Waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Kravica, the Una Falls, Pliva and Skakavac
One waterfall has tours: Kravica, 40 of them typically 60 to 120 EUR. The others, from the 24.5 m Štrbački buk to the 98 m Skakavac near Sarajevo, you reach on your own.
All 40 tours we list for Bosnia and Herzegovina go to one waterfall, Kravica, and 35 of their titles also name Mostar. The country has more falls than that, and this page is where they are compared: Štrbački buk and Martin Brod on the Una, the Pliva in the middle of Jajce, and two waterfalls both called Skakavac, one beside Sarajevo and one in Sutjeska National Park. None of those has a tour in our catalog, which is worth knowing before you plan a week around waterfalls in Bosnia. Below you will find heights from the parks' own pages, what each fall asks of you, a map, a price chart and the months that matter. It does not repeat Kravica: that fall has its own page, and the two pages under it hold the tours.
Read this page to choose between places and months. Read the Kravica Waterfalls page for the site itself, its ticket and its rules, and the two pages under it for the tours, from Dubrovnik and from Mostar, Sarajevo and Split. Every price was read on 22 October 2026 and is as listed, in euros or in convertible marks (KM) where an official page quotes them. Distances and times are operator figures unless we say otherwise, and where two sources disagree on a height, we give both.

Waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina: three river systems
The falls sit in three separate places, and no single trip joins them. Kravica is on the Trebižat in Herzegovina, in the south. The Una's falls are in the northwest, the Pliva meets the Vrbas in the center, and Skakavac drops from the Perućica forest in the southeast, below Maglić, the country's highest peak. All of it is limestone country. The Kravica operator says the Trebižat crosses limestone and deposits tufa, and that the tufa built the falls. Wikipedia describes Skakavac as falling over a karstic limestone precipice. Una National Park was set up on 29 May 2008 and covers 350 km², according to Wikipedia. We found no authoritative flow figure by month for any of them, which matters in the season section below.
Štrbački buk, the fall on the Croatian border
Štrbački buk is the highest waterfall in Una National Park: 24.5 m by the park's own page, 25 m on Wikipedia. It stands on the Una on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, south of Bihać. A wooden path with stairs, handrails and viewpoints leads to it, and the park is open all year with an entrance fee, according to the Via Dinarica guide.
The photo is a long exposure of the main drop, with the old mill house above it. No tour in our catalog goes here. You get there by your own transport, and the same park runs rafting and kayaking on the Una through licensed agencies.
Kravica, the one with the tours
Kravica is a semicircle of tufa falls on the Trebižat, 7 km from Ljubuški, about 28 m high depending on the water level, over a basin 120 m across. It costs 20 KM to enter, a small amount in euros, and it is the only Bosnian waterfall with a day-tour market: 40 listings from Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo and Split. Everything about the place and the tours is on the Kravica Waterfalls page. This page keeps to two or three sentences on it so that the other falls get room.
Five waterfalls side by side
| Waterfall | Where | Height | How you see it | Tours here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kravica | Trebižat river, 7 km from Ljubuški | About 28 m, depending on the water | Gate ticket 20 KM, car park or a day tour | 40 |
| Štrbački buk | Una National Park, Croatian border | 24.5 m (park), 25 m (Wikipedia) | Wooden path with stairs, park entrance fee | 0 |
| Martin Brod (Milančev buk) | Una National Park | 54 m of drop over about 800 m | Marked trails near the village | 0 |
| Pliva | Jajce, where the Pliva meets the Vrbas | 22 m (Wikipedia) | In the town; we found no ticket or rules | 0 |
| Skakavac, Perućica | Sutjeska National Park | Over 73 m (park), about 75 m (Wikipedia) | Guided hike only, 9 km round trip, 60 to 120 EUR | 0 |
| Skakavac, Nahorevo | Edge of Sarajevo | 98 m (Sarajevo protected-areas site) | About 1 km on foot from the barrier if you drive | 0 |
The two Skakavacs share a name and nothing else. Do not rank them by height: the sources differ, and Martin Brod is a sequence of falls, not one.
Where the falls are and how far apart
Kravica is a two-hour drive from Dubrovnik and a three-hour one from Sarajevo. Every other fall on this page is somewhere else.
Operators and one travel blog put Kravica about 2 hours and 127 km from Dubrovnik, 3 hours and 167 km from Sarajevo, and 45 minutes to an hour from Mostar. Split to Mostar is about 2.5 hours with a border crossing. These are not official figures. No tour on this site links any two of these falls.
Pliva, the waterfall inside a town
The Pliva falls are at Jajce, where the Pliva river joins the Vrbas, and the houses stand around them. Wikipedia gives 22 m for the fall as of 22 October 2026. We found no official ticket price or visiting rules, so none appear here. The provider feeds list 13 day trips around Jajce and Travnik, but their titles do not name the waterfall, so we left them out of the catalog. If you want the Pliva by tour, read the itinerary of any of those for the word before you pay.
