    Did you know?

    Kravica Waterfall is one of the largest waterfalls in the region, standing approximately 25 meters (82 feet) tall and spanning around 120 meters (394 feet) wide.

    The waterfall forms a stunning natural amphitheater, with its semicircular shape and cascading waters creating a picturesque scene.

    The waterfall is a result of the Trebižat River depositing tufa, a form of limestone, over thousands of years. This geological process has created the unique and intricate formations seen today.
