Kravice Travel Guide

Kravice, a spectacular fan-shaped cascade in Herzegovina's countryside, a natural swimming paradise.

📍 Destination Overview

Kravice Falls, south of Mostar in the Herzegovina countryside, is the most beautiful waterfall in Bosnia. The green Trebižat river does not plunge as one stream but spreads wide in a fan — a semicircular cascade about a hundred metres across tumbling into a broad clear pool, called the Niagara of Bosnia. Best of all, it invites swimming, paddling and picnicking come summer.
