Why Jajce matters

Jajce is one of the few places where a waterfall crashes down in the middle of a town. The old town climbs a steep hill topped by a fortress, with stone gates, churches and tombs. The nearby Pliva lakes, with wooden watermills, are a lovely short trip. It is small, authentic and rarely crowded.

Talking points

  • A waterfall falls directly into the town where two rivers meet.
  • A hilltop fortress overlooks the old town.
  • The Pliva lakes and watermills are nearby.
