About this landmark
Bardača is not just a lake — it is a living ecosystem that breathes. This unique complex of 11 lakes (today only 3 active), between the Sava and Vrbas rivers, located 30 km north of Banja Luka, is one of the few places in BiH where nature still sets the rhythm. Declared a Ramsar site — listed on the world register of protected wetlands.
Bardača is home to 178 bird species, 280 plant species and 26 fish species. The lakes of Prevlaka, Dajkovac, Rakitovac, Necik, Lug and Dugo polje form a mosaic of water surfaces, forests, fishponds and floodplain meadows that never looks the same twice. This is a destination for those who know what they are looking for — silence, wilderness and nature in its purest form.
