Korana, River system in Lika-Senj and Karlovac Counties, Croatia
The Korana River stretches 138.6 kilometers through central Croatia, characterized by limestone formations and clear waters flowing from underground springs.
The river's name, first documented in the 13th century as Coranna and Corona, originates from Proto-Indo-European karr, meaning rock.
Local residents maintain strong connections to the river through traditional fishing practices and seasonal celebrations in riverside communities.
Multiple access points along the riverbank provide opportunities for kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with designated parking areas near popular spots.
The river supports 33 distinct mollusk species and creates natural barriers through karst terrain, forming part of the Croatia-Bosnia Herzegovina border.
