Dubrovnik to Kravica Falls and Pocitelj: Private day trip

The Kravice Falls are situated on the Trebizat River. The area is a large lake surrounded by 25m waterfalls. The lake becomes shallow enough for visitors to take a dip in or even try out the rope swing. Although the water temperature is chilly year-round (around 8 degrees celsius), that doesn’t stop visitors from taking a swim in the crystal-clear water! Kravice Falls has a boardwalk to the base of the falls, a cafe, and a bar on its banks. Make your way to this natural hidden treasure to experience the best of the Balkans.

Pocitelj was likely built by King Stjepan Tvrtko I at the end of the 14th century, and served as the county capital. The town continued to develop under Ottoman rule, only losing its importance under the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century. During the Bosnian War, the town was severely damaged, and was named one of the world's 100 most endangered cultural heritage sites by the World Monuments Watch. Since 2000, Pocitelj has been protected by the government. Today, the steep cobbled streets are still lined with traditional stone houses. The beautiful 16th century Hajji Alijia Mosque was deliberately targeted during the war, and now that it’s been restored, exhibits photos of the damage. At the top of the hill is the partly ruined fortress, with its octagonal Gavrakapetan Tower and high ramparts, which you can climb for panoramic views of the area.
