Ferry connectivity If you happen to be travelling in the direction of Munich – Salzburg – Ljubljana – Postojna - Rijeka or Milano – Venice – Trieste – Rijeka, you can continue the rest of your journey from Rijeka in the following ways:
You can continue directly from Rijeka to Krk Island (via bridge) to the settlement of Baška, from where you can catch a ferry to Lopar (Rab Island) or you can continue via the Adriatic highway through Crikvenica and Senj to Jablanac, from where you can also catch a ferry for Mišnjak (Rab Island). In 1997, the Adriatic Highway was completely reconstructed between the towns of Novi Vinodolski and Karlobag, and the construction of a network of motorways is under way. Once completed, the motorways will greatly decrease travel time. 

Travelling via the hinterland is also recommended, especially if you are travelling from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Austria or if you are travelling from the direction of Nuremberg – Passau – Graz. In this instance, you will travel via Zagreb and Karlovac through the unique Velebit hill land to Senj, Jablanac and from there to Rab via ferry.
If you chose to travel via different routes for your arrival and departure you will then get to know more about the country of your vacation. In this case, it is recommended that you travel via the Plitvice Lake system, which is not only a world known National Park, but enjoys the status of a World Heritage listing under the guidelines of UNESCO.
