Kravica Waterfall located on the Trebižat River around 40 kilometers from Mostar and about three kilometers from the town of Ljubuški in Herzegovina. This is another great stop on the way to Croatia from Bosnia or as day trip from Mostar, Dubrovnik or Split. We stopped here on our way to Split and Mostar and spent couple of hours enjoying the beautiful waterfalls and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. The waterfall at the top has the shape of a semicircle about 120 meters wide, and is composed of travertine.
The trail to Kravica Waterfalls is relatively short and accessible. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the parking area to the falls. The path is well-marked and mostly downhill, making it an easy and enjoyable hike

Kravica Nature Park Train Ride
Kravica Nature Park has its own mini train that takes visitors on a tour of the park. The train ride is a great way to see all that the Nature Park has to offer, and it’s perfect for those who don’t want to walk. The train ride lasts about 5 minutes and makes stops at several points in the park, including the waterfall itself. A train ride is a great option for those with children, as it’s a fun way for them to explore the park.
Tabak Museum and Restaurant
After spending a few hours at the Kravica waterfalls, we decided to stop at the Tabak Museum and Restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is located about a 10-minute drive from the waterfalls in Ljubuški, at 18 Fra. Nikola Ivanković Street, in the Heart of Herzegovina. The food at this place was amazing with local dishes for both meat eaters as well as vegetarians.
The added attraction of this place is that it serves both a restaurant and a museum, providing guests with an opportunity to indulge in a diverse menu while immersing themselves in the rich history of the region. Visitors can enjoy a dining experience that showcases local flavors, making it a perfect spot for those looking to savor authentic cuisine. The museum aspect adds an educational element, allowing patrons to learn more about the local heritage and traditions. The Tabak Museum and Restaurant is a delightful destination for tourists seeking both good food and a glimpse into the cultural tapestry of Ljubuški.
The restaurant and museum is located in the last tobacco factory in Herzegovina where you can see the world history of tobacco including photos of world-famous smokers, tobacco advertising, cuban cigars history, the influence of Austria-Hungary on the areas, information about tobacco factories, cigarette and tobacco packaging, smoking accessories including match books, as well as numerous literatures on the topic of tobacco. Tobacco users today can see all possible cigarettes and matches from this area in one place. From “Opatija” to “Croatia”f From “Drina” to “Vardar”, later the banned “Filter 170”, whose packaging most closely resembled “Marlboro”, to the partisan “Zeta” of the “Boris Kidrič” Tobacco Plant from Gjilan, then “Benston”, “Lord”, “Ibar”, “Drava”… and finally domestic products “Ljubuški, Look and Blend”. It is a fascinating place that also serves great food. Everyone in our group really enjoyed this place.
