Panoramic view on Rastoke and the Korana river

Rastoke is part of the Croatian municipality of Slunj, very famous for its well-preserved old mills (dating back to the 18. century), which are still functioning and the picturesque little waterfalls along the Korana and Slunjčica rivers that flow together at this place. The Korana river flows through the Plitvice Lakes National Park before it reaches Slunj.

This historic part of the town of Slunj has recently been renovated, since it has been hit very severely during the Croatian war of Independence (1991-1995). Tourism is slowly beginning to develop in this poor Croatian region, also renowned for fishing and hunting.
