Description
The Dobra River, with its unique beauty and crystal-clear waters, both originates and ends entirely within Croatia. Stretching approximately 104 kilometers, it was once one of the best rivers for wild water adventures, and still impresses with its untouched nature, endemic flora and fauna, and ideal fishing conditions. Its green and shallow waters offer the feeling of a true European jungle!
Your adventure begins with a cycling tour from Karlovac, following a scenic route to the Dobra River. Upon arrival at the kayaking starting point, you’ll enjoy local delicacies and healthy food before beginning an exciting kayak descent back towards Karlovac.
This trip is the perfect blend of cycling, kayaking, and the natural beauty of Croatia – ideal for friends, families, and lovers of active holidays.
