Itinerary
& Highlights |
| |
Day 1- Saturday: Arrival to Korana Village in Plitvice Lakes National Park (transfer from Zagreb or Rijeka airport is available). Informal light-meal dinner in the evening by the river with the other group members.
Day 2: You cycle through forests, between hills and across green fields. This road will lead you to the Barac caves for a guided underground tour. After visiting the caves, there will be a time to relax and play. Return later in the afternoon to Korana Village in time to enjoy a traditional Croatian evening meal. (Please note that cycling the entire route may be too difficult for small children, but alternative arrangements can be made with the guide.).
Day 3: A day of hiking around the lakes and highest waterfalls in the national park.
Day 4: Expedition into canyon and waterfalls of Mreznica River, with lots of swimming and fun. This is the most beautiful part of the river, where the water temperature in Summer can reach 25 degrees Celsius. We travel down deep, narrow canyon and many waterfalls - up to 10 meters high.
Day 5 - Embark on a river kayaking expedition along the Korana River canyon, over numerous travertine waterfalls interspersed with calm, clear water. and plenty of opportunities to cool off with a swim. The journey meanders through a breathtaking landscape with narrow gorges, forests and open meadows. Later in the day explore numerous streams and waterfalls and mills of Rastoke, dine and relax in this romantic setting.
Day 6 - Heading south for canoeing down the magnificent wild-west-like canyons of Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers. Enjoy the easy rapids, swimming in crystal clear waters and shower under waterfalls.
Day 7 - A day to be spent at leisure in the Village, or as an alternative, taking a private trip in the park or travel to the nearby Bosnian town of Bihac for an unforgettable rafting trip on the Una River Canyon, culminating with a real Bosnian lunch and Turkish coffee – Please note that rafting will incur an additional charge of approx 60EUR per head, payable on site, and is dependent on suitable water levels.
If you would like to concentrate more on canoeing and possibly rafting, contact us for the Clear Rivers program. |
