Hiking to the source of the Kupa river - it is possible to choose 2 options.
A steep path from the village Razloge to the spring and back about 1.5 hours
The trail to the spring from Razloge starts near a large parking lot and info point next to the Gorski kotar House of Knowledge's visitor center. The road to the Kupa source descends first more gently, and then steeply, crossing the Krašićevica canyon at the bottom. The canyon is passable most of the year, but during heavy rains and in the spring, because of the snow melting, it swells and due to large amounts of water, it is an obstacle when visiting the source of the Kupa, only 5 minutes away.
It takes about half an hour to get to the spring and twice as long to return due to the climb. This medium demanding trail's total length is 1820 m, and the height difference is -229 m. The trail is available all year round.
The trail from the village Hrvatsko to the spring and back about 4 hours on the easiest terrain
This trail starts in Hrvatsko, a village on the border with Slovenia, on the river's right side looking upstream. The first part of the trail to the village of Kupari is called the Fishing Trail. It follows the course of the river all the way and has several rest areas. From Kupari, a macadam road leads through the hamlets of Kupari srednji and gornji. In Kupari gornji, there is another visitor center - the Birth House of the Kupa River.
The trail continues straight through a meadow that at the end crosses the Sušica canyon (also occasionally swollen). After the pedestrian bridge, you cross to the river Kupa's left side (looking upstream). By the end, the trail ascends and descends through the canyon to the river Kupa's very source. This is an easy trail with a minimum height difference, available all year round.
