Rijeka is the centre of the County Primorje and Goran, a region unusual in its configuration – two completely opposite landscapes are linked together in a harmonious natural wonder. It is a country where the sea blends into a magnificent mountain landscape and extends further toward the mountain Učka and continues to the Velebit. Unlike many towns in the world, Rijeka carries within its name the connotation of water. Rijeka's water has been described by many writers and travellers. They point out the beauty and quality of its crystal clear water and the benefits to health for its inhabitants. There is a saying: “once you have tasted Rijeka's water, you will like to drink it again.” Location and General info
