Vranica

Vranica is a mountain range located in the western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the border with Croatia. It is part of the Dinaric Alps system and is known for its rugged terrain and significant elevation. The highest peak in Vranica is Nadkrstac, reaching approximately 2,074 meters (6,804 feet) above sea level.

The Vranica mountain range is characterized by its karst landscape, featuring limestone formations, deep canyons, and numerous caves. The region is also rich in biodiversity, with diverse flora and fauna adapted to the mountainous environment. Forests, predominantly beech and fir, cover the lower slopes, giving way to alpine meadows at higher altitudes.

Historically, Vranica has been a sparsely populated area, with its main economic activities revolving around forestry and, to a lesser extent, animal husbandry. Its remote nature has contributed to the preservation of its natural beauty and ecological integrity. The mountains offer opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and mountaineering, attracting nature enthusiasts and adventurers. Several streams and rivers originate in Vranica, feeding into the larger river systems of the region. The area's natural resources and scenic landscapes make it a notable geographical feature within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
