Although it resembles a fjord, Zavratnica is, in fact, a 900-metre-long and narrow inlet located at the foot of the mighty Velebit Mountain, 15-minute-walk away from the small village of Jablanac, near Senj, which overlooks the island of Rab.

As can be seen in the video, there is a sunken military shipwreck from World War II, which represents a real challenge for curious underwater explorers.

Other local attractions nearby are Velebit mountain and the Northern Velebit National Park. In fact, Zavratnica is part of the Nature Park Velebit (since 1981), and has been designated a protected landscape since 1964.
