Velika Kladuša

Velika Kladuša, also known as the ‘Gate of Bosnia’ is a town in the far northwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina and sits right on the border with Croatia. 

It is an important fact that Kladuša used to be the richest city in the former state. The touristic offer, in addition to the natural resources of the municipality, is based on the touristic village Mejdan and a medieval tower converted into a hotel. This complex is a typical village of Krajina. A golden earring which dates from medieval times was found in the territory of this municipality and is now kept in the National Museum in Zagreb.

The moderate continental climate and rich unspoiled forests are said to be ideal for hunting and fishing. The rivers Glinica, Kladusnica and Grbarska are well known as quality fishing areas. At the entrance to town, from the Bihac direction, you can't miss the large thermal swimming pool in Mala Kladusa. This thermal spring is rich in minerals and open to the public.
