Fun facts about Jajce
The waterfall is said to have formed about 50,000 years ago. It was here long before people built the town of Jajce!
The wooden watermills at the Pliva Lakes show what life was like more than 400 years ago. Water once turned their wheels to grind grain.
Below the waterfall, the Pliva joins the Vrbas. Together they continue toward the Sava. Can you follow their route on the map?
