CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CROATIA The mills of the Gacka river

PLITVICE TIMES MAGAZINE

by The Plitvice Times 29. August 2020.

River Gacka that springs in The Gacka Valley near Otočac is the third-longest sinking river in the world and her beauty is truly one of a kind.

The waters of Gacka are extremely clean and rich in oxygen and the Gacka source area consists of numerous and picturesque springs, the three strongest among them: the Tonković Vrilo, Klanac, and Majerovo Vrilo.

Let`s go see them from the bird`s eye view!
