Who it suits
Is this tour right for you?
✕Not ideal for
People with a severe fear of heights. Anyone with limited mobility, since the approach itself is a real hike.
◇Guide advice
Wear hiking boots for the approach through Skakavac Nature Park, not just climbing shoes. Bring water for the walk in, which takes about 30 minutes each way. Ask your guide about adding the short detour to the Skakavac waterfall.
Route and terrain
The line is indicative. Your guide confirms the live route after weather, access and terrain checks.