Martin Brod and the Una's steps
Upstream of Štrbački buk the Una drops through the village of Martin Brod in a sequence of falls about 800 m long with a total drop of 54 m, whose main fall is called Milančev buk. The park calls it the largest waterfall complex in Una National Park by area.
Two trails start nearby, Martina staza and Put pod gredu, and the Lučica picnic area is beside entrance no. 5. A natural travertine basin, the bučnica, is about 200 m from the falls. The park's page gives no season for visiting.
Two waterfalls called Skakavac
Skakavac in Sutjeska National Park falls from the Perućica creek, over 73 m by the park's page and about 75 m on Wikipedia. It is inside a strict nature reserve, and the park prohibits any visit that is not announced, approved and monitored by its staff. The park sells one: a hike of about 9 km round trip, roughly three hours of walking and an hour at the falls, after a 40 to 50 minute off-road transfer to Dragoš sedlo at 1,260 m. It costs 60 to 120 EUR per person for groups of at least four, aged 7 to 50, between April and November. The 10 KM park fee is extra.
Skakavac in Sutjeska is the one fall on this page that the park will not let you visit alone.
The other Skakavac is a nature monument at Nahorevo on the edge of Sarajevo, 98 m high by the canton's protected-areas page. If you drive, you reach the barrier at the area's entrance and walk about 1 km, and parking is limited.
What a Bosnian waterfall day costs
Five of the 21 countries on this site have a lower median than Bosnia's, and the spread is wide: the lower quartile sits in the 30 to 60 EUR band, the upper in the 120 to 250 EUR band and the top above 500 EUR. Thirty-two percent of the 40 listings are private, and seven of the 40 quote one price for the whole group, so the long right-hand bar is mostly those private tours and not a dearer waterfall. A shared day from Dubrovnik typically costs 60 to 120 EUR and a private one sits in the 500 to 1,000 EUR band. From Mostar the shared median is in the 30 to 60 EUR band. Add the 20 KM gate when the listing says it is not included, and in five of the nine we opened it was not.
When to go to Bosnia's waterfalls
| Month | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kravica Open all year; hours run to 22:00 from June to September and to 17:00 in winter. The operator says you can swim in summer. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| Una falls (Štrbački buk, Martin Brod) The park is open all year, per Via Dinarica. We found no flow data by month. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| Skakavac, Sutjeska Guided visits only, April to November; mosquito repellent is advised in May and June. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
Hours and tour season come from the operators. No monthly flow data found for Pliva or Sarajevo's Skakavac, so they are left out.
Kravica is the only one with a calendar you can read, and it is a calendar of hours and swimming, not of water. The operator says the level and the vegetation change the look of the falls in every season but gives no months, and we did not rank any by flow. For the Una falls, the park is open year-round and that is all we can source.
Questions about waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina
What are the best waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
It depends on what you want to do. Kravica, about 28 m high over a 120 m basin, is the one with day tours and a summer swimming area. Štrbački buk (24.5 m) and the Martin Brod falls (54 m of drop over about 800 m) are on the Una, with a walkway and trails. Skakavac in Sutjeska, over 73 m, is a guided 9 km hike. Heights are from the parks' own pages.
Is Kravica the biggest waterfall in Bosnia?
No. The operator gives about 28 m depending on the water level, while the Sutjeska park says Skakavac is over 73 m and Sarajevo's protected-areas page gives 98 m for the other Skakavac. Kravica is wide more than tall, with a basin 120 m across, and it is among the most visited, which is not the same as the biggest.
Can you swim at waterfalls in Bosnia?
At Kravica, yes in summer, at your own risk, according to the operator. Pets are kept out of the bathing areas and a landslide warning is posted. For the Una falls, Pliva and both Skakavacs we found no swimming rule on the pages we read, so do not assume one.
Can you visit Bosnian waterfalls without a tour?
Kravica and Štrbački buk have ordinary entrances with a fee. Pliva stands in the town of Jajce. Skakavac in Sutjeska cannot be visited alone: the park prohibits visits it has not approved, so you book its guided hike. The Sarajevo Skakavac is about 1 km on foot from the barrier if you drive.
Are there waterfalls near Sarajevo?
One close by: Skakavac at Nahorevo, 98 m according to the canton's protected-areas site. Kravica is the other direction. Tours from Sarajevo take 10 to 12 hours, and a travel blog puts the drive at about 3 hours each way.
Ready for the one fall with tours?
The Kravica page has the gate prices, the hours by month, the rules and a table to choose between the two tour pages.
Data verified on . Catalog of 40 tours read on 22 Oct 2026. Heights and rules from Una NP, Sutjeska NP, kravica.ba, Sarajevo protected-areas site, Via Dinarica and Wikipedia.
