Zrmanja River Canyon

Today was an unexpectedly gorgeous day! I had read a lot about the Zrmanja River Canyon and how you should go and hike around, but couldn’t find much about hiking there. So we just headed off to the one waterfall to see what we could see. You were supposed to be able to walk along the water a ways to fort ruins, but the trail was blocked with barbed wire so we were like now what? Raymond figured out we could walk down the road to another waterfall not that far away so we headed off for that and it was so much fun! We found so many interesting bugs and butterflies and so many giant grasshoppers flying through the air! And it was a road walk until suddenly it opened up to gorgeous views and a pretty nice waterfall.

After lunch we thought we would explore the town nearby, Obrovac, which was really run down and not much to it, but we did walk up to the fortress ruins and surprised a snake sleeping in a tube and then he was stuck as it was too slippery to get out. I took a quick photo then moved on so he wasn’t so upset forever and when we turned to look a minute later he was gone so he figured it out.

We also stopped on this bridge on the way home which was gorgeous! The views both ways were so beautiful! We walked across the bridge and on the way back we saw a dolphin jumping around in the water! So much fun!

Once we got home we headed to the beach here for a swim until I got too cold. The water was freezing, but I did manage about 20 min which was really nice. I didn’t expect much out of today, but it was really nice!Weiterlesen
