Mist hangs in the trees at first light, grass holds a cool scent, and quiet tracks run through spruce to open meadows. Memorial forms rise on a hill with long views over the Sava and Vrbas plains, and family-friendly trails loop back under shade. Banja Luka sits a short drive away for cafés and river walks.

Top story from Kozara Begin on a forest path where needles soften the ground and woodpeckers tap in the canopy. Reach the memorial clearing and take in the view across rolling ridges, then follow a signed loop along the edge of the woods.
