Find out the legend of Kuda's Bridge and enjoy the peaceful and magnificent nature. Embark on this trekking adventure through beautiful Krupa River canyon, a part of the impressive Velebit Nature Park. See Croatia's natural beauty at the hand of a local guide!Explore two of the most beautiful rivers in Europe, Zrmanja and Krupa, and visit their spectacular canyons. Start your tour from Kaštel Žegarski and drive to Golubic Village, where very few people live nowadays. Located just under the steep slopes of Velebit, one of the prettiest Croatian rivers, Krupa is flowing from its spring and after 9 kilometers it meets Zrmanja River.
After visiting a local farm and tasting traditional food and drinks, we take a short walk down the hill to Kuda’s Bridge – one of the nicest places in the hinterland of Zadar. The place is actually called Deveterci (or Niners) because of 9 small cascades.
Kuda's Bridge has been built at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century. A legend says that a young guy called Kuda wanted to be closer to his loved one who lived on the other bank of the river. So he built the bridge with 12 arches out of travertine blocks and just as many pillars. The last two arches are now damaged but Kuda's Bridge still stands despite time and high waters in the winter.
Next, visit an Orthodox monastery on the Krupa River banks. No previous experience is needed and even children from 6 years of age can participate when accompanied by parents. Don’t forget to bring your sun cream, picnic and water. In case of colder weather take a long-sleeved shirt. This activity program is a well-balanced mixture of activity, nature and culture.
