			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canyoning is a very attractive sport. It takes you for a trip on the bottom of the deep canyon called the Devil`s passage. We walk the deep crystal water lakes, we climb the waterfalls conquering the stream force. Wild nature is all around us, and after only a few minutes we feel as if the civilization is hundreds of miles away. Canyon is of a breathtaking beauty.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span>Canyon, Devil`s passage is situated near Brod na Kupi village in Gorski Kotar region. This is north part of Croatia betveen town Zagreb (110 Km) and town Rijeka (45 Km)</p>
<p><strong>Adventure in wild nature..</strong></p>
<p>We walk the deep crystal water lakes, we climb the waterfalls conquering the stream force. Wild nature is all around us, and after only a few minutes we feel as if the civilization is hundreds of miles away. Canyon is of a breathtaking beauty.</p>
<p>Our voyage ends at the set of &#8220;five waterfalls&#8221;. We have a short rest in the shade of the ruins of an old mill, and the waterfalls we climbed become a fun toboggans. At the top we sit in the water, put our elbows together and we charge ahead with the millions of crystal clean water drops, many waterfalls and excitements ahead of us.</p>

<p>The trip ends in refuge hut with an obligatory blueberry pie.</p>
<p>Each waterfall has a safe way around so anyone can try this sport. Canyoning in the Devil`s passage is not a very demanding one, but you will have to show some agility and motivation. If the water level is high this becomes a very demanding trip!!</p>
<p>There is a possibility that the spring should go dry in some sections during summer. The most attractive month to do it is May.</p>
<p>The trip takes from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the water level, group size and your agility.</p>
<p>How to get to the Devil`s passage? There is a road that is very interesting and exciting but we suggest mountain bikes. It is not a demanding path and you get the opportunity to spend an entire day in nature.</p>
<p><strong>About trip</strong></p>
<p>What does a canyoning trip look like?</p>
<p>We meet in Brod na Kupi at our sports centre. Meeting with your guide and a wellcoming drink follows. You get your equipment and head to the Devil`s passage. Getting there takes around 30 minutes. We change our clothes in a mountain hut and head into the adventure. After the trip we take a little break with an excellent blueberry pie, which is a specialty of the mountain hut.</p>
<p>What you must bring: swim suit, towel, extra t-shirt and sneakers.</p>
<p>What you get: canyoning equipment (neoprene suit, helmet, water-resistant jacket), accident insurance, guide, Zeleni Vir ticket, refreshment</p>
<p><em>Devil`s passage</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.rafting.com.hr/foris_eng/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/devil.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-75" style="margin: 8px;" title="devil" src="http://www.rafting.com.hr/foris_eng/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/devil.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="293" /></a>If you follow the trail to the right of the mountain lodge, you will soon be crossing two bridges and will not see anything spectacular &#8211; yet. However, the trail will soon have you hiking along steep slopes, over wooden bridges and treetrunks.</p>
<p>Further up, the trail is cut into the rocks high above the stream. Under the trail, deep down in the canyon, the water runs over rocks and creates a powerful murmur. The canyon sides get steeper and steeper and almost seem to come together over the curvy trail. The sky all but disappears overhead inside this gorge which it took the water thousands of years to create, and you will instinctively be holding on tighter to the bridge railings. After the adrenaline rush has passed, the canyon widens and the trail continues down to the Muževa hiža cave.</p>
<p>Closed groups can choose the time for the beaginig of the trip..</p>
