Gorski Kotar Road
D32Prezid to Delnice
Croatia’s alpine secret: a winding mountain road through bear and lynx country, often likened to Switzerland.
The D32 crosses the heart of Gorski Kotar, Croatia’s heavily forested highland interior, skirting Risnjak National Park on a road of sweeping curves through mature beech and silver fir. The region sits above 800 metres for much of the route, with clear mountain streams, wildflower meadows and occasional views towards the Adriatic contrasting with the dense canopy overhead. It is a compact drive by distance but rewards slow progress, with the visitor centre at Crni Lug a natural midpoint stop.
