About this experience
Paddle through one of Europe’s most beautiful and unspoiled river landscapes on a relaxed canoeing or kayaking experience on the Kolpa River. Known as one of the cleanest, warmest and safest rivers in Europe, the Kolpa flows gently through a protected nature park on the border between Slovenia and Croatia, offering crystal-clear water, lush green banks and a truly peaceful atmosphere.
This easy and scenic 6 km route is perfect for beginners, families with children, and anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. As you glide along the calm current, you’ll pass small historic dams once used by water-powered mills and enjoy the soothing rhythm of the river, far from crowds and digital noise.
The tour lasts 3-4 hours and includes all equipment: canoe or kayak, life vests, neoprene shoes, helmet, towels, refreshing drinks and a welcome beverage. Just bring your swimsuit and spare clothes – everything else is taken care of.
