Untouched beauty in the canyon of Krupa river, SE Velebit. In the canyons of Krupa and Zrmanja rivers currently there isn't a single house, maybe few old in ruins. The only traces of human presence are those ruins, rocky fences around formerly cultivated meadows by the river and recently marked path by the most attractive part of Krupa. Let's hope it will stay that way. Several small villages and hamlets, today mostly deserted, are on the plateaus well above the river. Between the waterfalls, which act like barriers, Krupa is mostly calm and deep, over 10m/33feet. Because of that even in summer when amount of water flowing is relatively low, level of the river is always the same, just less spills over the waterfalls.
