A group of small wooden watermills, called Mlinčići by locals, standing on stilts over streams and little cascades between the Great and Small Pliva Lakes, about 4 kilometres west of Jajce. The mills go back at least to the 16th century: an Ottoman census of 1562 counted 24 mills on the Pliva, rising to 26 in the 17th century. They ground grain for the people of the area and were built of oak by skilled local carpenters. They were declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2009. It is one of the country's loveliest rural scenes: wooden huts under steep plank roofs, clear water rushing between them in small falls, wooden walkways and footbridges over the streams, and shady trees all around. Nearby, the calm Pliva Lakes lie between the mountains, popular for picnics, rowing and walks. The visit is free per visitor guides and the site is always open; it is reached by car or taxi from Jajce, or on foot along the lakes road. The wooden walkways are slippery when wet.
