Waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina has more waterfalls than Italy, France and Germany combined. Hidden in canyons, ancient forests and city centres — each one tells its own story. From 98 metres of free fall near Sarajevo to a travertine amphitheatre in Herzegovina, these are places where nature still plays by its own rules.
Hidden gems of nature
The waterfalls of Bosnia and Herzegovina lie tucked among canyons, forests and mountains, far from city noise and mass tourism.
Made for photography
Turquoise water, limestone cliffs and untouched nature create scenes that look unreal in every season.
Perfect for weekend adventures
From easy walks to hidden waterfalls deep in the wild, every location offers a different outdoor experience.
Multiple destinations in one trip
Waterfalls are often close to viewpoints, mountains and rivers, making them a perfect stop on a road trip through BiH.
Kravica Waterfall
A natural amphitheater of travertine and white foam, where the Trebižat River paints its masterpiece. Swimming beneath the cascades, the scent of wet stone, and the emerald pools calling you in — Kravica is Herzegovina in a single picture.
One of the rare waterfalls in Europe where you can swim all the way beneath the curtain of water.
Štrbački buk waterfall
Here, the Una River does not simply fall — it dances. Multiple cascades, turquoise water, and untouched forest surroundings make Štrbački Buk one of the most photogenic sights in the Balkans.
Roman soldiers gave the river its name — “Una,” meaning “the only one.” Once you see it, you will understand why.
Skakavac waterfall
The tallest waterfall in Bosnia and Herzegovina, hidden inside a canyon just 12 km from the center of Sarajevo. After a 45-minute walk through the forest, the first glimpse of it takes your breath away.
A 98-meter free fall — all within reach of the capital city.
Plivski Waterfall
A river falling in the middle of a city. The only waterfall in the world located in the very center of a town — beneath medieval towers and walls, between cafés and streets. Jajce would not exist without the Pliva Waterfall.
The world’s only urban waterfall — walking access included, parking optional.
Koćuša waterfall
Standing on the riverbank feels as though the wall of water surrounds you entirely. Koćuša is not tall — but it is as wide as a stage. Nearby old mills whisper stories from another time.
A miniature Herzegovinian Niagara — and most people from Mostar have never even heard of it.
Blihin Skok waterfall
It is a remarkable phenomenon that such a small river creates such a massive waterfall — the Bliha plunges from the cliffs as if unaware of how small it really is. Wild, loud, and completely untouched by commercial tourism.
A tiny river with a giant ego — 72 meters of free fall without any warning.
Veliki buk — Martin Brod
The most powerful waterfall of the Una River hides at the end of a gravel road deep inside Una National Park. Two streams merge and together plunge over 54-meter-high cliffs across a width of 63 meters.
The mightiest waterfall of the Una River lies hidden behind a turn most travelers miss.
Kozice waterfalls
Three smaller waterfalls and one larger cascade create a landscape perfect for photography. Quiet, fragrant, and far from the crowds — Kozica is a waterfall for those who know where to look.
Four waterfalls in a single breath — and not a tourist queue in sight.
