The Kupa River, the longest river with both its source and mouth in Croatia, offers a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty. Its crystal-clear waters lead you almost all the way to the Adriatic Sea, and after an exciting water journey, you’ll find yourself just 30 kilometres from the coast. Ideal for both rafting and kayaking, the Kupa is wild and peaceful at once – perfect for nature lovers of all experience levels. But this Croatian adventure isn’t just about the river – hiking through Risnjak National Park adds another layer to the experience, offering a chance to explore untouched wilderness and maybe even catch a glimpse of the elusive lynx. Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, the Kupa is the perfect escape into nature and a day full of unforgettable moments.
