Kozara National Park

Kozara National Park

National park Kozara ("Nacionalni Park Kozara") is a national park in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, that was proclaimed a protected national forest in 1967 by Josip Broz Tito. Situated between the rivers Una, Sava, Sana and Vrbas, these 33.75 square kilometres of dense forest and hilly meadows have earned the nickname 'Green Beauty of Krajina'.

Kozara is a popular hunting ground, with a large 180 square kilometre area of the park open to regulated hunting of deer, pheasants, foxes, boars, hares, and ducks.

A smaller part of the park is designated for nature lovers. Walking, hiking, biking and herb picking are among the many activities in Kozara.

Kozara was also a former battleground during World War II. The Partisans intimate knowledge of Bosnia’s rough terrain obviously gave them an advantage over the newly occupying Germans.
