What you are going to see
Kravice is a semicircle of waterfalls on the Trebižat river. The official site gives the height as 28 m and describes the river forming an amphitheatre about 120 m wide. The falls are 3 km downstream from the village of Hrašljani. The water drops into a wide pool below. Wikipedia gives the height as 25 m and describes a single drop, so measurements differ by source and water level. We use the official 28 m.
The river and the tufa
The falls sit on the Trebižat. The official site says the river flows through limestone country and deposits tufa, a soft porous rock, which is what builds the lip of the falls. Wikipedia adds that moss growing over the tufa helps it accumulate more of the rock, so the barrier keeps growing slowly. The site describes the Trebižat as rich in waterfalls and clear water, with plenty of trout and other fish. Wikipedia describes lush surroundings and a rich riverside habitat, and notes a small cave with stalactites and an old mill nearby.
The site is run by a public company, Javno poduzeće Parkovi d.o.o. Ljubuški, according to the official page. Wikipedia records that the falls were once owned by Zaim-beg Selimić, a landowner and philanthropist from Ljubuški.
It is the one place on the Herzegovina loop where you can get in the water, which is why it is so popular on hot days. Mostar’s average high is about 33 C in July and August, so a swim is welcome after a morning in town.
Entry fee
The official visitor list shows a single price. An adult ticket is 20 KM all year. Bosnian residents pay 10 KM, student groups aged 7 to 18 pay 10 KM, and under-7s go free (checked October 2026). The ticket also covers the Koćuša waterfall and the museum at Humac monastery. Euro City Guide quotes 18 KM in the shoulder season, but the official list shows 20 KM, so go with that.
One KM is pegged at 1.95583 to the euro, which makes 20 KM roughly €10. Take cash in case card payment is not working on the day.
What else your ticket covers
The single price includes two other places run by the same operator: the Koćuša waterfall and the Franciscan museum at Humac. The official site names both but gives few details, and we have not visited them, so treat them as optional extras if you have time. The official page also offers a link to buy tickets online.
Opening hours by month
The official site lists these hours (checked October 2026):
- January, February, November, December: 07:00 to 17:00

Check kravica.ba before you set off, as hours can change.
Parking
If you drive, parking is charged per started hour: 3 KM for cars (6 KM for the day), 4 KM for campers, 3 KM for motorbikes and 10 KM for buses (30 KM for the day). Rules on the site ban open fires, littering and selling food and drink in the car park.
Swimming, picnics and facilities
The official page says you can swim in the amphitheatre below the falls during the summer period, and calls the place a favourite Herzegovinian picnic area and summer swimming spot. Wikipedia mentions a small cafe, a rope swing, a campsite and nearby restaurants serving grilled dishes and fish in high season. Wikipedia also says spring is when the falls are fullest and greenest, while summer brings the most visitors. We have not verified individual restaurants, toilets or shuttle services, so ask on arrival.
Swimming and safety
Swimming is at your own risk. The park accepts no liability for injuries or theft, and pets are not allowed in the bathing areas. The official page also cautions about landslides, so keep to marked paths and take notice of any signs. Wet rock is slippery, so wear shoes with grip.
Getting there from Mostar
Kravice is about 40 km west of Mostar and about 35 to 40 minutes by car. If you hire a car in Bosnia, UK drivers need the 1968 International Driving Permit as well as their licence. Our getting there page covers the practical side.
Without a car, a tour is the simplest route. One tour from Mostar covers Blagaj, Počitelj and the falls in about 8 hours. Another goes only to the falls and takes about 5.5 hours, which suits a summer swim. From the coast, tours such as the Dubrovnik trip that combines Mostar and Kravice take 11 to 12 hours, as the Mostar from Dubrovnik page explains.
Fitting it into your trip
Most visitors pair the falls with Blagaj and Počitelj, which sit on the way. See the day trips overview for how the loop works, the day tours page to compare options, and best time to visit for seasons.
