The people of Lika love to swim in the sea, but we Dalmatians hate crowds and swim in the rivers and lakes in Lika. Upside down, right? Now read this! Gacka flows through Otočac, and Otuča flows through Gračac! So, is there an end to this upside-down circus? God help me!

For a long time, I thought that there was a lack of places to swim in Lika, but I realized that there are really a lot of them, they are just mostly hidden from view. And it's good that they're like that, because that's why you can almost always enjoy them alone, and even when you have company, they're probably people like you, so it's worth starting a conversation.

Otuča is a small river and when the water level is extremely low, it looks more like a stream, which is not enough for a fair swim. However, there is always enough water to cool down tired feet.

From the state road D1, turn right towards Kijani and drive another 1.4 km, then turn left (after the drive) onto the Polish road that takes you to Otuča.
