Description

Hidden deep in the dense forests of Kotor Varoš, Skakavac Waterfall looks like a scene from a Hollywood film or the exotic rainforests of the Amazon. Standing about 20 metres high, this natural gem offers complete peace — the only sounds accompanying you are the murmur of water and birdsong. Thanks to the efforts of local mountaineers, the trails have been arranged and marked, making this "hidden paradise" more accessible than ever. A special kind of magic appears in winter, when frost turns Skakavac into a wondrous ice sculpture. While the plunge pool stands completely frozen, the powerful roar of water can still be heard from within, creating an unreal, fairytale atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic escape into the wilderness, Skakavac is a destination that will completely enchant you.
