Bihać

The emerald Una River and the whitewater rafting hub of northwest Bosnia

A city of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Full guideLast updated: 14/07/2026

🗓️ Best time to visit

June–September for the clearest water and active rafting; winter is cold and unsuited to river activities.

📸 Top activities & landmarks

  • Una River rafting and kayaking
  • Una National Park
  • The Štrbački Buk waterfall (24 metres)
  • The old town center and riverside park

🏨 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.

⏱️ How many days?

1-2 days

Suggested plan:

  1. Rafting the calmer Kostela section
  2. The old town/riverside park or the Štrbački Buk waterfall
