Koćuša Waterfall

Koćuša Waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural gems of Herzegovina, hidden in the village of Veljaci not far from Ljubuški. Located on the Mlade River, this impressive waterfall is 50 meters wide and five meters high, and it was formed by the deposition of travertine—a natural rock phenomenon that gives the waterfall a fairy-tale, almost unreal appearance. The roar of the water can be heard long before you see it, and when you stand before it, the sight leaves you speechless. Nearby, old mills and staves, silent witnesses to centuries of life along this river, give the waterfall a special soul and an authentic Herzegovinian character. Koćuša is a destination for anyone seeking peace, nature, and an escape from the everyday—especially on summer days, when the cold water and greenery provide a true refreshment under the Hercegovinian sun.
