🌿🏞 Wild Escape: Kravica Waterfall Adventure

📍 Where Is Kravica Waterfall?
Kravica Waterfall is located in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the town of Ljubuški, and just a short drive from Mostar (about 40 minutes). It’s also a popular day trip from Međugorje or even from Dubrovnik, Croatia (approx. 2.5 hours by car).

🌿 What Makes It Special?
This stunning 25-meter (82 ft) high waterfall forms a natural semi-circle, cascading into a turquoise basin surrounded by lush greenery. Unlike many waterfalls in Europe, you can actually swim here, which makes it a favorite in summer.
It’s like a natural open-air spa—complete with misty air, the sound of water crashing, and scenic views perfect for relaxation or adventure.
