The first tourists, strangers, descended into rafts down the Drina in 1923, kayak-sport was organized in 1931, and in the 70's the Tjentište (NPS) has been visited by 100 000 to 200 000 visitors. "For tourists, Foča is a convenient starting point to the ends of wild romance in the Upper Drina: in Sutjeska, Zelengora, on the mountains Volujak, Maglić and Ljubišnja", wrote Dragutin J. Deroko in the monography "The Drina". Foča is the city in which people are coming. It has been so for centuries, so it is still today. That's why people are coming to Foca. You should come, too!
