Below we have selected a few suggestions for a tour of the Risnjak National Park, accompanied by an expert guide.

  • Hiking to the source of the Kupa river - it is possible to choose 2 options.

A steep path from the village Razloge to the spring and back about 1.5 hours

The trail to the spring from Razloge starts near a large parking lot and info point next to the Gorski kotar House of Knowledge's visitor center. The road to the Kupa source descends first more gently, and then steeply, crossing the Krašićevica canyon at the bottom. The canyon is passable most of the year, but during heavy rains and in the spring, because of the snow melting, it swells and due to large amounts of water, it is an obstacle when visiting the source of the Kupa, only 5 minutes away.

It takes about half an hour to get to the spring and twice as long to return due to the climb. This medium demanding trail's total length is 1820 m, and the height difference is -229 m. The trail is available all year round.

The trail from the village Hrvatsko to the spring and back about 4 hours on the easiest terrain

This trail starts in Hrvatsko, a village on the border with Slovenia, on the river's right side looking upstream. The first part of the trail to the village of Kupari is called the Fishing Trail. It follows the course of the river all the way and has several rest areas. From Kupari, a macadam road leads through the hamlets of Kupari srednji and gornji. In Kupari gornji, there is another visitor center - the Birth House of the Kupa River.

The trail continues straight through a meadow that at the end crosses the Sušica canyon (also occasionally swollen). After the pedestrian bridge, you cross to the river Kupa's left side (looking upstream). By the end, the trail ascends and descends through the canyon to the river Kupa's very source. This is an easy trail with a minimum height difference, available all year round.

  • Guided trails towards the peak Veliki Risnjak - Vilje-Risnjak & Lazac-Risnjak

Veliki Risnjak is recognizable by its white rocks. From the top of 1528 m, you will enjoy an unforgettable view of the Kvarner islands, Istria and the Alps in Slovenia.

The easiest way to reach Risnjak is via Gornji Jelenje along the trails that go from the entrance Vilje to Veliki Risnjak. For the Vilje - Risnjak trail, you will need about an hour in one direction, the total length is 3145 m, and the height difference is 362 m. The trail is easy to medium demanding and is passable in spring, summer and autumn.

The Lazac - Risnjak trail starts on the Lazac mountain meadow, passes through mountain spruce forests, eventually becomes steeper and turns from a wide forest trail into a narrow hiking trail. For this easy to medium demanding trail, you will need about 1 hour and 15 minutes in one direction, the height difference is 471 m, and the trail is passable in spring, summer and autumn.
