ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION
The Trebižat riverbank is the quieter companion to the cascade — the green banks of the river above and below the falls, where the water that builds the horseshoe can be walked and seen away from the main viewing platforms. The Trebižat runs through the karst of western Herzegovina, and its banks give a gentler view of the river and the vegetation, and a walk that complements the focused sight of the waterfall. The exact coordinates of a single canonical visitor point on the riverbank are not independently verified here, so the riverbank is left unlocated on the map; it runs above and below the falls.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND
The story behind it
The Trebižat is the river that builds Kravica, running through the karst of western Herzegovina and tumbling over the limestone cliff at the falls. Its banks have long been a quieter counterpart to the cascade, walked by visitors who want the river away from the main viewing platforms, and the green vegetation along the banks is part of what makes the horseshoe so photographed.
