About this audio guide
This guide to Lake Jarun in Zagreb follows the money through a stretch of water that was never meant to be a beauty spot. It reaches back to the Sava floods of the nineteen sixties and the farm village that stood here, then to the student games of nineteen eighty-seven and the rowing course built for them. Along the way you'll meet a nineteen nineties dance club and the beach bars that grew up around it. Best heard on the pebble shore near the northeast corner.
