History
The Kupa river bursts, fully formed, from a 320-metre-deep karst spring at the foot of the Risnjak massif — a startling turquoise pool in the middle of an untouched valley. A 90-minute trail down through beech forest reaches the source, and the walk back up is the only serious effort of the day.
“The Kupa spring is one of the deepest karst springs in Croatia; divers have descended to over 150 metres and still not touched the bottom.”
