Skakavac Waterfall

Vodopad Skakavac

Waterfall 12 km north of the city, above the Nahorevo Village. At 98 m in height, it is among the tallest waterfalls in Europe. Located in an area of exceptional natural beauty, surrounded by lush forests of spruce, beech and fir forests, the waterfall is worth a day trip if weather permits. A wooden pedestrian bridge takes visitors under the waterfall.

Getting there: take bus 69 from Sutjeska, near the train station, to Nahorevo, from where you either walk or try to hitchhike (which mostly makes sense during the weekend, when also locals head here); most people will only go up to where the paved road stops – however, there is another parking option 1–2 km further along on the dirt road
