More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a pebble bank and the Vrljika takes you—clear water sliding past board rails, centuries-old trees bowing overhead, and a low, steady hum of insects and birds. The river narrows and opens, guiding a slow, deliberate line across the Imotsko Polje as farm fields and stone bridges drift by.
