Rivers of Croatia are the real treasure of this country. Adriatic coast is world-known, with crystal clear sea, rocky coastline with ancient stone towns like Dubrovnik...However the see is not the only treasure of Croatia. Rivers are undoubtedly one of the most important values. From murky and slow lowland rivers that flood vast floodplains; through short and fast mountainous rivers that flush on rapids; then rivers in Karlovac region with travertine (tufa) 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. Since they are diverse and untouched, they are oases of life containing preserved biotopes with rare and endangered species on the European level. Written by
