To visit the reserve, start from Skrad, a small town on the old
Rijeka-Zagreb road. Skrad has train and bus stations and a
narrow, steep, winding and partially asphalt road will bring
you to the Alpine hut at the entrance to the reserve. You can
also start from Brod na Kupi (the state border!) and reach
Zeleni vir along an asphalt road that leads to Skrad. In that
case, do not forget to take the turning for Zeleni vir at the
hamlet of Planina Skradska.
