The Slunjčica (locally also called Slušnica) is a river, which flows through the
Kordun region in central
Croatia. It partly flows underground through
porouskarst (
limestone soil) and surfaces in the vicinity of the city of
Slunj. At
Rastoke the Slunjčica leads into the river
Korana, which reaches this point after passing the
Plitvice Lakes National Park. The city of Slunj bears its name from this river. Due to its underground course the Slunjčica river has a quite cold temperature even during summer and the nearby situated towns use it as drinking water.
