Rijeka Sava Protected Area – BA-0188

The beauty of amateur radio is not only in making contacts, it is in discovering the hidden natural treasures of our world. The Rijeka Sava Protected Area represents one of the most interesting locations for a POTA (Parks on the Air) activation, combining nature, ecology, and the spirit of outdoor radio.

This spot is frequently activated by E7POTA member, Miki E75HZ.

The Sava River is one of the most important rivers of Southeast Europe, flowing through several countries and forming a unique ecosystem of wetlands, forests, river islands, and floodplains. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Sava landscape is especially valuable because of its biodiversity and its role in preserving natural habitats.

For radio amateurs, this area offers a perfect environment for portable operations:

POTA Activation Ideas
• Set up your station near the river banks
• Enjoy quiet QRP operation surrounded by nature
• Work HF bands with a simple wire antenna or portable vertical
• Capture the beauty of Posavina while making contacts around the world

The sound of the river, birds in the wetlands, and the peaceful landscape create an unforgettable radio experience. Every QSO becomes a small story — a connection between an operator, a protected natural place, and another amateur somewhere across the globe.

Whether you are chasing POTA references, collecting unique locations, or simply looking for inspiration away from the city noise, Rijeka Sava Protected Area is a destination worth activating & hunting.

73 and happy hunting!
