Kravica Waterfall

1. Kravica Waterfall

4.6 (31,565)
Attrazione turisticaParco nazionaleParcoPunto di interesseIstituzione

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.

Fatti rapidi: Questa cascata larga 120 metri ha un dislivello di circa 25 metri. In estate, quando la portata d'acqua è abbondante, riversa quasi 3000 metri cubi d'acqua al minuto. La temperatura dell'acqua è piacevole in questa stagione, rendendola la piscina naturale preferita da locali e turisti. L'esperienza di tuffarsi dall'alto della cascata nelle acque verde smeraldo è sicuramente adrenalinica.

Punti salienti: La cosa più bella è che puoi camminare lungo il sentiero sulla cima della cascata fino al centro, e poi tuffarti nella limpida piscina naturale sottostante, un'esperienza vietata nella maggior parte dei parchi con cascate. In estate c'è anche un piccolo bar galleggiante sull'acqua, dove puoi nuotare direttamente per ordinare una birra ghiacciata. Esiste al mondo qualcosa di più piacevole?

2. Franciscan Monastery of St. Anthony

Luogo di cultoAssociation Or OrganizationPunto di interesseIstituzione

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.

Fatti rapidi: Questo convento francescano ospita la più grande collezione al mondo di presepi, con oltre 600 pezzi. All'interno del convento si trova anche una miniatura della "Porta d'Oro", ispirata alle celebri porte in bronzo del Battistero di San Giovanni a Firenze.

Punti salienti: Nella cripta del convento si nasconde una grotta realizzata a mano con 500.000 pietre naturali provenienti da diversi paesi, che riproduce l'aspetto della mangiatoia di Betlemme. Ogni pietra proviene da una nazione diversa e si dice che siano terra e rocce portate appositamente dai pellegrini dalle loro terre d'origine.

3. Museum of Hercegovina

4.8 (308)
MuseoPunto di interesseIstituzione

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.

Fatti rapidi: Questo museo sorge all'interno delle rovine del castello medievale dei duchi di Erzegovina, con mura e torri del XIV secolo ancora in piedi. La collezione conta oltre 3.000 reperti, dalla ceramica illirica alle armi e ai costumi tradizionali ottomani, attraversando millenni di storia.

Punti salienti: Sotto il cortile del museo si nasconde un sito completo di una villa romana sotterranea, i cui mosaici sul pavimento sono sorprendentemente ben conservati, con motivi geometrici di 2000 anni fa ancora nitidi. Dalla torre del castello si vede il fiume Trebižat serpeggiare nella gola calcarea, e lo sguardo abbraccia fino a quattro campanili di chiese medievali.

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.
