Livno
Livno - Wild Beauty of Dinaride and Heart of Herzegovina
Livno, a city in southwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, located between the Mountains of Dinara (1,831 m) and Cincar (2,006 m), is a unique combination of the Mediterranean and continental spirit. This area, chopped by karst rivers, pastures and medieval traces, offers a story that enchants all the senses.
🐎 Wild horses - a living symbol of Livno
Livno is the home of the last population of wild horses in BiH (about 600-800 heads), which are free to reside on the plateau of circles at the foot of the Cincar Mountain. These horses, descendants of former working animals, are today a protected natural phenomenon. The best way to see them is off-road safari or a visit to local farms that organize tours.

Dinara - the highest peak in Croatia, ideal for hiking (Markova Kos, Japetic).
Cincar - a paradise for photographers with horses and sources of the Bistrica River.
