Pocitelj Road Trip - Medieval Tower & Swimming in a Waterfall

Exploring Bosnia’s hidden gems: Studenci & Capljina! 😍 If you’re up for a mix of epic nature and medieval charm, this route is pure gold. Main highlights? Chilly-but-gorgeous Kravica Waterfall and the ancient fortress town of Počitelj—trust me, the views from the medieval tower are worth every stair!

Must-See Spots:
1. Kravica Waterfall (Studenci, Bosnia & Herzegovina, 07:00-20:30): This place looks straight out of a fantasy novel! Even if the water is ice-cold, bring a towel and brave it—especially in summer. The falls are easiest to hit if you’re driving, and there’s plenty of parking. Pro tip: Come early for fewer crowds and better photos. There’s a small fee, but it’s totally worth it for the lush scenery.

2. Počitelj (Capljina area, Bosnia and Herzegovina): Wander through cobbled alleys lined with quirky cafes and lots of friendly cats. Climb the medieval tower for unbeatable river views—entry is free! Don’t rush; soaking up the old-world vibe with a coffee is half the fun. This spot is a UNESCO World Heritage site, so linger to really take it in.

Getting Around: A rental car from Mostar is the ultimate hack—flexible, fast, and lets you juggle waterfall dips and fortress climbs easily! Roads are decent, just keep cash handy for tiny rural tolls or snacks.

Food Tip: The local cafes in Počitelj serve strong Bosnian coffee and fresh pastries—don’t skip breakfast here!

Other Essentials: Bosnia uses the Convertible Mark; bring some cash. Weather is unpredictable, so pack layers. No visa needed for most Western travelers.
