Zagreb to Split Private Transfer via Plitvice Lakes & Rastoke — Day-Trip Guide

You step into the van at sunrise in Zagreb and the city windows blur into rolling karst as the driver eases onto the highway. The first stretch is a slow unwinding — olive groves give way to oak and beech, and the air tightens with the scent of damp earth. Thirty minutes before Plitvice, you pull into Rastoke, where a cluster of traditional watermills perches on the Korana’s rapids. Coffee steams in your hands while small waterfalls chatter against old stone; the village feels like a hinge between human craft and a river that refuses to be tamed.
