Among numerous natural rarities, the most important microlocation on the river Trebižat is the Kravica waterfall, with a water amphitheater over 120 meters long. The waterfall is 28 meters high, and the travertine river forms a layer from top to bottom, covered with grass, moss and lichen. In the past, numerous mills were active next to the waterfall.
