To the west towards Kupres is a region called Koprivnica. This enormous forest was once one of President Tito's favorite hunting spots. The uninhabited dense forest has created a sanctuary for wild animals. Hunting associations are very active in this region and there are many mountain and hunting lodges dotting the forest. Duboka Valley (lit. "deep valley") is a designated hunting area covered by thick spruce. Kalin Mountain is a popular weekend area for hikers and nature lovers.

Perspective

The climate in Bugojno is continental. Summers are usually warm and dry, with average temperatures that can reach or exceed 30°C. Sunny days are common, but occasional short showers can occur, especially in late summer. Nights are relatively cool, providing relief from the daytime heat. Winters are cold and snowy. Temperatures often drop below 0°C, and the snow cover remains on the ground for most of the winter. Frost is common, which can cause ice and slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks. Climate change increasingly affects this region, resulting in variations in precipitation frequency and intensity, as well as temperature extremes. The hottest day on record was August 24, 2007, at 39.3°C, while the coldest was February 17, 1956, at -31.2 °C. The highest annual precipitation was recorded in 1895 at 1117 mm, while the lowest was in 2011 at 522 mm.[7]

Economy

Bugojno was once a major industrial centre in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1981, Bugojno's GDP per capita was 98% of the Yugoslav average.[10] However, hardships caused by the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina took a toll on the industry and overall economy of Bugojno. Apart from industry, forestry has been an important contributor to the local economy and continues to be. In recent years, agriculture has grown in sustaining the Bugojno's economy as many people are investing in land and agronomy.

Sports
