Weekday vs weekend

  • Weekdays are the best time to visit if you’re looking for a peaceful experience. The site tends to be quieter in the mornings, especially on Mondays through Thursdays. 
  • On weekends, especially during the summer, it becomes quite busy with both international tourists and local families, making an early arrival a smart choice to avoid the crowds.

Seasons of Kravica waterfalls

  • The peak tourist season at Kravica Waterfall is between June and September. During this time, the weather is ideal for swimming, the falls are full-flowing, and all restaurants and shops are open. However, the area can get very crowded, and prices for accommodation and tours tend to rise. 
  • The low season, from November to March, offers a completely different experience. The waterfall is more peaceful, the crowds disappear, and you can enjoy nature in near solitude. Spring (April–May) is particularly beautiful, with the falls fed by snowmelt and wildflowers blooming along the riverbanks, making it an excellent time to visit if you prefer fewer crowds without compromising on scenery.
