The legend behind the river’s name goes back to Roman times when a legionnaire had his first glance of the sparkling waters and uttered ‘Una, solo una’ (the only one), suggesting he had never seen anything like it in his life. You might feel the same. Rafting on the Una is becoming a national pastime. The annual international Una Regatta has increased so much in popularity that places in the three-day competition are booked months in advance. It’s a fabulous experience and more than worth a stop.
There are at least four different raft runs on the Una River, from two hours of easy rafting to six hours of up to class VI rapids. The most attractive, interesting and exciting part of the river is the Strbacki Buk-Lahovo run. This 15km route is a class IV-V run that conquers waterfalls you’ve only seen in films.

There is a stream flowing by almost every house in Martin Brod; in recent times each of them have provided power for one or even two mills. People from surrounding areas brought grains to Martin Brod and thanks to the skill of its people and the power of water they managed to turn grains into flour. It was such a developed activity that the people from that area themselves never had the need to grow any crops, but they provided them by interchanging them for the power of wells that cross all over the area even today and surround almost every house.
