Pliva Waterfall, Waterfall at confluence of Pliva and Vrbas rivers in Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Pliva Waterfall forms where the Pliva River meets the Vrbas, creating a single vertical drop that rises directly from the town center of Jajce. The water plunges down in one continuous stream, forming a striking visual feature within the city.
The waterfall sits at the location of one of Europe's earliest power stations, built in the late 1800s to harness its flow. This early engineering project shaped the industrial development of the region.
The falls serve as a gathering place where local people come to swim and cool off during warm seasons. It holds a casual significance in the town's daily rhythm, drawing both visitors and residents to its edge.
The waterfall is visible from various points around town, with several paths leading to closer viewpoints along the water's edge. It is advisable to wear sturdy footwear, as paths can become slippery, especially after rain or during wetter months.
The waterfall was once easily reached directly from the old town, but modern development shifted how people access it today. Now visitors must navigate old stairs and hidden paths to reach the traditional viewpoints that many tourists overlook.
