Skakavac Waterfall
Vodopad Skakavac
A waterfall of nearly 100 meters in a nature reserve north of Sarajevo, ideal for a half-day forest hike.
Skakavac Waterfall drops about 98 meters, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It lies in the reserve of the same name, about 12 km north of Sarajevo. From the parking area near the village of Nahorevo, follow a forest path for 1 to 1.5 hours to reach the base of the falls. The trail is moderately difficult, so wear hiking boots. Water flow peaks during spring snowmelt and thins out by late summer. There is no public transport, so you will need a car or a taxi, and the mountain road is narrow. The reserve charges a small entrance fee.
