Turismo sportivo: vicino alla maggior parte
degli alberghi e dei campeggi si trovano
numerosi terreni sportivi da tennis Torneo ATP a
Umago ( Umag ) e Torneo WTA a Bol sull`isola di
Brazza ( Brac ), terreni da pallacanestro, da
pallavolo sulla sabbia ecc. E' possibile
noleggiare le barche, l'attrezzatura per la
pesca e per immersioni subacquee; esistono anche
le scuole di immersioni subacquee e di sport
della vela. Sul fiume Dobra e sul fiume Cetina
si organizza anche il rafting. Lo sport del
kayak e lo sport del canoa si praticano nelle
acque della Kupa, della Korana, della Mreznica.
Fiume Kupa
flows from the Risnjak
National Park, flowing between forest-covered
mountain slopes and rich valleys, but offering
sufficient water for rafting only in spring and
after heavy rainfalls.
Fiume Dobra
has a surface course and an
underground course and offers first class
rafting conditions at all times because dams and
accumulation lakes permit a sufficient flow
through of water.
Fiume Mreznica
abounds with waterfalls, but
between them the water flows calm. Rafting
through the upper, canyon course involves
elements of canyoning.
Fiume Korana
issues from the Plitvice lakes.
After heavy rains and when snow melts the
section below the picturesque site of Rastoke,
and downstream through the canyon, is
particularly attractive.
Fiume Una
which forms the border between
Croatia and Bosnia, provides excellent rafting
conditions downstream of the 20 metre-high
Strbacki buk waterfall, when the waters are
running high, although the experience is
somewhat less exciting when water levels fall.
Fiume Zrmanja
abounds with water in
springtime, while in summer smaller craft -
canoes and kayaks - must be used to travel this,
the most beautiful of Croatian canyons.
Fiume Krka
can be negotiated through the
upper part of the national park due to the
inflow from its tributary, the River Butisnica,
which is controlled by a dam. Rafting is the
only way to really get to know this undisturbed
area of the park, and the only place where a
detour by land is necessary is the 12 metre-high
Bilušiæa buk waterfall.
Fiume Cetina
waters are directed via a
tunnel towards a power plant on the coast, which
means that there is not much water for rafting
in its natural canyon bed. The experience is
still worth undertaking if only because of thick
and lush vegetation along its banks, the clear
waters, high cliffs, waterfalls and caves. |
