More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a premium vehicle in Zagreb and the road slips into karst country — low limestone hills, dry valleys, the distant Adriatic light on the horizon. The day begins with a hush: the Skocjan Caves open into a world of scale where an underground river cuts a canyon the size of a cathedral. Stalactites and flowstone frame walking routes and bridges that let you look down into thunderous caverns and foaming water below.
