Zrmanja canyon

For thousands of years, Zrmanja river has created one of the most beautiful canyons in Croatia - the impressive Zrmanja canyon. The canyon is protected as a significant landscape, so it is not surprising that every year many visitors come to enjoy its natural beauty. Numerous waterfalls and rapids on the upper course of the river are characteristic of the karst river. The most famous waterfalls are Jankovića buk, surrounded by the remains of old mills, Ogarov buk and attractive Veliki buk (13 m high waterfall). Zrmanja springs in the south of Lika at the foot of Poštak mountain, and it ends in Novigrad sea. Zrmanja is navigable for smaller ships from Novigrad sea up to the town of Obrovac. You can explore the beauties of the canyon of Zrmanja river by excursion boat, rafting, kayaking or canoeing. The canyon, vegetation, and nature that surrounds it will leave you breathless.
