Undiscovered Natural Water Springs in Croatia

Drinking  spring water is becoming increasingly popular as more and more eco-conscious travelers are searching for undisovered natural water springs, where water is not only the cleanest but also contains the outstanding energetic and healing properties. Fascinating scientific findings of Dr. Masaru Emoto with frozen water crystals reveal the enormous power and greatest mysteries of the water.

Spring water will provide you with positive energy, strengthen your immune system, heal you, regenerate you and boost your joy of life.  If you want to collect it when its energies are the strongest, you should visit the water springs at full moon just before the sunrise. 

Here are the 6 natural water springs in Croatia that still remained hidden sights. They don’t attract hordes of people thanks to the fact that they are not (yet) located on the main tourist routes:

The river Krka after which the National Park Krka got its name, originates at a spring close to the historic town of Knin in Dalmatia. The spring is located far from the overcrowded tourist hotspots, under the fascinating 22-meter high waterfall called Krčić. The autumn and early winter represent the best season for visit, because the waterfall Krčić dries out in summertime.
