Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Bihać
Bihać sits on a bend of the Una River in the far north-west corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hemmed in by Croatia on three sides, and the river is the reason to come. The Una is a famously clear, turquoise-green water that tumbles over travertine steps and small waterfalls, and rafters and kayakers come from across Europe to run it. The town itself is a modest, friendly place with a pleasant promenade along the water, a handful of cafés, and a few relics of its long and complicated history.

Recorded stop-planning note
May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.
Planning note
Bihać sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Drvar.
2. Drvar
Drvar sits in a high green bowl of western Bosnia, circled by forested mountains and close to the Dinara range, which marks the border with Croatia. It is a small town, remote and quiet, and for a rider following the Una River route it is a place where the road runs out of towns for a while, so it makes sense to top up when you can. The larger centres are Bosansko Grahovo, about twenty kilometres away, and Sanica, though neither is large by European standards.
