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
Mrežnica, della Cetina e del fiume Una.
il
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.
il
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.
il
fiume Mrežnica
abounds with waterfalls, but between them the water
flows calm. Rafting through the upper, canyon course
involves elements of canyoning.
il
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.
il
fiume Una,
which forms the border between Croatia and Bosnia,
provides excellent rafting conditions downstream of the
20 metre-high Štrbački buk waterfall, when the waters
are running high, although the experience is somewhat
less exciting when water levels fall.
il
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.
il
fiume Krka
can be negotiated through the upper part of the national
park due to the inflow from its tributary, the River
Butišnica, 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 Bilušića buk waterfall.
il
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.
