SIGHTS AND ATTRACTIONS:
River Zrmanja is one of the most beautiful rivers in Croatia. It springs in the southern part of Lika, and flows into the Novigrad Sea not far from Obrovac. It is known for its beautiful canyons and the most famous and impressive one is the one between Obrovac and just before river flows into the Novigrad Sea. This canyon is characterized by 200 m high cliffs that rise above the river and protected as natural geomorphological monument.
Jankovića buk is the last waterfall on the river Zrmanja. It can be reached by boat through the Zrmanja canyon and it is a famous picnic and swimming location. The remains of the former mills reveal the once important mill tradition on this waterfall.

The trip begins in Novigrad, a small picturesque town near Zadar, located on the southern coast of the Novigrad Sea. It is located below the remains of an ancient fortress dating to the 13th century.

All the way you will be surrounded by 200 m high cliffs, so you will be able to enjoy the unique views of this karst landscape but also see the remains of some historical fortifications.
