Biology

Ravna Vala is located at an altitude of 1280 to 1450 meters on an area of 45 ha. The geological base is limestone-dolomite on which very heterogeneous soils have been developed.[4] The main forest species are fir and beech, but spruce, maple and other deciduous trees occur in the admixture.[5]

In addition to other wild animals, there is also a brown bear, which is the largest wild animal in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[6]
