From the Kupa River to the Risnjak National Park

Our first destination is the small town of Brod na Kupi, about 20 minutes from Delnice. Here life takes place in harmony with nature.
Once in the village, we go to the castle of the aristocratic Zrinski family, today a particularly valuable cultural monument. In 1651 Petar Zrinski had his first castle built in Brod na Kupi, probably on the site of an older Frankopan castle from the 15th century.
Today the Zrinski Castle is home to a permanent exhibition on the subjects of forestry, hunting and fishing, which informs the visitor about the diverse fauna of Gorski Kotar and the activities in the forests of the region.
Our second stop is rafting or canoeing / kayaking. Depending on the season and rainfall, the rivers offer all-day extraordinary adventures.
With experienced teachers and animators, of course. The main rafting season is from April to June and from September to October. As part of the rafting, we have an agreed lunch.
After such an active day we drive a short distance to Delnice, to our hotel. Dinner, well-deserved rest and overnight.

Breakfast and access to Risnjak National Park. Risnjak is a forest kingdom and it was the dense forest communities that gave him a “ticket” for entry into the national park society. When visiting the Risnjak National Park, the Leska Lesh Trail is definitely one of the first institutions of this art in Croatia. It is located in Crni Lug, just a few minutes west of the park administration. It is so conspired and built that every visitor can still be seen. A series of 23 information boards, only 4.2 km long. With an easy walk, the path is available in about 2 hours.
At the end of the tour, near the park administration building, there are restaurants where we can eat and drink. We leave Risnjak National Park and drive home.
