ABOUT THIS ROUTE

The route in detail

The Una Valley Ride follows the upper course of the Una river through the quiet northwest of the country. It starts in Bihać, the historic river town on the flatwater reach, and runs upstream through the Una National Park — forest, emerald rapids and tiny river settlements — to Martin Brod, where the river spreads across meadows and the Rmnjan falls sit below the village. From Martin Brod the road continues to Štrbački buk, the great terraced waterfall near the Croatian border and one of the largest in this part of Europe. Traffic is light, the riding is calm, and the stops are the point: park viewpoints, the falls at both villages, and slow food on the river. The road is narrow in the park section with limited shoulders; watch for pedestrians and cyclists at the falls. Check Una NP access rules and BIHAMK reports before setting out.

PLAN RESPONSIBLY

Season & safety

Seasonal conditions

Best late spring to early autumn, when the falls carry snowmelt volume and the park facilities are open; winter access is possible but quiet with cold river air. Check Una National Park notices and BIHAMK reports before departure. Verified 2026-11-07.
