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.

History

When the German and Italian Zones of Influence were revised on 24 June 1942, Bugojno fell in {{ill|Zone III (NDH)|lt=Zone III|hr|Treća zona (NDH)}}, administered civilly by Croatia and militarily by Croatia and Germany.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=341}}

Geography

The municipality has an average elevation of 570 metres above sea level. Much of its 366 km sq. is forested. The terrain is mountainous with several prominent features. Stožer (1,662 m), Kalin (1,530 m) and Rudina (1,385 m) are the tallest mountains in Bugojno.

Demographics

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.{{cite book | title=Atlas svijeta: Novi pogled na Zemlju | year=1984 | edition=3rd | publisher=Sveučilišna naklada Liber | location=Zagreb | language=hr | editor1-first=Radovan | editor1-last=Radovinović | editor2-first=Ivan | editor2-last=Bertić}} 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.
