Canoeing

The canoe excursion is ideal for all generations. Without regard to their age, everyone can enjoy the easy rowing through the calm parts of river. The colorful landscape winding through the field offers you a chance to pass the relaxing moments in the canues.
The most beautiful Croatian rivers run through the karstic areas, which means that they abound in limestone barriers and waterfalls, which in turn, due to the abundance of rain and sun, are bordered by lush vegetation. During the dry season the waterfalls retain sufficient water among the limestone barriers to ensure pleasant sailing by canoe, kayak, or indeed for diving. Rivers lose neither their clarity nor their green hue except during the heavy spring and autumn rains. One is hard pressed to find easier to
navigate and yet at the same time more interesting rivers to be negotiated by canoe, complemented by magical sites in which to pitch your tent or to do some recreational fishing.
The rivers, and their wondrous canyons, are never far from the tourist oriented shores, although their relief and biological characteristics differ greatly from those found along the coastline. Taking advantage of this vicinity, coastal tourist destinations frequently organize one-day excursions to the rivers, and since the guides are experienced rowers one does not need the strength needed for rowing, or experience. Indeed, such a river excursion is suitable for the whole family.
Canoeing on the rivers of Croatia can also provide memorable cultural experiences. The monasteries of Visovac, Holy Archangel are located amid the green environs of the River Krka, while the Radman Mills (Radmanove mlinice)
on the River Cetina represent an interesting entity of popular architecture, as do the mills on the River Krka. The massive fortress of Knin and the remains of Roman Burnum are also encircled by the Krka.
In Croatia the tradition of canoeing is centuries old. Remains of primitive canoes carved out of tree trunks have been found in the Plitvice lakes.
Canoeing on most rivers and lakes is subject to certain restrictions in order to ensure protection of plant and animal communities or geological formations. The management teams of protected areas and organizers of commercial trips can provide reliable information, assistance in organizing canoe trips and in acquiring the necessary camping permits. |
