Abstract

The „BIJELE VODE“ complex („WHITE WATERS“) is located in the Gorazde municipality (Geographical coordinates: 43º43'39.61''N, 18º55'06.90''E, elevation: 985). It is about 20 km from the Gorazde town, and about 70 km from Sarajevo.

Gorazde is the seat of the municipality and the Bosnian-Podrinje canton, located in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its location along the course of the Drina river, geomorphology and other characteristics of the natural environment have shaped a very favorable climate (Cfb climate type according to the Köppen climate classification - foothill moderately continental). Huge natural resources (fertile soil along the Drina, the wealth of forests with everything that the forest as an ecosystem carries, many sources of drinking water, smaller and larger watercourses) attracted people back in prehistoric times, where they realized their existence. The valley of the Drina river represented, in a certain way, a natural communication from the Adriatic Sea to the Sava. As the Drina was the 'border of worlds' (between the Eastern and Western Roman Empires), the settlements along its course (Foca, Gorazde, Visegrad, Zvornik...) had a special geostrategic significance, both along its course and in many transversal contacts Bosnia - Serbia. Gorazde was thus located on the famous 'Drina road' ('Via Drine'), which connected the Adriatic Sea with Srebrenica and Serbia.
