Detailed itinerary

Join our Packrafting Mreznica River – Upper section trip and explore a wonderful gem near Plitvice Lakes.
Packrafts are small, one-person rafting boats, perfect for a narrow canyon of the Mreznica River.
We start our Packrafting Mreznica River adventure early in the morning. After a short safety talk, we will take you to the riverbank, where you’ll try paddling on a small lake.
After you’re familiar with your boat, get ready for the first waterfalls, and the real adventure that awaits you. We will jump down a 6m high waterfall, go down a 3 m double-waterfall, and many rapids along the way. We will finish up the trip 6 km from the starting point, and after a short van ride, we will say our goodbyes at the base where we first started.
