Herzegovina is a region of incredible natural beauty with shaggy mountains, beautiful lakes, and blue rivers. One of its gems is the Kravice waterfalls near the town of Ljubuški, close to the border with Croatia. It is here that the river Trebižat pours itself 28 meters down to a pool of brightest blue water where you can fish and swim in the summertime. The waterfalls are situated in a half circle of 120 meters wide and through green trees offering an immensely beautiful sight.

Are there still people who do not know there was a war in Bosnia from 1992 until 1995? Are there still people who haven’t heard of terrible things that happened during that war? No, there is no need to tell those stories again since they have been retold countless times. However, who knows what that war was like? Who knows how war looks like? In Mostar, signs of war are still seen everywhere, especially along the former front lines with the remains of more destroyed houses than standing ones. Unless you have been living in a wonderland or are unaware of the invention of television, you can guess that a war happened here.
