Why it's worth it

Jamnica is Croatia's historic sparkling mineral water, bottled since 1828 and once served at the Viennese imperial court. It is not a take-home souvenir so much as the fizzy water you will drink at every Croatian table and beach bar all summer, which is exactly why a Czech road-tripper should know the name.
