Foča is one of the most popular starting points for outdoor adventures in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially for travellers looking to explore the country’s most dramatic natural landscapes. Surrounded by mountains, rivers and dense forests, it serves as a gateway to Tara Canyon and Sutjeska National Park.
One of the most sought-after activities in the area is rafting. Tours along the Tara River, often starting or ending in Foča, attract visitors from across the region. With clear turquoise water, steep canyon walls and fast-moving rapids, rafting Tara offers both excitement and spectacular scenery. These tours typically range from half-day experiences to multi-day trips that include camping by the river and meals around the fire.
Foča is also a hub for hiking and trekking tours. From here, you can explore trails that lead through Sutjeska National Park, home to Perućica, one of Europe’s last primeval forests. Popular routes include hikes to Maglić, the highest peak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the glacial lake of Trnovačko, a favourite among nature photographers. For those looking for less intense activity, shorter walking tours explore viewpoints, waterfalls and memorial sites within the park.
Camping tours and multi-day adventures are also a common offering in this part of the country, blending nature immersion with local hospitality. Whether you’re navigating river rapids, hiking into remote valleys or setting up camp under the stars, Foča offers some of the most memorable outdoor tours in the region.
