Mills on the Una
Nature writes the most beautiful stories, but not with an ordinary pen. The story of the Una River is certainly special, written in emerald color that flows through deep canyons. Una caresses its banks, gently flowing as the willow branches are reflected in its emerald surface. Suddenly, it becomes wild, fast and unpredictable, starts foaming and falling down high waterfalls. The Una River flows through the northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, mostly through the Una-Sana Canton. Many settlements and residential areas were built on the banks of the Una River. Almost the entire length of the Una River is made up of travertine cascades. The natural waterfalls, cascades and rapids on the upper longitudinal profile of the Una river represent a unique natural heritage, which is how this river got its name – in Latin Una means “one and only”.
