Sutjeska National Park - Promo Video

Najstariji i najveći nacionalni park u Republici Srpskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini prostire se na 16.052,34 ha, a više od 66 odsto pokriveno je šumama, dok ostatak čine livade, pašnjaci i goleti. Park obuhvata široko planinsko područje na tromeđi Bosne i Hercegovine i Crne Gore, oivičen je rijekama Pivom, Drinom, izvorišnim tokom Neretve, a nadvijaju ga planinski masivi Bioča, Vučeva, Maglića, Volujaka, Lebršnika i Zelengore. Najviši vrh Bosne i Hercegovine, Maglić (2.386 m.n.v.), nalazi se na području Parka. Upravo zbog ljepote svojih vrijednosti i činjenice da se radi o netaknutoj prirodi, ovaj nacionalni park 2000. godine dospio je u II kategorijiu IUCN-a (Odjeljenja UN-a za zaštitu prirode i prirodnih dobara). U srcu Parka smješten je i strogi prirodni rezervat Perućica (1.434 ha), najočuvanija i najveća prašuma u Evropi, u kojoj je od osnivanja Nacionalnog parka strogo zabranjena bilo kakva intervencija i uplitanje čovjeka. Na jednom području ljubitelji prirodnih ljepota mogu vidjeti sve što požele - od pitomih dolina, gustih šumskih kompleksa, planinskih pašnjaka do visokih planinskig masiva. Na Zelengori se nalazi osam glečerskih jezera, poznatih “gorskih očiju”, a tu su i impozantni kanjoni Sutjeske, Hrčavke, Jabučnice, bistrih planinskih rijeka koje su bogate potočnom pastrmkom. Na području Nacionalnog parka nalaze se i mnogobrojni spomenici starije i novije istorije. Bitka na Sutjesci (Peta ofanziva, “Operacija Schwarz”) dešavala se od 15. maja do 15. juna na prostorima Crne Gore, istočne Hercegovine i istočne Bosne, a završne i najkrvavije borbe odigrale su se na području rijeke Sutjeske i planinama koje je okružuju. U spomen na tu veliku bitku, na Tjentištu je izgrađen memorijalni kompleks, čiji je centralni dio monumentalni spomenik, koji je izgradio akademski vajar Miodrag Živković, kao i spomen-kuća Bitke na Sutjesci, arhitektonsko remek djelo beogradskog arhitekte Ranka Radovića. Nacionalnim parkom “Sutjeska” upravlja Javna ustanova Nacionalni park “Sutjeska”, sa sjedištem na Tjentištu. Član je EUROPARC-a.
