Gacka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gacka is a river located in the Lika region in central Croatia. Because for a large part of its course it is a subterranean river, estimates on its length vary. The overground part has undergone substantial human intervention - before it was 32 kilometers long, now it is only 11 km.[1] It has been regulated by man to flow to an accumulation in Gusić polje and then into the Adriatic Sea through a hydroelectric installation HE Senj near Sveti Juraj.[1] HE Senj takes inflow from Gacka and Lika, since it was built in 1965.[2][3] The river passes through karst fields and most notably the town Otočac, and is known as a superb spot for trout fishing.[4]
