For the thrill seekers, Croatia’s unspoiled countryside adds itself to bicycling and hiking, along with serious mountain climbing, while the amazing coastline and many rivers is ideal for nearly every type of water-sport imaginable, for example rafting.
Rafting as a mode of transport up and down watercourses also bears a lasting tradition in Croatia. Still, white-water rafting as a trendy kind of risky venture commenced only in the late 1980s and helped to draw notice to the stunning beauty of Croatian rivers which, up until that time, was known just to relatively few kayaking adventurers and fishermen.
The beginners of the Riverfree Club, pioneers of commercial trips over the rivers and experts on the watercourses of Croatia, did not expect the consequent grade of interest and the resulting popularity of rafting on rivers which do not abound with wild rapids and high waves. Even So, thousands of people have since savored their close confrontations with the unforgettable magic of rivers, of green river banks, steep canyons and crystal-clear depths.
Rivers in the continental parts of the country are flanked by heavy woods and by mounts, while those closer to the sea rise large green banks and deep and shady secret canyons. What they all have in common are greenish clear waters that one can look through right down to the river bed.
The range of difficultness of Croatia’s white waters is, on the average, range 3; just on the Rivers Dobra and Una can you take on grade 4 waters. The Cetina river is the most best recognized position for white water rafting. The mouth of the Cetina river opens up into the sea at Omis, a wonderful setting for a town, separated by a deep ravine which, after many kilometres of being fairly wide, closes in here to barely few metres wide.
