In the third episode of our Walk & Work Croatia series, we head to Risnjak National Park with digital nomad Kim Walters and DNA Croatia’s President Jan de Jong to explore how remote work meets wild mountain landscapes in Croatia’s green heart.
Episode 3 of Walk & Work Croatia takes you deep into the rugged beauty of Risnjak National Park, one of Croatia’s most pristine and biodiverse regions. This time, we follow digital nomad Kim Walters as she discovers what it means to live and work surrounded by towering forests, mountain peaks, and the call of nature. DNA Croatia’s President Jan de Jong joins Kim in one of Croatia’s most underrated destinations.
Located in Gorski Kotar, often called Croatia’s “green lungs,” Risnjak National Park is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking peace away from busy coastal cities. With its dense woodlands, crystal-clear rivers, and panoramic views from Veliki Risnjak peak, the park provides digital nomads with a rare combination of quietude and inspiration.
💻 For Kim, Risnjak offered the chance to focus deeply while reconnecting with nature. Whether taking breaks to hike through old-growth forests, spotting wildlife, or enjoying the crisp mountain air while working outdoors, she shows us that remote work doesn’t always mean choosing between productivity and adventure.
From the source of the Kupa River to tranquil forest paths, Risnjak reminds us that Croatia’s national parks aren’t just for weekend escapes — they can also be everyday workspaces for those who carry their office in a backpack.
This episode is a call to explore beyond the coastline. Risnjak shows how balance, focus, and creativity thrive when work meets wilderness.
