Kravica Waterfall

1. Kravica Waterfall

4.6 (31,565)
TouristenattraktionNationalparkParkSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

At one of Europe's largest natural waterfall pools, leap from the top of the falls and experience the wildest summer. Step along the path, plunge into the emerald waters amid the thunderous roar, or grab a beer at the floating bar and enjoy nature's most generous gift.

Schnelle Fakten: Dieser 120 Meter breite Wasserfall hat einen Höhenunterschied von etwa 25 Metern. In der Sommerzeit, wenn die Wassermenge reichlich ist, stürzen pro Minute fast 3000 Kubikmeter Wasser hinab. Im Sommer ist das Wasser hier angenehm temperiert und der Wasserfall ist ein beliebter natürlicher Pool für Einheimische und Touristen. Der Sprung von der Spitze des Wasserfalls in das smaragdgrüne Wasser lässt garantiert den Adrenalinspiegel steigen.

Highlights: Das Coolste ist, dass du entlang des Weges auf der Wasserfallspitze bis zur Mitte gehen und dann in den glasklaren natürlichen Pool unten springen kannst. Diese Erfahrung ist in den meisten Wasserfallgebieten verboten. Im Sommer gibt es außerdem eine kleine schwimmende Bar im Wasser, zu der du direkt hinschwimmen und ein eiskaltes Bier bestellen kannst, wenn dir vom Schwimmen müde geworden bist. So etwas Angenehmes gibt es auf der Welt.

2. Franciscan Monastery of St. Anthony

GebetsstätteAssociation Or OrganizationSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

Inside a monastery, more than 600 nativity scenes from around the world are hidden, more stunning than any museum. Walk through the stone-carved underground grotto and feel as if you have instantly traveled back to Bethlehem a thousand years ago.

Schnelle Fakten: This Franciscan monastery houses the world's largest collection of nativity scene models, with over 600 pieces. The monastery also features a miniature replica of the "Golden Gate," inspired by the famous bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery of San Giovanni.

Highlights: In the monastery's underground crypt lies a grotto handcrafted from 500,000 natural stones, recreating the appearance of the Bethlehem manger. Each stone comes from a different country, said to have been brought by pilgrims carrying soil and rocks from their own homelands.

3. Museum of Hercegovina

4.8 (308)
MuseumSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

Travel through the long history of Herzegovina in a thousand-year-old castle. Touch Roman mosaics, examine Ottoman scimitars, and stand atop the tower to overlook the canyon scenery.

Schnelle Fakten: This museum is located within the ruins of a medieval castle belonging to the dukes of Herzegovina, with 14th-century walls and towers still standing. The collection includes over 3,000 artifacts, ranging from Illyrian pottery to Ottoman weapons and traditional costumes, spanning thousands of years of history.

Highlights: Hidden beneath the museum courtyard lies the complete ruins of an ancient Roman villa, with floor mosaics so well preserved that the geometric patterns from 2,000 years ago still retain their vivid colors. Standing on the castle tower and looking out, the Trebizat River winds through a limestone canyon, and from this vantage point you can see the bell towers of four medieval churches at once.

Bring cash. Most places don't take cards. There's one ATM near the main square but it ran out of money once.

Skip the restaurants right on the main square. Walk two streets back toward the river for half the price and better food.

Food was decent but nothing mind blowing. The grilled meat at that place near the bridge was solid though.

If you drive, park outside the old center. The streets are super narrow and parking fills up by 10am.
