The first stage, from Martin Brod to Štrbački buk, begins the rafting part of the program of the 52nd International Tourist Una-Regatta, one of the most significant tourist-sports manifestations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the next three days, many Una river enthusiasts from across the country and abroad will sail along the most famous parts of its course, with a rich program of sports, entertainment, and music.
According to Arijana Jašarević from the Public Enterprise “Una National Park”, the first stage will set off from the Lučica camp in Martin Brod. After sailing and a short break in Kulen Vakuf, where lunch will be prepared, participants will reach Štrbački buk.
“Upon arrival at Štrbački buk, we have prepared a range of entertainment activities and games for participants, with valuable prizes from our sponsors, while a concert by Anita Šunić will round off the evening program,” Jašarević said.
She emphasized that the greatest interest is expected for the second stage from Štrbački buk to Bihać, which is considered the most attractive and adrenaline-fueled part of the regatta.
“Based on current registrations, we expect more than a hundred boats on the water. The flotilla will stop in Ripač, where participants will have lunch, followed by the entry into Bihać and a festive welcome on Gradska otoka,” Jašarević said.
An all-day entertainment program will accompany the arrival of regatta participants in Bihać. From 4:00 p.m., DJ Inis will entertain the visitors, followed by a blobbing competition, traditional dives from the City Bridge organized by the City Sports Association, and a spectacular welcome for the first boats, which will mark the peak of the second day of the event. The night will round off with a concert by Toni Cetinski.
The final stage of the regatta sets off from Kostel towards Bosanska Krupa, with a stop in Miostrahe in the Cazin area, where a cultural and entertainment program and diving competitions will be organized. The most successful and interesting participants of this year’s regatta will be announced in Bosanska Krupa, including the youngest and the oldest participant, as well as the traditional titles of Neptune of the Regatta and the Una Mermaid, after which the event will close with a concert by Denial Ahmetović.
