Introduction to Rogatica, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
History and cultural characteristics
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
Geography and Tourism
Rogatica is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is close to the Sutjeska National Park (one of the last virgin forests in Europe) and the famous Drina River Gorge. Visitors can explore war memorial sites, hike mountain trails, or experience the folk culture of traditional villages. The town has a population of about 11,000 (2013 data) and is connected to Sarajevo's border with Serbia by the M5 highway, making it an important stopover for exploring the nature and history of eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
