The experience

Your day starts at the base camp, where the gear is waiting: a life jacket, a helmet, shoes, and a guide who covers safety from the terrace while you look out over the water. Then you push off into the canyon, the only way to explore this river.

The first stop is the highest waterfall on the Mrežnica, 8 to 9 metres tall. You can climb onto the rocks for a jump or simply take a swim. Just below it, hidden behind the drops of water, sits a small cave, and beside it a natural slide carved out of the water. A short break halfway lets you swim again before more rowing and more waterfalls.

The trip ends at the Tržić Bridge, and a shuttle carries you back to the base camp. Along the way you visit the Mrežnica-Tounjčica nature monument, a protected area, where the untouched nature feels like a small piece of paradise.
