    Ogulin is the homeland of fairy tales. As a storyteller and tour guide I am very familiar with the local stories and legends. Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić Croatia's most popular children's writer was born here, and many enjoy my storytelling of her fairy tales and local tales. People also enjoy the natural and cultural sites in the town that inspired her books.

  2. Kayaking on Upper Mreznica River - Slunj, Croatia, Plitvice Lakes National Park5

    5. Kayaking on Upper Mreznica River - Slunj, Croatia

    4.9· 178 reviews· 3 hours

    The Upper Mreznica Canyon is a truly wild and beautiful gem, away from the tourist crowds of Zagreb and Plitvice. The river forms travertine barriers, so that we have 15 waterfalls on just 3km of river. The highest fall is 8m high - you can jump down into it or walk around. The river creates pools of warm water between the falls, which make for perfect refreshment, and for some easy paddling to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Kayaking is the best way to enjoy this stunning spot of nature, because it combines easy floating down the river with some fun - riding down the waterfalls. Even if you have never done it, believe us, it‘s fantastic and your guide will keep you safe! Because the water is calm between the falls, and we don't have long sections of paddling, this trip is suitable for almost everyone - children from 6 y.o. up to seniors. On the waterfalls, your guide directs each boat individually, to make sure you get down in a fun and safe way.
