Pliva Waterfall

The Pliva Waterfall is situated where the Pliva and Vrbas rivers converge close to the town of Jajce in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The waterfall is a sizable tufa, often referred to as a travertine barrier, that cascades over 22 meters onto the Pliva river in a restricted karstic zone that closely resembles the Pliva course before retracting into a flysch and limestone contact zone. Originally 30 meters high, it is currently only 22 meters high due to flooding caused by an earthquake during the Bosnian War and attacks on a power station upstream.

The waterfall and other individual sites outside the walled city's boundaries, such as the Jajce Mithraeum, are considered to be part of the natural and architectural ensemble of Jajce and are being recommended for placement on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.

You simply follow the river west from Jajce in an effort to reach this destination. The trail along the riverbank where the journey begins is immediately followed by a climb up to the road. There is barely any elevation change during the entire route. You'll travel by spots of woodland, see lesser waterfalls, and cross a magnificent wooden bridge along the way. Despite the fact that a big portion of the walk is on a road, it is a rather tranquil highway with little traffic (on the weekend at least). The pathway splits off into tunnels and forest paths in some places.
