Land of Many Sparkling Waterfalls

Bosnia & Herzegovina, a land of mountains, valleys and rivers, is characterized by pristine nature, especially dramatic waterfalls. Since Bosnia & Herzegovina is a mostly mountainous country, rivers and waterways as natural companions of mountains are everywhere, and sooner or later they lead us to waterfalls. Here is the list of the country’s 7 most attractive waterfalls (among many others):

• Kravice Waterfalls are a cascade on the River Trebižat, in Herzegovina, about a 30-minute drive from Mostar. Their maximum height is about 25m.
