A stunning karst spring, this is the source of the great Kupa River. It's a magical spot, with clear blue-green waters and an almost ethereal beauty. From here, the waters flow into the 'Valley of the Butterflies', where over 500 species of butterfly have been recorded.

We actually wanted to go for a walk, but that wasn't possible because a bridge was destroyed by environmental influences and it hasn't been repaired to this day.
This route we went wasn't long but it was sporty. So you should be able to walk well and have healthy legs!
