Day trip with family. 30 min drive from Rijeka. Super easy super nice. Parking always available. Try to avoid weekend rush hours and holidays which are always very crowded once the snow shows itself.

On-line cameras available and bery useful to check the parking, snow and rush hours condition. Nature at its best. Great...
