Pliva Falls cascading from the town center have been included in the World Natural Heritage. The Pliva Falls - one of twelve most beautiful falls in the world - were formed 50.000 years ago. The Pliva River creates numerous tiny cascades, waterfalls, the last being a 20 m high waterfall – the symbol of Jajce Town and BiH. The waterfall height has decreased over time; there is evidence that it once plunged from 36 m, whereas today's height is reduced to 20 m.

The Pliva Lakes in Jajce are a picturesque place with emerald waters and wooden watermills. The Great Pliva Waterfall, cascading into the Small Pliva Lake, creates a breathtaking natural spectacle.

Jajce, in the central region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a historic city all about falling water. The little windowless huts sit on top of skinny stilts right over the gushing water. Since the flow here is spread out, by using a series of little mills instead of one big water wheel, the diffuse water power could be aggregated.
