Worldclass rafting

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.

Kayaking or canoeing on Vrbas River

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.

 Banja Luka has been through some rough times in its history from invasions , bombardment and in 1969 an earthquake! But you'll find a great city here with some great cafes and places to eat!
