This is one of the few remaining flood karst fields in Croatia. It is located at the north-eastern edge of the Imotski field. A flood area is formed during the high-water season, when Prolosko Lake is filled and flowing over its southern edge. In the swamp there is the Islet of Manastir with remains of the Franciscan Monastery from 17th century.

Source of the River Cetina

Reviewed By kristina8d8r - Zagreb, Croatia

Little known natural attraction in the Dalmatian hinterland. In addition to nature, there are two beautiful churches, one of which is a Catholic from the 9th century with a recognizable Croatian plait, and above the spring is an Orthodox church. On the way to the source of Glavas is the church of St. Spasa, one of the most important monuments from the early Middle Ages. It has its roots in the ninth century, from Prince Branimir, and is an example of a building with a facade facing west. It looks mystical and a bit scary, because it is surrounded by a cemetery and hides many secrets and controversies that are still going on today. The source of the river Cetina, although it is more accurate to say the sources, because there are 11 of them, some of which spring only during heavy rains, is located in the village of the same name Cetina, a few kilometers from Vrlika. It is also known as Milaševo vrelo or Glavaševo jezero or vrelo Cetine, and its measured depth is about 130 m, although it is mentioned that a Spanish research team measured a depth of as much as 180 m. Cetina springs at an altitude of 385 meters, on the northwestern slopes of the Dinara We arrived late so the summer of the spring could not be experienced, but in the evening you can see the beautiful colors and crystal clear water around 8 degrees

Reviewed By oldp2015

A beautiful lake in a deep karst sinkhole just next to the town centre. Visit it in the spring, when the water level is high and the temperature is pleasant for walking down the steep path to the water itself, and more importantly, back up.
