Latest Banja Luka hotel reviews
The Vrbas is a fast-flowing mountain river with several white-water stretches and pool drops. Just upstream from Banja Luka (ie south of the city) it passes through the Tijesno and Podmilacje canyons where a 20km (13 mile) stretch of the river has been marked out for competitive rafting. The grade is 2-4 and water volumes are pretty much guaranteed as they can be regulated by a dam at a hydro-electric plant farther upstream.
There is an international rafting festival each year and In 2009 Banja Luka will host the World Rafting Championships.
Camping facilities are often available.

Helpfulness
As I said, Vrbas is very fast river. It is fantastic for kayaking and canoeing. Try to find out about some of clubs, rent a canoe or kayak and enjoy. But be careful. Otherwise, you will finish your trip in Sava River.

Quite a lively city scarred by war
I have to admit Banja Luka was a big suprise for me. I expected to see a ravaged city, pretty lifeless and just stagnating on the verge of death. And in fact, I found quite a lively city full of...
