After exiting, you will still need to travel for about 65 km to the national park or 73 km to the resort by using the state road D-1 (Zagreb-Split). The drive from Zadar lasts an hour and a half, and from Split around two and a half hours.

If you are arriving from the direction of Zagreb, the easiest way is to exit the highway at exit 3 in Karlovac, and after exiting the highway you have an another 80 km drive on the state road D-1 (Zagreb-Split). The drive from Zagreb lasts around an hour and a half. Distance from Karlovac is 70 km.

If you are arriving from the direction of Rijeka, you have two different options: to take a highway road to Ogulin, and then the state road D-42 (Ogulin – Saborsko – Rakovica) or the E-65 road to Senj and then state roads D-23 (Senj – Žuta Lokva), D-50 (Žuta Lokva – Otočac) and D-52 (Otočac – Korenica). This drive lasts around two hours.

Throughout the year, there are bus departures to Plitvice Lakes, as well as to the Plitvice Holiday Resort: from Zadar, Zagreb, Split and Rijeka. During the wintertime, the number of daily departures is more limited, but during summer months, the number of departures is considerably higher.

Near the Plitvice Lakes, there is no commercial airport. Airline companies offer flights to airports in Zagreb, Zadar, Split or Krk (Rijeka).

Unfortunately, taking the train to Plitvice Lakes is not the best option. The nearest railway station is in Karlovac, from where you can take the bus to Plitvice. From other railway stations, there is no connection and you should use a taxi. Therefore, arriving by train to Plitvice Lakes is actually not possible.
