Majerovo Vrilo (Gacka Source)
Majerovo vrilo
The crystal-clear karst spring of the Gacka River, beside which restored wooden water mills stand. It is the most photogenic rural scene in the Lika region.
The Gacka is one of Europe's clearest rivers, rising from many karst springs. The most famous is Majerovo Vrilo, where emerald pools are surrounded by several restored wooden water mills, with water flowing through them. The surrounding Gacka Valley is known for trout, which you can sample at local restaurants. The spring is in the village of Sinac near Otočac, about 35 km from the Sixteen Lakes. Admission is free, and it is a good stop on a drive.
