Pliva Waterfall
Plivski vodopad
The Pliva River plunges into the Vrbas River at the foot of Jajce's old town. This roughly 20-meter waterfall within the town is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's best-known scenic sights.
The waterfall lies right beneath the walls of Jajce's old town. The Pliva River leaps from a travertine terrace into the Vrbas River, about 17 to 22 meters high. The castle, bell tower and waterfall in one frame is the classic picture of Jajce. The main viewpoint is on the roadside across the Vrbas River, and it is free. A paid trail (admission about 4 to 5 KM) leads down to a platform at the foot of the falls, where you can get close to the mist. The water is most impressive during spring snowmelt, and there is night lighting. It is about a 10-minute walk from the old town.
