Historic Route D1 - Croatian Route 66

Pack your camera, your favorite road trip CDs, and explore the Croatian version of the Route 66, explore the heart of Croatia as you make your way along the historic Route D1. Linking Northern Croatia, capital of Croatia Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National Park to Split on the Adriatic coast, Route D1 will give you a wonderful chance to see and explore some great Croatian landmarks, museums, national and nature parks.

This road trip, famous for its twists and turns and interesting for driving, is a great way to discover the places that have stood the test of time (these are, unfortunately, mostly the areas that have suffered greatly in the military aggression in the 1990s). Nonetheless, the genuine nostalgia and old-time charm still run through the veins of the Route D1 that is one continuous succession of interesting places, roadside attractions and unique family-run restaurants and accommodation. To this day, the road beckons travelers, encouraging them to discover the authentic life and people that keep the Route D1 alive.

Before the construction of the modern A1 highway, the road D1 was probably the busiest road during summer in Croatia as it connected the northern border and the capital city of Zagreb with the second largest city Split and tourist resorts at the Adriatic Sea. Since then, the traffic has waned, but the historic Route D1 is still alive and well - and now a great alternative to the tolled highways and a great choice for a relaxing drive that will have you feeling more connected to nature and people.

These are the times that push many to the edge, and this can be a nice opportunity to get away from it all and have a nice relaxed road trip (if you plan to rent a car opt for eco and electric ones;), a trip for which you determine the duration, as well as the places to visit. This is a route you can keep coming back to because it has a lot to offer. Enjoy picture-perfect scenes and relaxing environments across several counties in Croatia.

Embark on a slow-paced, relaxing drive within the speed limit and visit interesting tourist places, local attractions, artisans, and restaurants along the entire route - from Krapina and Zagorje, Zagreb, Karlovac and Slunj, Gracac and Gospic, Knin and Split and many more interesting places in between - and us of course, our 2Parks, Plitvice Lakes and Una and surroundings! ;)

Relax and unwind on the historic Route D1!
