Vrbas

Congress Room 1 – named after the River Vrbas

Among the 262 rivers flowing through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vrbas stands out as the only river with a male name. Stretching 237 km, it boasts the steepest gradient of all Sava’s tributaries, making it fast and untamed—especially in the canyon between Donji Vakuf and Banja Luka.

The river originates from beneath Mount Zec (eng. Rabbit) at an altitude of 1,780 meters and flows through eight municipalities. According to folklore, the name “Vrbas” comes from the white willow (vrba), once widely present along its lower banks.

Vrbas is also internationally recognized as a premier destination for adventure tourism, offering activities like kayaking, canoeing, and whitewater rafting. It proudly hosted the European Rafting Championship in 2005 and the World Rafting Championship in 2009, cementing its place on the map of global water sports.
