Just as even a coin means a lot to a poor person, so to water that has no color of its own, the color of the sky and the forest mean everything. Green and blue are what you will take with you as a memory from the source of Una. Isn't it strange that something that has no color is remembered precisely by its color?

When someone tells me that they don't know how deep a spring or lake is, I tell them not to talk nonsense. After all, we live in the 21st century, not in a fairy tale. Am I right? However, this spring, which is only one of the sources of the Una River, has been explored "only" to a depth of 248 meters, and how deep it really is is not yet known. Even with this number, it is one of the deepest sources in the world.

This protected karst phenomenon is taken care of by the public institution for the management of protected parts of nature, Natura Jadera, and the entrance fee is a few euros.
