About This Attraction

Rakitnica River

Rakitnica, a tributary of the Neretva River, has carved a 26-kilometer-long canyon that reaches depths of up to 1000 meters and, at some spots, narrows down to just one or two meters wide. This canyon, between Bjelašnica and Visočica southeast of Sarajevo, is home to brook trout and otters – a testament to the purity of the water. The adventure of navigating the last 6-7 kilometers of the Rakitnica canyon to the Neretva’s mouth is a demanding yet exhilarating journey that requires physical fitness and adaptability.
