Beyond the main tourist attractions, hidden in a rural area between Rastoke Village and Plitvice Lakes National Park, lies the Natural Monument Mreznica River. This conservation area features a dense forest covering the canyon, a river surrounded by cliffs, and a habitat for brown trout, beavers, turtles, and birds—accessible only by kayak.
The source of the Mreznica River is just 12 km upstream from civilization, yet it provides clean, drinkable water. Surrounded by untouched nature, emerald-green waters, gentle rapids, and serene waterfalls, it is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in nature’s beauty.

5.00Kayaking the waterfalls was one of our favourite activities in Croatia. The guide was funny and had loads of information - the experience wasn't rushed. Felt very safe.... was exciting enough for an adventurous teenager with cheat options for a nervous parent!! Head to Rastoke after for food and river swimming
Amazing amazing experience!!!

5.00Fabulous time on the water. Angelo was the best: knowledgeable about the local area and river, gave us such fun and was great with the kids and made us feel safe throughout. Absolutely beautiful river and surroundings. Good safety briefing at all points with options depending on how much of a daredevil you want to be. We were mixed in our group! Would 100% recommend
Excellent experience and great value for money.
