Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia: The highlights - TNT Magazine

Bosnia-Herzegovina has an image problem. Ravaged by civil war in the
1990s, the country is in serious need of a PR drive as most travellers
still associate it with its bloody recent history. Whisper it, but it’s
actually chock-full of hidden gems and it has an undiscovered feel
welcomed by intrepid travellers. Couple a trip with a visit to Croatia
and you’ll find none of the tourist hoards that swamp the Dalmatian
coast.Our introduction to the country provokes an, “Are you sure we’re in Bosnia?” reaction.The
Kravice Waterfall is an Eden-like wonder of multiple chutes gushing
into a turquoise lagoon, where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim in
the searing heat of summer. The falls are encrusted with grass and moss,
and are surrounded by luscious green hemp, figs and poplar trees, more
akin to a scene I’d expect to see in Hawaii rather than war-scarred
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
