Beautiful hidden treasure, about 1 hour walk all through the woodland following the river instead of following the track. Definite highlight of the trip

Five stares for everything. Would love to see a festival organized here!

A magical experience, once you decide to walk the whole path up to the wellspring. The river is majestic, especially if you go after rains. The nature you'll meet here is diverse, both calm and savage, as well as the river. There are villages you will pass through, and there will also be segments where you will not see a single human. It is a 30 km (round) trip if you are going from the city. And it is definitely worthy.

The Rječina, also known as the Fiumara, is a river in Croatia that flows into the Adriatic Sea at the city of Rijeka. It is about 18 kilometers long, with an average width of 9 to 16 meters. It springs from a cave at an elevation of 325 meters above sea level, below the high cliff of Kičej Hill (elevation 606 meters). Until 1870 the river's spring was below the next hill, Podjavorje, but it collapsed in an earthquake near the village of Klana. The most significant confluents are the Sušica, Lužac, Zala, Zahumčica, Golubinka, Ričinica, and Borovšćica, but they are dry for most of the year. In 1968 a dam was built to facilitate a hydroelectric power plant, creating Lake Valići but destroying the village of the same name. The Rječina flows through a canyon for almost half of its length. The best-known sight is the Gaspar Mill (Gašparov mlin) in Martinovo Selo, which was restored in the 1990s. Notable fauna are trout and river crabs.
