Krupa na Vrbasu is a small village about 25 km south of Banja Luka, on the scenic road through the Vrbas canyon. Its little Krupa river tumbles over a series of clear waterfalls past wooden watermills, some of which still grind grain, so you can buy fresh flour or eat trout by the water. Nearby are an Orthodox monastery with medieval roots, a necropolis of stećci, the ruins of the Greben watchtower on a canyon ridge, and a rare wooden church from 1735 in the village of Tovilovići.
