Una National Park: choosing waterfalls and the right access

Plan the Una around time by the river, not just a photograph. Choose the area you intend to visit and then your base before booking accommodation or an activity.

Understand the place

The national park protects river and waterfall landscapes, including sites such as Štrbački buk and Martin Brod. Bihać and the park’s different access points are not one arrival location. Check with the operator for entrances and facilities that are actually open. [1][2]

Our suggested visit

We suggest one area per day rather than every waterfall. Allow time to reach the chosen entrance, follow marked visitor routes and return. Accommodation that fits this outing can be more useful than an attractive property far from the access you need.

Access and pace

For a water activity, ask the provider about conditions, equipment and participation restrictions. Park admission does not automatically include a rafting trip. Recheck access and activity conditions after significant bad weather.

Accommodation and getting around

Our Bihać guide can help with a separate urban base. For a rental car, check the exact road and rental conditions before any unpaved section. A departure from Sarajevo does not imply a short excursion: verify how much of the day is spent travelling.

Before you leave

This guide does not fix opening times or prices. Consult the park before leaving, keep spare time in the itinerary and stay on authorised access routes. None of the linked services guarantees entry or a place on an activity.
