In the narrow canyon of Mala Paklenica water is real problem, especially in the upper part where you can’t avoid it because of smooth cliffs on both sides. To advance one has to take off the shoes and trousers and swim, which is not good idea in winter. Water in the canyon only flows in the colder (rainy) part of the year, after rain or sudden snow meltdown. Then its temperature is between 3 and 7°C.
