In September 2021, while exploring Istria, I encountered another waterfall (Zarecki)). What I anticipated to be a grand spectacle of cascading water spanning meters in width turned out to be a modest trickle gently meandering over the edge. The contrast between my expectations and the reality of only small quantities of water delicately making their way down the rock face was striking.
