Waterfall in Mostar
Kravice Falls
The Kravice Falls are a crescent-shaped series of waterfalls on the Trebizat River, 40 kilometers south of Mostar. Entry is paid at a modest price. The falls drop 25 meters into a natural pool where swimming is allowed in summer. The setting is compared to a mini Niagara in a Mediterranean climate. Budget travelers take a cheap bus or shared taxi from Mostar, pay the modest entry fee, swim beneath the falls, and get one of the most spectacular natural swimming experiences in the Balkans.
