Skakavac nature park and waterfall

Sarajevo is one of the rare European cities where such pristine nature can be found just a hop, skip, and jump away. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s largest, continually flowing waterfall is just 12 kilometers due north of the city center. Skakavac Vodopad, or Grasshopper Falls, plunges 96 meters down a slippery limestone cliff. The two-hour walk from the small village of Nahorevo (take local bus number 69 from Sutjeska Road to the end of the line) is a pleasant and easy one. The walk is marked with an occasional map and resting spots. At the halfway mark, there is a rustic café operated by a friendly man named Dragan. He serves coffee, herbal tea, and local spirits and a decent assortment of local food. From his place, there is a beautiful and well-marked circuit walk to just below the waterfall and then a steady climb above it for a birds eye view as well.
