Novi Grad in Krajina: The Heart of Nature and Tradition

* Novi Grad is first mentioned in history in 1217 under the name Castrum Novum (New Town). However, most historians agree that the town was founded in 1280, when the first written documents about it appeared, including the Charter of the Blagaj princes Babonjić. This original document is kept in the state archive in Budapest, securing Novi Grad's place in history.

* Celebrated in numerous songs that honor the beauty of the Una River, Bosanski Novi, which was renamed Novi Grad after the war, has always been enveloped in natural charms.

Along the banks of the emerald Una, extending to the confluence with the Sana, where the river begins its journey, lies perhaps the greatest attraction of one of the oldest towns in Krajina—the famous Kej. This three-kilometer-long stone embankment, with its shaded avenues of chestnut trees and fragrant linden trees, offers a perfect spot for a stroll. The Novski Kej began construction during the Austro-Hungarian era and reached its final appearance in 1985 in the former state.

Of its total length of 207 km, the Una flows through the Novi Grad municipality for 35 km. Tourists are particularly interested in accommodation options along this river, which, with a summer temperature of 22°C, provides an ideal opportunity for refreshment in Novi Grad.

In Novi Grad and its surroundings, visitors can explore key places and activities such as:

Novi Grad Fortress - a medieval fortress that provides a perfect opportunity for walking and enjoying views of the surrounding nature.

Una River - known for its clear waters and beautiful waterfalls, ideal for various water sports such as rafting, kayaking, and fishing.

Old Town - streets with traditional houses and local shops, a perfect place to enjoy local culture and cuisine.

Mount Grmeč - offers numerous hiking trails and biking routes, ideal for excursions into unspoiled nature.

Events - local festivals like Una Fest provide opportunities to experience traditional music, dance, and gastronomy.

Novi Grad in Krajina represents a blend of tradition, culture, and natural beauty, making it a perfect destination for anyone looking to explore the authentic charms of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
