USAID helped a local NGO rebuild the last floating mill in Croatia and develop rural tourism. During the last century over 90 river mills were used to grind corn, wheat and rye for entire villages on the Mura river, located in northern Croatia. By 1980, this local tradition disappeared all together. Today, this mill serves as an information center and starting point for Mura river tours. It also preserves local tradition -grinding flour that is sold to tourists as a souvenir.
