ABOUT THIS ROUTE

The route in detail

This section begins in the Štrbački Buk area of Una National Park and continues downstream towards Loskun. It is the Una’s headline white-water experience: a short but concentrated descent through powerful current, rapids and the protected river landscape south of Bihać.

The route must only be undertaken with a qualified or licensed rafting operator. The operator determines the exact meeting point, launch, take-out and runnable section according to current water level, park access, weather and participant suitability. The Atlas marker identifies Una National Park as the general access area and is not a launch-point navigation marker. Conditions can change significantly between high spring water and the lower summer season. Time on the river, difficulty and the runnable section all vary with water level and operator decisions.

PLAN RESPONSIBLY

Season & safety

Seasonal conditions

Operator-dependent; water level, weather and national-park access determine whether the section runs.

Key hazards

  • Powerful current, concentrated rapids, rocks and possible immersion or capsize.
  • High water can materially increase the difficulty and change the runnable section.
  • Cold water can create thermal risk even during otherwise warm weather.
  • The exact launch, take-out and river section vary with current conditions and operator decisions.

Required gear

  • Operator-provided personal flotation device, helmet, paddle and required safety equipment.
  • Wetsuit or other thermal protection when required by water and weather conditions.
  • Secure footwear, quick-drying clothing and sun protection.
  • Any essential personal medication disclosed to the operator before departure.

Check before you go

  • Book through a qualified or licensed rafting operator.
  • Confirm current Una National Park access, river level, weather and cancellations.
  • Confirm the exact meeting point, transfer, launch, take-out and runnable section.
  • Confirm participant age, health, swimming and suitability requirements.

Local guidance

This challenging white-water section must not be attempted independently. Follow the operator’s briefing and guide or skipper instructions. The Atlas marker remains a general national-park access area and is not the launch point.
