Pliva Waterfall, Jajce
Vodopad Plive
The Pliva River drops about 22 metres beneath the old town of Jajce before joining the Vrbas, a rare 'waterfall in the town.'
Jajce is about 70 km from Banja Luka by road, and Pliva Waterfall sits right at the foot of the old town. The river drops about 22 metres from a travertine cliff into the Vrbas River, forming one of the most classic views in Bosnia and Herzegovina, together with the castle and old town walls. A small fee applies at the viewing platform below the falls, where steps lead to the mist. A free viewpoint across the road is good for panoramic photos. Buses from Banja Luka take about 1.5 to 2 hours, or you can hire a car. The trip is commonly combined with the old town and the watermills of the Pliva Lakes into a day tour.
Opening hours
