amed after the impressive River Una—meaning the only one—which is the name the Romans gave to the river, Una National Park attracts visitors throughout the year and is most beautiful in the spring, summer, and autumn season. Here, awareness of the preservation of natural heritage is taught from an early age through ecological workshops and quizzes for young children. For years, environmental clean-ups called Just a Little Bit of Good Will have been organised every year on Saturdays from April to June, and 17

For a large number of local and foreign guests, Una Regatta—the popular international tourist and sporting event—is the highlight of the summer season which allows them to enjoy the region’s gorgeous landscapes for four days. Una Regatta has been postponed in response to the global coronavirus outbreak, but its 48th edition will take place in the last week of July, which is when it usually takes place, and the official date will be announced soon. 79
