Griblje on the Kolpa: Water, Nature and Tradition

At Griblje, there is a designated boat launch and landing site upstream of the weir. There is also a designated riverside rest area upstream of the weir. For getting in and out of the river and for breaks while boating, only the designated and equipped areas provided for these purposes should be used. Griblje is one of the villages on the Kolpa listed as places with the best swimming spots. From the Stari Pod launch site, paddlers can paddle along the Kolpa to Gribelj.

The Kolpa Landscape Park is located in the far southeast of Slovenia on the border with Croatia. It encompasses the Kolpa Valley and its hinterland and extends as a narrow strip between Stari trg and Dragoši. Below Griblje, the Kolpa floodplain widens in the immediate vicinity of the village.

The Ribnik v Gribljah pond lies between the villages of Krasinec and Griblje amid fields. To reach Ribnik v Gribljah, park by the road and then walk approximately 500 metres between the fields. Ribnik v Gribljah is visited by various animals; storks have also been sighted there. Along the entire course of the Kolpa, there are diverse aquatic and waterside habitats. These diverse aquatic and waterside habitats provide favourable living conditions for numerous rare and endangered species, especially fish, European pond turtles, freshwater pearl mussels and otters.
