ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Walking the Trebižat riverbank is the quieter way to take in the river that builds Kravica. The green banks above and below the falls give a gentler view of the Trebižat, away from the main viewing platforms, and a pleasant walk that complements the focused sight of the horseshoe. The river runs through the karst of western Herzegovina, and its banks are part of what makes the falls so green and so photographed. The exact coordinates of a single canonical visitor point on the riverbank are not independently verified here, so the walk is left unlocated on the map; the banks run above and below the falls.

WHAT TO EXPECT
