Kolpa ZAVEDNO

Paddling the Kolpa? The app plays a voice alert when you approach a fish spawn site or bird nesting area. Free, no ads, works offline.

Kolpa ZAVEDNO warns you when you paddle too close to protected zones on the river Kolpa — fish spawn sites and bird nesting areas.

These zones are sensitive stretches of the river where fish reproduce and where water birds nest. A calm, respectful pass helps protect the river's wildlife for future seasons.

How it works: • The app uses GPS to track your position on the river. • When you approach a known spawn site or nesting area, your iPhone plays a clear voice alert in your language. • Alerts work even while the phone is in your pocket or a dry bag — once you start a trip, the app keeps tracking in the background. • A topographic map of the Kolpa corridor shows where you are.

Works offline: • The map of the Kolpa corridor is bundled with the app (source: ARSO, used with permission). • Spawn-site and nesting-area data is bundled with the app. • Voice alerts are spoken by your phone's built-in voice — no internet needed. You do not need mobile data on the river.

Privacy: • The app does not send your location to any server. • No analytics, no ads, no trackers. • No trip history is collected. • No user account is required.

Languages: • Slovenian (used automatically if your iPhone is set to Slovenian). • Croatian (used automatically if your iPhone is set to Croatian). • English (used for all other device languages).

Permissions the app needs: • Location While Using — to show your position on the map. • Background location ("Always") — to trigger alerts as you approach a spawn site or nesting area, even while the iPhone is in your pocket or a dry bag.

Notes: • The app is free. • It does not replace awareness and knowledge of the river. • The detailed bundled map covers the river Kolpa and its immediate surroundings. • Voice alerts depend on the language voice installed on your iPhone. If a Slovenian or Croatian voice is not present, you can install one in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.
