Chapter 9 · The Journal
Cold turquoise water, rosehip red against September green, meadowsweet at the canyon edge. Reserve six nights on the Una in the northwest — a riverside house where the river is the whole day.
Rosa canina · Filipendula ulmaria
On the water
A house on the Una near Bihać, the Štrbački buk falls and the old river towns close by.
The table
River trout and rosehip, meadowsweet from the banks.
The last leg
The route turns southeast for the old-growth silence of Sutjeska.
A parting gift
You leave with rosehip syrup, gathered red against the September green, chosen for you by your hosts.
