Bosnia · BANJA LUKA TOURS
Bosnia’s second city sits on the Vrbas with a Kastel fortress in the middle of it and rafting water upstream. These 7 cover the city, the monasteries around it and the river, with prices and pickup points.
Travel from Banja Luka to Krupa Waterfalls in a private vehicle, then hike around the rushing water and surrounding scenery. Your English-speaking guide handles the transport and route, with pickup anywhere in Banja Luka. Allow about three hours and bring moderate fitness.
