Tajan is a mountain in central Bosnia bordering the central Bosnian municipalities of Zenica, Zavidovići, Kakanj, Žepče and Vareš. Its highest peak is 1.297 m above sea level. The mountain is surrounded with the Bosna, the Krivaja and the Zgoš­ća rivers, while the River Gostvićka rises in Tajan and feeds into the River Bosna. There also Duboka Tajašnica creek and Suhodol stream.

The nature of Tajan Mountain is unique because the mountain itself consists of limestone rock dating back to Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods which produced many karst phenomena, particularly caves in the Suha valley.

The majority of forest communities include beech and silver fir with Norway spruce, pure beech forest, oak-hornbeam forests and black pine forests, with typical vegetation of peridotite and serpentinite soils growing on the northern hillsides of Tajan.

Reported endemic species are Lilium bosniacum (G. Beck) G. Beck Fritch (Bosnian lily), and Euphorbia gregersenii K .Maly (Gregersen's smallflower hairy willowherb) growing on the outskirts of Tajan.

Animal species inhabiting the park are the brown bear, wolf, wild boar, European roe deer, rabbit, pine marten, squirrel, skunk, weasel, bank vole, grouse, hazel grouse, numerous reptiles and amphibians.

The greater Tajan area, covering 50 km2, was designated a protected area in 2008 under the category of Natural Monument.

Price:

An entrance fee is charged for Srednja Cliff Cave, Lukina Cave and Mašica Lake.
