Bihać & the Una — the River

Bihać & UnaLate August–September6 nights
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.

  1. On the water

    A house on the Una near Bihać, the Štrbački buk falls and the old river towns close by.

  2. The table

    River trout and rosehip, meadowsweet from the banks.

  3. 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.
