Skakavac Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Foča Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Skakavac Waterfall is a cascading waterfall in Foča Municipality that plunges over steep limestone rock faces. The white water stream drops significantly and can be viewed from multiple angles along the surrounding terrain.
The waterfall has shaped the landscape of the Foča region for centuries as a natural landmark known to local populations. The limestone formation over which it flows developed through geological processes over extended periods.
Local residents gather near the waterfall for outdoor activities and social events, maintaining traditions of community gatherings in natural settings.
Appropriate hiking footwear is necessary to safely access the waterfall, as the pathways can become slippery depending on weather conditions. The trails are easier to navigate when ground conditions are dry, particularly after heavy rainfall.
Water flow at this site changes noticeably between seasons, transforming from a powerful surge during spring snowmelt into a more gentle trickle in summer months. These seasonal variations make each visit feel different depending on when you arrive.
