Ljubuški is a highly scenic town located in western Herzegovina, deeply influenced by a warm Mediterranean climate and characterized by exceptionally fertile plains and rolling hills. The absolute main attraction of the entire region is undoubtedly the Kravica waterfall on the Trebižat River, which draws tens of thousands of tourists annually with its spectacular horseshoe-shaped structure and crystal-clear waters. High above the town sits the ancient fortress of Duke Stjepan (Tvrđava herceg Stjepana), representing a highly significant and impressive medieval monument. Economically, Ljubuški has a strong agricultural focus, particularly excelling in viticulture and the widespread cultivation of olives and figs, which gives the region a truly authentic Mediterranean character.
