The announcement was made by the City’s project manager Milada Šukalo, who emphasized that the project includes the development of walking trails, viewpoints, and rest areas, as well as the installation of informational boards and environmentally friendly supporting infrastructure — all with full respect for the site’s natural values.

“Kameni Most is not only a natural phenomenon, but also a symbol of the strength and beauty of our region. The restoration of trails and viewpoints will enable visitors to experience it in its full grandeur, while offering new opportunities for tourism development to the local community,” Šukalo stated.

With the newly arranged space, Kameni Most will become part of the renowned hiking and trekking route Via Dinarica, attracting nature lovers and hikers from across the region.

“Our goal is to ensure that every step along the trails is safe and comfortable, allowing visitors to enjoy the majestic natural arch and connect with nature,” Šukalo added.

The project is being implemented by the City of Banja Luka with financial support from the United Nations Development Programme. In addition to restoring and arranging the site, the initiative will contribute to the economic and social development of the areas of Krmine, Krupa na Vrbasu, and Ljubačevo, extend tourists’ stays, and strengthen the overall tourism offer of Banja Luka and the wider region in line with sustainable development principles.

“Kameni Most is no longer just a drawing on paper or a distant natural formation. It is becoming a place where nature and tourism live together,” Šukalo concluded.
