Many visitors enjoy the natural beauty of the Una basin, while rafting on the Una is an unforgettable experience.
The Una is a river in the northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which forms a smaller part of the western border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. According to some assumptions, the name of the river Una comes from the Latin word uno, which means one or the only one.
Una rises in the village of Donja Suvaja in Croatia and flows through Martin Brod, Kulen Vakuf, Ripač, Bihać, Bosanska Krupa, Bosanska Otok, Novi Grad, Kostajnica, Hrvatska Kostajnica, Kozarska Dubica and Jasenovac. It flows into the Sava near Jasenovac. Its main tributaries are Sana, Unac, Krušnica and Klokot.
The total length of this river, which belongs to the Black Sea basin, is about 212 kilometers. The area of its basin is 10,400 square kilometers. Not far from Bosanska Otoka, a fairly large boat was found hollowed out in the trunk. According to archaeologist Branka Raunig from Bihac’s Pounja Regional Museum, it served to transport goods and people.
Today, Una is part of the great treasure of the natural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a place of rich tourist traffic and the holding of the international sports and tourism manifestation Una-Regatta.
More than 170 different types of medicinal plants grow in Una, such as the rare plant Campanula unensis, and about 28 types of fish, including grayling, trout and bream.

The Una River is treated as an indispensable member of the family and an attraction whose beauty is admired by thousands of people from many countries every year.
