tourist attraction in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Region: West Bosnia — Livno Region

Duman is a beautiful spring of the Bistrica River, located in the heart of Livno, at the foot of the karst hill Bašajkovac and beneath the steep cliffs of Crvenica. At this spot, the Bistrica River powerfully springs from a cave, creating a captivating scene of clear water surrounded by greenery and stone. With its beauty and appearance, Duman greatly resembles the famous spring of Buna in Blagaj, which is why it is considered one of the most beautiful natural gems of this region. It got its name from the Turkish word duman, which means smoke or mist – referring to the fine water curtain that forms above the spring during high water levels in the winter months. Duman has always been a favorite spot for the people of Livno, and in the summer, it attracts visitors with its pleasant coolness and tranquility. Along the spring, there is a well-maintained promenade, ideal for relaxed walks, resting, and enjoying nature. The area of Duman also hides a rich heritage – archaeological research in the surrounding cave has revealed traces of human settlements that are thousands of years old. Whether you come for nature, peace, or the beauty of the scenery, the spring of Bistrica at Duman is an unmissable point for every visitor to Livno.
