Adventure

Bosnia and Herzegovina's countryside and mountain areas with ample forests, rivers and lakes offer endless and extraordinary opportunities for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Along with skiing throughout the country in winter, outdoor activities include hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, kayaking and more extreme activities like alpine climbing and paragliding.

There are several tour companies and private guides offering daily trips or longer tours. Accommodation is usually in mountain huts, motels or with locals.

Hiking and mountaineering around remote villages and through rich forests and rugged alpine peaks are very popular. Visitors encounter the traditional lifestyle of places such as Lukomir, and rich flora and fauna of Perucica, one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe. Paragliding is possible from the Visocica Peak over the Rakitnica canyon, and the highland plateau of Prenj, also known as the Himalaya of Herzegovina, is exceptionally suited for mountain biking.

Rafting on Una and Neretva is a huge attraction. The "Una regatta" on the Una river in the north-west region of Bosnia attracts more than 500 participants every year from neighbouring countries but also from the rest of Europe and the States.

Neretva is the emerald gem of Herzegovina, flowing over 60 miles from its source into the Adriatic Sea.

In the upper canyon, you'll find some of the most beautiful rafting in Europe.

Expect deep canyon walls, endemic flora and fauna, and a wild and pristine ambiance that only Neretva can provide.

Fly fishing on springs and rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a great experience for all passionate fans of this sport. There are several beautiful fly fishing rivers in the north-west region of the country - Pliva, Una, Unac, Klokot, Ribnik and Sanica. Pliva is one of the most beautiful fly fishing rivers in Europe. All rivers are very rich in wild brown and rainbow trout and trophy grayling.
