual riverside meal 15–20 KM.
