1StarCroatia – Zrmanja River

⭐⭐⭐ In South America you can see bigger and longer river for less money ⭐⭐⭐

This traveller went easy on river Zrmanja and gave it as much as a three-stars-review… even though, as he says, it’s more expensive than in Africa, and you can see longer rivers in South America.

You should take this review very seriously. If you’re coming to Croatia for the rivers, better change your plans. There are only 30-ish rivers that are longer than 40 km, and that’s still nothing when compared to, let’s say, Amazon. Croatia’s many river springs only make the country one of the richest sources of drinking water – nothing special about plain water if you ask me. If Zrmanja is one of the visually most stunning rivers of Croatia, with it’s green and blue serpent-like shape carved deep into rocks, than you know you should just turn around and not even bother visiting any rivers of Croatia.

1StarCroatia – River Krka

If this is the famous Roški slap, then my name is Angelina Jolie.

Roški Slap waterfalls in Krka National Park can thank Angelina Jolie for the bad publicity – she obviously wasn’t very impressed and she let everybody know that, just look at the post above!
Take her advice and simply don’t bother. Skip yet another picturesque spot, since there are by far too many in Croatia anyway.

This particular part of the river Krka is surrounded by mills that could transport you back through time, viewpoints, unusual cascades commonly called “Necklace”… Why would the locals have a reason to compare that part of the river with pearls?… well, what do they know? Angelina and some others didn’t approve.
