Enrich yourself with Drava treasure
Continental Oasis of Water Activities
Not all seas are "at the seaside", nor all "Amazons" in Brazil. Some seas can be found deep in the green expanse of the Croatian continent, and a special place among these, land seas, has the locally known "Prilok Sea", located in the heart of the "Amazon of Europe". Prilok or rather, the Prelog Sea, as the locals named it, is actually the Lake HPP Dubrava. The area of 17km2 makes it the largest artificial, but also the second largest lake in Croatia, right after Lake Vrana. It is surrounded by the gentle and green plains of Lower Međimurje, and fed by the water of the Drava River, which, due to its preservation and wilderness, is adorned with the nickname "Amazon of Europe", together with the Danube and Mura River. The biggest tourist attraction of the lake is the Marina Prelog Sports and Recreation Zone with the Water Sports Center. Here you can enjoy a whole range of activities that include exploring the beauty of the lake and the nearby wild course of the Drava, relaxed family gatherings or sport activities.
Activities in Marina Prelog
Water sportsKayaking
The Prelog Sea is ideal for recreational, but also more serious kayaking. This increasingly popular activity allows for serious sport activities in kayaks for one or two people, and the perspective of observing the natural beauty from the surface of the lake is truly unique. Kayaks are the perfect vessel for beginners, but also more experienced rowers, and their simplicity, speed and agility allow you to explore the lake "sportily" or adventurously, whatever suits you at the time. If you are a sports enthusiast, sports and recreational competitions are also held on the lake, which makes kayaking even more interesting, and the lake itself is a regular destination for serious rowers. As you glide along the glass surface of the lake, surrounded by sedge, a landscaped promenade on the shore and rich animal life, you will feel complete harmony with nature. The lake offers rowers an incredible range of unforgettable panoramic views and experiences.

Canoing
Exploring the lake, its hidden corners and the wilderness of the Drava River in a canoe is a truly unique adventurous experience. Get into the role of an explorer and "lose yourself" in the safe beauty of calm lake waters suitable for family trips. A special attraction are the different species of birds that have found their habitat right on the Lake HPP Dubrava. In addition to observing the bird world and enjoying the peace and quiet of the water, be sure to explore the pebble shoals on which the German Tamarisk (Myricaria germanica) grows, a medicinal evergreen and strictly protected shrub from the last ice age. Unlike kayaking, which is also suitable for beginners, canoeing requires a little more technical dexterity and a good sense of balance. It is best to experience the canoe as a pair or a smaller group, when the team spirit can best come to the fore.

Rafting
Although the Prelog Sea is relatively calm, it does not mean that you cannot enjoy rafting! Do not forget that the course of the still wild Drava River flows into the lake, so the rafting experience you will have while descending down the mysterious backwaters is not to be dismissed. Rafting is synonymous with adventure, group fun and an atmosphere of togetherness created by team spirit, so this form of entertainment is perfect for team building or family trips. You will enjoy the beautifully preserved nature of the Drava banks and panoramic views, and the shoals and beaches on the river banks also provide the possibility of barbecues, refreshments in the Drava shallows, even camping. Rafting in boats on the lake is a challenging and unforgettable activity that will bring you closer and give you a sense of achievement. Get ready for the excitement and togetherness you'll remember for a long time – we're waiting for you on the water!

Stand-up paddling is a perfect activity for all generations and people of all levels of physical fitness. It is a fast learning activity, so even the greatest beginners can progress to great skill on this popular vessel in a very short term. Stand-up paddling is addictive and fun and allows you to explore the lake at your own pace. You can glide on the lake, do a good workout or, if you are a yoga enthusiast, test your balance and core muscles by trying a few poses without getting wet. Stand-up paddling also has its sporty side, so adrenaline-seeking rowers can try out a head-to-head competition with a rival – whoever is faster at rowing a certain distance is the winner of the day!

Fishing
Prelog Sea, due to its size, but also the richness of the Drava coasts, offers many opportunities for great fishing experiences. The river and lake banks are full of hidden fishing paths that lead the "connoisseurs" to the best fishing spots. In the peace and quiet, with the sound of water and the silence of the environment, you will achieve real harmony with nature, whether you are fishing on the shore, on one of the many shoals, on one of the hidden islands or you have set off "to the open sea" in a boat. The lake and the Drava canal are home to a rich population of diverse fish species, from catfish to trout. Therefore, if fishing is your place of peace and freedom, get comfortable, throw a hook and, in peace and quiet away from the stresses of everyday life, wait for the nature to do its job.
