The canyon of the river Rakitnica

The river Rakitnica is probably one of the largest confluent of the river Nere­tva. Its canyon is almost inaccessible, but extremely beautiful. It is almost 26 kilo­meters long.

The water that flows thro­ugh the canyon is crystal clear. It is clean so that it is possible to drink it. This area is full of endemic species of flora and fa­una. The canyon stretches between the mountains Bjelašnica and Visočica that are situated southeast from Sarajevo.

This is probably one of the deepest river canyons in Europe. In that terrain we can find bears, wolves, wild boars, martens and chamoises. The canyon of the river Rakitnica is still unexplored, because there have been only a couple of expe­ditions until now.

The biggest attraction is placed in the upper stream of the river Neretva, near Konjic. This area is conve­nient for rafting because of its numerous wild rapids. To get to rafting, you can use the same road you would use to get to Boračko jezero. The complete experien­ce gives you the sense of relaxation. The mere view represents an adventure.

The pure water, the wild surrounding and the river rapids will make your vacation unforgettable, for sure.
