I Swam Across, Flew Over, Dived Into, And Hiked Along The Fabulous Rivers Of Croatia

ADVERTISEMENT

I swam across, flew over, dived into, and hiked along the fabulous rivers of Croatia. I did that to write a book and make a film about Croatian rivers.

Maybe no other European country has such diverse, yet so preserved rivers as Croatia. Adriatic coast is world-known, crystal clear sea, rocky coastline with ancient stone towns like Dubrovnik…The sea is however not the only richness of the Croatia. Its rivers are surely one of the most important values. From murky and slow lowland rivers that flood huge floodplains; through short and fast mountainous rivers that flush on rapids; then rivers in Karlovac region with travertine waterfalls and slow, almost marshy parts with lush vegetation; quiet rivers in karst polje that are lost in the dark underground only to spring at other place; until big Adriatic rivers in deep barren canyons with waterfalls, that meet the sea in narrow estuaries like Zrmanja or wide delta like Neretva.
