Kupa River - Croatia's Greenest Adventure

Experience the Kupa River, the jewel of Gorski Kotar and the third longest river in Croatia. It rises in the heart of the Risnjak National Park, in a region known as the green heart of Croatia, and winds through dense forests, mountain slopes, and untouched valleys. The Kupa is also the longest of the legendary “Four Rivers of the City of Karlovac” – along with the Mrežnica, Korana, and Dobra.

When the snow melts in spring or after heavy rains, the Kupa becomes the perfect stage for an exciting rafting experience. The Kupa River offers gentle rapids and playful cascades, an ideal choice for adventurers who want excitement without the fear factor – from families with children to complete beginners. The rafting route takes about two hours of action when the water is high, or up to three hours of relaxed drifting when the river is lower.

Rafting on the Kupa takes you through the untouched wilderness of Gorski Kotar, with crystal clear water and impressive forest canyons. Along the way, you'll find moments for swimming, jumping into the river, and relaxing on hidden river beaches – the perfect combination of adrenaline and natural peace.
