Zrmanja River Canyon
Kanjon Zrmanje
A karst canyon beneath the Velebit mountains, with emerald river water and tiered waterfalls; a popular spot for rafting and kayaking.
The Zrmanja River has cut a canyon up to 200 meters deep around Obrovac, with tiered tufa waterfalls along its course. It is ideal for rafting, kayaking and hiking. The 1960s Winnetou films were shot here. Most half-day rafting trips from Zadar put in near Kaštel Žegarski. The trip takes 3-4 hours and includes equipment and transfers. The waterfalls and stone bridges in the Krupa River canyon, a tributary, are also worth a hike.
