Zeleni vir, Nature reserve in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.
Zeleni vir is a nature reserve in Primorje-Gorski Kotar with forested slopes and multiple springs that flow year-round. The terrain spans different elevations and supports diverse plant and animal life adapted to the constant moisture from water sources throughout the area.
The area became officially protected in 1962 as part of the region's environmental conservation efforts. This designation reflected growing recognition of the need to safeguard natural spaces in the area.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of forest resource management while organizing educational programs about environmental conservation in the reserve.
The reserve is accessible via marked hiking trails that wind through various elevations. The best time to visit is between April and October when weather is most stable and conditions are most pleasant.
The reserve stands out for springs that never stop flowing, creating rare habitat conditions found seldom elsewhere in the region. This year-round water supply allows plant species to thrive that depend on consistently high moisture levels.
