Description

Mreznica River consists of a long row of waterfalls, including the second highest of the entire river, which is 8 m. Cascade waterfalls create pools of warm water between them, which make for perfect refreshment away from the coast and the beach crowd. Rafting/kayaking on river Mreznica takes 2 - 3 hours and has elements of Canyoning (natural water slides, showering under waterfalls, jumping from high cliffs, walking through the canyon).

From 2024 the upper part of Mreznica River has been declared as Nature monument "Mrežnica-Tounjčica". As a organizer of Kayak trips on that part we have concession from the Public Institution Natura Viva and we have to follow special requirements such a nature protection, using the special type of kayaks, organizing of our tours with smaller groups (max 20), watching that all our guests leaves no any garbage in that area and many more.
