Livno
Land of Wild Horses

Vast karst fields, wild horses, and a medieval old town — untouched western Bosnia.

Wild Horses Karst Landscape Western Bosnia

Where Wild Horses Still Run Free

Livno sits in one of Bosnia's most dramatic karst landscapes — a vast polje (flatland) ringed by limestone mountains, where semi-wild horses roam freely across the plains. It's one of the last places in Europe where you can witness such a scene, and it feels genuinely untamed.

The city itself preserves a beautiful old town with Ottoman and medieval architecture, while the surrounding countryside offers Livanjsko polje — one of the world's largest karst fields — and the stunning Buško lake, a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

Livno is where Europe's wildness hasn't yet been tamed — and the horses know it.
