Legends surrounding it

There is an Illyria, Illyrian legend surrounding the Bliha falls;
All of humanity, except for a brother and two sisters was wiped out. To continue mankind, the three had to have children together. One of the sisters, named Bliha, was so sad because her brother had impregnated her that she jumped off a cliff, and turned into the river, which created this waterfall, promptly named "Bliha's jump." The other sister turned into tears, and she now flows through Sanski Most quietly.
