#Hiking Rastoke, the town where water fairies live. Rastoke is located in the Slun region. Slun is a city in the Karlovac County of Croatia. It is located in the central mountainous region of Croatia. Rastoke, called Little Plitvice, is where the Korana and Slunicic rivers flowing from Plitvice meet, and the sight of about 23 waterfalls flowing between houses and through houses is spectacular. This place is unique and houses are built on top of waterfalls, and the secret is in the water. Since the water flowing here is limestone, the amount of water flowing varies depending on the season. As the limestone hardened and piled up, stairs were formed, and thanks to the stairs that were created, it became easy to build houses. This town also used the flowing waterfall water to operate laundry and mills. The facilities are protected as cultural heritage. Since it is a small town, you can tour every corner of the town in up to an hour. It is a beautiful town even if you just look at it from outside without going into the town. It is also known as the "City of Cats" because statistically it is the city with the most cats per capita in Croatia. #CroatiaTravel #Croatia
