Many years ago, when I was interested in attractions in the Balkans, I found something incredibly beautiful, namely the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. Unfortunately, apart from its unquestionable advantages, this complex of waterfalls and lakes is full of tourists, admission to it is not one of the cheapest attractions and you cannot swim in them. Then I found information that in neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina there is a twin (well, maybe a little smaller) facility, where there are almost no tourists, admission is free and you can do whatever you want in it, i.e. swim wherever you want. This facility was the Kravica waterfalls located in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It so happened that after four days of constant driving through various mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was time for a little break. Our guide planned a regular drive to the aforementioned waterfall complex on asphalt roads and gave us half a day of free time. Because the day was very hot, even though the water in the waterfalls was very cold, I decided to swim in the lakes at the bottom of the waterfalls without a moment's hesitation. Interestingly, almost only small children were swimming in the water that day, which I don't know if it indicates that children are more resistant to low water temperatures? I don't know.

Jeszcze wiele lat temu gdy interesowałem się atrakcjami na Bałkanach odnalazłem cos niezwykle pięknego czyli Park Narodowy Jezior Plitwickich w Chorwacji. Niestety poza niekwestionowanymi zaletami, ten kompleks wodospadów i jezior pełen jest turystów, wstęp do niego nie należy do najtańszych atrakcji no i nie można w nich pływać. Wówczas znalazłem informacje, że w sąsiedniej Bośni i Hercegowinie znajduje się bliźniaczy ( no może trochę mniejszy) obiekt, w którym nie ma prawie wcale turystów, wstęp jest za darmo i można w nim robić co się tylko chce, znaczy pływać gdzie się chce. Tym obiektem były wodospady Kravica położone w południowej części Bośni i Hercegowiny. Tak się zlozyło, że po czterech dniach nieustannej jazdy po najróżniejszych górach Bośni i Hercegowiny przyszedł czas na nieco przerwy. Nasz przewodnik zaplanował nam zwykły dojazd drogami asfaltowymi do wspomnianego kompleksu wodospadów i dać pół dnia czasu wolnego. Ponieważ dzień był bardzo upalny, to pomimo że woda w wodospadach była bardzo zimna bez chwili zastanowienia zdecydowałem się na kąpiel w jeziorkach znajdujących się na dole wodospadów. Co ciekawe tego dnia w wodzie pływały niemal wyłącznie małe dzieci, co nie wiem świadczy o lepszej odporności dzieci na niska temperaturę wody ? Nie wiem.

The Kravica Waterfalls are actually a large water cascade on the Trebižat River, which is 25 meters high. And its length at the base is as much as 120 meters. Interestingly, the waterfall is currently privately owned and belongs to the Ljubuški city councilor called Zaim-beg Selimić. The downside is that currently the entrance to the waterfalls is no longer free, but the fee charged is not very high anyway. In exchange for the commercialization of this place, at the foot of the waterfalls there are cafes, restaurants, picnic areas, and a campsite and a camping site a little further away.

Wodpospady Kravica to tak naprawdę duża kaskada wodna na rzece Trebižat, którego wysokość wynosi 25 metrów. A jego długość u podstawy wynosi aż 120 metrów. Co ciekawe obecnie wodospad jest własnością prywatną i należy do radnego miasta Ljubuški który nazywa się Zaim-beg Selimić. Minus jest taki, że obecnie wejście nad wodospady nie jest już darmowe, ale pobierana opłata i tak nie jest jakaś bardzo wysoka. W zamian za komercjalizacje tego miejąca u podnóża wodospadów znajdują się kawiarnie, restauracje, miejsca piknikowe, a w trochę większej odległości kemping i pole namiotowe.

Plitvice falls I heard of them often I love so much Croatia I will go there next week by the way these falls are super!!
Such nice waterfalls! I hope they don't over-commercialize though and retain the surrounding natural beauty.
