Through raging waters and in dark caves

On Wednesday, our canoe rafting tour on the Mrežnica River was scheduled. We hadn't even sat in the canoe properly when we went down the first few meters of a waterfall. Besides the beautiful landscape, the absolute highlight was a 7.5m high waterfall - and yes, after some hesitation, we overcame our fear and actually jumped down! What an experience! After about 2.5 hours, we were completely exhausted and treated ourselves to a big break after a delicious picnic in the afternoon.

The next day, we went underground - into the Barač Caves, which were used for defense in wars as early as the 15th century. Today, they serve as a habitat for countless bats, some of which even made an appearance in the cave. In the end, there was a short demonstration of absolute darkness - impressive and frightening at the same time - before we returned to daylight.

From there, we visited the picturesque historic city center of Rastoke in the city of Slunj.
