Accommodation

Hotel Srce Prirode Srakovcic*** The hotek Srce Prirode (meaning ‘heart of nature’ in Croatian) is located in Ribnik just 12 km from the Slovenian border, 20 km from the city of Karlovac and 70 km from the capital city Zagreb. This charming hotel is located on the ancestral grounds of the Srakovčić family, made up of a cluster of traditional buildings. The 23 simply furnished rooms are air conditioned and come with private bathroom with shower. There is free WiFi access in the comunal areas. There is also a restaurant, tasting room full of homemade produce, a garden with an open grill and a swimming pool. Nearby there are 30 km of walking trails as well as numerous entertainment and recreation amenities (mini golf, mini bowling, billiards, table tennis, bike rental, table tennis, darts, bowls, volleyball, football and more) The River Kupa basin is surrounded by hilly woodland where you can find chestnuts, mushrooms and diverse wildlife. Possible activities include swimming, fishing and canoeing, there is also a small beach nearby.

Location

A tiny village of around 500 people close to the Slovenian border, Ribnik is off the tourist trail and with few hotels in the area is the ideal place to get away from it all. Surrounded by hills and woodland it also offers excellent fishing in the local river Kupa, as well as a beach on the riverbank to relax on. Other popular pastimes include hiking and cycling, there are a number of trails in the area. Local places of interest include the Plitvice Lakes National Park and the nearby towns of Karlovac and Osijek. The local cuisine is excellent, including many lamb and squid dishes. Local dishes include burek (a savoury pasty) and brodet (fish stew), two unique dishes you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Baklava is also very popular here as it is all around the Balkans. The local beer is Karlovacko and is available everywhere as is the local tipple ‘Pelinkovac’ (juniper spirit). Local wines include Malvazija from Istria and Prosek from Dalmatia.

Day by day

The itinerary is flexible, so the activities are in no particular order: Canoeing excursion of 2 1/2 hours. The canoeing location is around 30 mins drive from the hotel. Rafting excursion - a full day excursion, drive of around 1 hour 15 mins to start point, then 3 1/2 hours excursion. Afterwards you can get a meal at the nearby restaurant and relax on the river bank. Rock climbing excursion around 30 mins drive from the hotel. Lasts around 90 mins, then you can relax on the river bank afterwards. Cycling with guide. You ride from the hotel to Karlovac, around 20 km down easy country lanes for the most part, then your guide can either take you back to the hotel by car, or you can return by bike. You then have two free days to explore the area, we recommend asking the hotel about nearby hiking trails, otherwise you can relax by the pool.

What fitness level do I need for a multi-activity holiday?

Our multi-activity holidays, whether kayaking and cycling in Croatia or canyoning and paddleboarding on Lake Garda, are generally designed to suit a reasonably active traveller rather than requiring elite fitness. Each activity can usually be adjusted in pace or difficulty, so let us know your fitness level and we'll advise accordingly.

Do I need experience in all the different activities included?

No, most multi-activity packages are designed with beginners in mind for at least some elements, with instructors on hand to guide you through kayaking, cycling, canyoning or trekking as needed. You don't need prior experience in every discipline, just a willingness to give things a go.

Is this trip better suited to groups or can solo travellers or couples join?

Multi-activity holidays work well for groups, couples and solo travellers alike. Some departures are set up as small group experiences where you'll meet other like-minded travellers, while others can be arranged privately. Let us know your preference and we'll recommend the right format for you.

Is there an age limit for activities like canyoning or kayaking?

Age suitability depends on the specific activity and its intensity, canyoning and more technical watersports usually suit teens and adults, while kayaking and cycling can often be adapted for younger family members. Tell us the ages in your group and we'll confirm which activities and destinations fit best.

Do I get a choice in which activities I take part in each day?

Many of our multi-activity itineraries include a set programme designed to give you a great mix each day, though there's often flexibility to swap an activity or take a rest day if you'd prefer. Let us know your priorities when booking and we'll tailor the balance where possible.

What's included in terms of equipment for all these different activities?

Equipment for each activity on your itinerary, whether that's kayaks, bikes, canyoning gear or paddleboards, is provided as standard as part of the package. You'll just need suitable clothing and footwear for each day. We'll send a full packing list once your multi-activity holiday is booked.
