Car rental in the Karlovac county: the gateway to Plitvice Lakes
The Karlovac county is the strategic crossing point between Zagreb and the Dalmatian coast, and above all the gateway to the famous Plitvice Lakes. With a rental car from Zagreb, Karlovac can be reached in less than an hour on the motorway.
The town of Karlovac was founded in 1579 as a military fortress with a star-shaped layout, one of the best preserved in Europe. Today the remains of walls and bastions can be walked through in the historic centre. But what makes Karlovac unique is its position at the confluence of four rivers: Kupa, Korana, Dobra and Mrežnica.
The Karlovac rivers are a summer paradise for Croatians: clear, cool waters for swimming, kayaking and relaxing on grassy banks. The Mrežnica, with its small waterfalls and emerald pools, is one of the most beautiful river-bathing destinations in Croatia.

From Karlovac to Plitvice: the must-do road trip
From Karlovac, the Plitvice Lakes are about an hour and a half by road through a landscape of woods and hills. This national park, UNESCO-listed since 1979, is composed of sixteen terraced lakes connected by spectacular waterfalls, with waters that vary from turquoise to emerald according to the light and the season.
The car journey from Zagreb to Plitvice via Karlovac is one of the most classic itineraries in Croatia. You can stop in Karlovac for a lunch break of river fish, a local specialty, and continue to the lakes in the afternoon.
The Karlovac county also lies along the main Zagreb-Split motorway: travellers driving towards Dalmatia inevitably pass through here. It is the ideal place to make a stopover and discover a green and authentic Croatia, far from coastal tourism.
