The Strict Nature Reserve “Perućica”, one of the last two remaining primeval forests in Europe, is part of the park.

Inaugurated in 1962, the park holds the distinction of not only being the largest but also the first national park to be declared in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its establishment, interestingly, was driven more by its historical significance in certain battles as opposed to conservation grounds. The park spans a vast area of approximately 17,500 hectares (43,000 acres).

Situated within the confines of the national park is the Perućica forest reserve, initially setup in 1952 as a ‘Natural reserve for scientific and educational purposes’. Perućica is noted for being one of the final two untouched forests in Europe and ranks amongst the five Strict Nature Reserves in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
