Vražji prolaz / Devils passage hiking trail.

🇺🇸 First of, the road to get there is TERRIBLE. I've had situations where google maps directed me to a road which is so poorly maintained that it's impossible to pass through it with a car, so I figured it's one of these situations. You drive through narrow but maintained road through a village and at one point get to a 3km to your destination. Road on this last 3 km is REALLY TERRIBLE. Gigantic potholes, rocks and branches on the road and worst of all it so narrow that ONE car can barely drive on it and it's a TWO WAY road! With only a few wider parts so that if need arises two cars can pass each other. So you spend those 3km driving very slowly because of the bad condition of the road and PRAYING TO GOD that someone doesn't come from the opposite direction. So some people try the road and others park at the beginning of it and walk 3 km to the end.
If you do survive the road you are greeted with a big, well maintained parking lot.
You need to buy the ticket to see Zeleni vir and Vražji prolaz and it costs 25kn. But in the end it's all worth it! Zeleni vir is a BEAUTIFUL waterfall surround with a BIG cavern. It's really something. And Vražji prolaz is a cleft in the mountain through which water runs and which is connected with a series of walk ways. At the end of this walk is a BEAUTIFUL CAVERN, not very deep, some 200m which you can explore all by yourself. Super interesting and adventurous! Just watch your head, don't forget to bring a flashlight (or use your cellphone flash) and bring some waterproof boots because it's wet and very muddy inside!
All in all, HIGHLY recommended!!

🇭🇷 Prije svega, put do tamo je GROZAN. Imao sam situacije u kojima me google usmjerio na cestu koja je toliko slabo održavana da je kroz nju nemoguće proći autom, pa sam zaključio da je to jedna od tih situacija. Vozite se uskom ali održavanom cestom kroz selo i u jednom trenutku stignete 3km do vašeg odredišta. Cesta ta posljednja 3 km je zaista STRAŠNA. Ogromne rupe, kamenje i grane na cesti, a najgore od svega, cesta je toliko uska da JEDAN automobil jedva može voziti po njoj i to je DVOSMJERNA CESTA! Ima samo nekoliko širih dijelova, tako da u slučaju potrebe dva automobila mogu proći jedan drugoga. Tako da vozite ta 3 km jako sporo zbog lošeg stanja na cesti i MOLITE SE BOGU da netko ne dođe iz suprotnog smjera. Tako da neki skupe hrabrost i odu tom cestom, a drugi parkiraju na početku te pješače 3 km do kraja. Ako preživite cestu, dočeka vas veliko, dobro održavano parkiralište. Morate kupiti kartu da biste vidjeli Zeleni vir i Vražji prolaz i košta 25kn. Ali na kraju sve to vrijedi! Zeleni vir je PREKRASAN slap pored kojeg je VELIKA špilja. Super izgleda. A Vražji prolaz je pukotina u planini kroz koju teče voda i koja je povezana nizom šetnjica. Na kraju te šetnje je PREKRASNA ŠPILJA, ne baš duboka, nekih 200m koje možete sve istražiti sami. Super zanimljivo i avanturističko! Samo pazite na glavu, ne zaboravite ponijeti svjetiljku (ili upotrijebite bljeskalicu svog mobilnog telefona) i ponesite neke vodootporne čizme jer je unutra vlažno i jako blatno! Sve u svemu, PREPORUČUJEM!!

Preserved natural canyon with lots of beuties served by nature. Trail is not easy but well prepared fore secure hiking. Worth to visit and hike. Could be more demanding during rain season.

The hiking trail (entrance fee 25kn/adult)through a narrow gorge leads after 25 minutes to a cave. The gorge is magnificent but the walkways are slippery. Railings and walkways are in need of maintenance but the path is safe. After you reach the cave you can continue ascending (steeply)finally reaching the railway station in Skrad. The path is generally visible but not very well marked. The issue is that just after the cave, the protective railing has been destroyed (June 2019) and there is a small part that is relatively unsafe.
Reaching the railway station, you can return to Zeleni Vir following a path that will lead you first to the Zeleni Vir waterfall after roughly 35 minutes. From there it's an easy descent to the Zeleni Vir hydroelectric plant and the parking lot.

Beautiful weekend attraction to visit. Green lush vegetation all the way. Crystal clear springs with wather you can easly drink on the spot.
Relatively close to Zagreb capital, perfect for escape from city rush!

Beautiful area. Sadly we were visiting on the day of a power shortage. The escalators did not work, and also the elevators were on vacation. Luckily, there was a giant water slide on our way down. There is also a possibility to see the real historic Titanic. Well, if someone drags it up from the seabottom and delivers it here that is.

Adventurous walk through the canyon, over the wooden and metal bridges from "Zeleni Vir" mountain hut to the big cave. Recommended, it is very attractive!

Beautiful place, the cave is a miracle

A bit more challenging, good shoes and some basic level of fitness are definitely recommended if not required. But it is oh so worth it! It's absolutely stunning! The passageways are narrow so it can get tricky if it gets more crowded but other than that, the trail is lovely.

It was wonderful, awesome nature. Discovering this place was amazing experience to feel the beauty of this part of Croatia, near Skrad. It's worth visiting it. I recommend it to everyone, not only nature lovers. 🙂👍🏕🌄

Awesome hiking trail. Worth the visit.

A real jewel which would be the shame not to visit.... beautiful scenery and a nice walk...near highway exit and only an hour from Zagreb

Amazing scenery, nature is untouched and calm. Food at the restaurant is cheap, but very very good. Good selection of beers ;-)

More than I expected, trully wonderfull art of nature. Cave at the end is epic. 😁👍

Challenging, but definitely worth the effort 😍

Great place

Amazing natural experience. I recommend.

Cool !

Wild and beautiful nature.

Incredible

Vražji prolaz - kroz usku guduru, jedva dva metra široku, među stijenama visokim do stotinjak metara, probija se planinski potok Jasle. Nad njim na nosačima usječenim u živu stijenu, načinjene su galerije i mostići kojima se prolazi sve do spilje Muževa hišica.
