Bosnia’s Kravica Waterfall is almost 400 feet across and has an 82-foot drop. It’s a great place for swimming and visiting the nearby Ljubski winery.
The Perućica Forest can be found near the border with Montenegro and is one of the last primeval forests in Europe. The tallest Norway Spruce is located in this forest.
The Tekija Dervish Monastery, built in the 16th century by order of the sultan, sits on a 600-foot cliff at the largest source of water in the country. No longer in operation, it is a popular tourist destination and houses the tombs of two long-term sheiks.
