We are situated in the area where Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Montenegro meet, which is a kind of natural, cultural, and historical specificity. It is both a cosmopolitan and provincial area of original local architecture as opposed to avant-garde monuments. Rural catchment areas are complemented by a tourist destination of national importance, which together with the multiethnic identity of the place (from earliest times) complete the picture of the area.

The biggest and oldest in BiH (new survey area of 16,052 ha), the park also manages a special hunting ground named Zelengora, stretching over an area of 49,106 ha. The park itself is intersected by the river Sutjeska in the length of 12 km, dividing the area into two parts of distinctly mountainous terrain. Protection zones are defined into three regimes which include preserved natural values – forest complexes, plant habitats, vegetation, and fauna as well as cultural-historical (made) objects that confirm the continuity of institutional action on the protection and preservation of this area. It was declared a National Park in 1962, the term or prefix ‘’national’’ indicates that it is a space identified with the fatherland, its heritage, its sense of patriotism, and national pride.
