Sport & Activities
Opportunities for outdoor activities, especially hiking, rafting and fishing, exist in Bosnia and Herzegovina. But even though the country’s large areas of forest, streams and mountains have much to offer to nature and outdoor enthusiasts, the effects of the civil war are still burdening Bosnia and Herzegovina with difficult transport links, poor roads and the considerable danger of landmines (which are apparently taking a heavy toll on wildlife). It will therefore take some years before the country’s potential for activity holidays can be further developed. In past years, mountain health spa resorts such as Jahorina, Bjelasnica and Igman were renowned for good skiing, while the Adriatic Coast was known for its beaches, many of them suitable for swimming and other types of watersports. Fishing is unrestricted on the coast. For rivers and lakes, a special permit (which can be issued by hotels and regional authorities) is needed, with regulations differing in individual regions.
