Skakavac Waterfall

High forest waterfall north of Sarajevo, reached by hiking routes through protected hills.

Skakavac Waterfall is one of Sarajevo's best nature escapes, dropping through forested hills north of the city. The outing is about the walk as much as the falls: cool woods, mountain air, and a sharp change from the dense streets of the basin.

It is close enough for a day trip but not a casual city-centre stroll. Go with proper footwear, water, and current route information, especially outside summer or after wet weather.
