The Most Breathtaking Places You Can Drive to with Your Own Car
Natural Wonders of Europe You Can Explore on Your Own Wheels
There’s something magical about discovering Europe’s most stunning landscapes at your own pace — the freedom to stop by a hidden waterfall, a quiet alpine meadow, or a seaside cliff just because it caught your eye. At CarTurf, we make it possible for travelers from outside the EU to own and register a car in Europe — so you can explore these natural wonders with complete freedom and flexibility.
Here are some of Europe’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders to add to your bucket list — all easily accessible by car.
1. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Plitvice Lakes National Park is a series of turquoise lakes connected by waterfalls that look almost unreal. Driving through Croatia lets you enjoy the dramatic scenery — from rugged coastlines to lush forests — and with your own car, you can visit early in the morning before the tour buses arrive.
2. The Dolomites, Italy
If there’s one place every driver should experience, it’s the Dolomites. These jagged peaks offer some of the world’s most scenic drives, like the Great Dolomites Road. You can stop at alpine villages, hike through meadows, and enjoy Italian mountain cuisine — all on your own schedule.
3. Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland
Known as the “Valley of 72 Waterfalls,” Lauterbrunnen is the kind of landscape that feels like stepping into a storybook. Having your own car gives you the flexibility to explore the nearby alpine passes, visit neighboring Interlaken, or continue into France or Italy for a multi-country mountain adventure.
4. The Black Forest, Germany
This mysterious, fairytale-like forest in southwestern Germany is home to dense pine woods, scenic lakes, and winding mountain roads perfect for a relaxed drive. Stop in quaint villages like Triberg (famous for cuckoo clocks) or enjoy a slice of authentic Black Forest cake.
5. The Cliffs of Moher, Ireland
The rugged west coast of Ireland offers one of Europe’s most dramatic natural sights — the Cliffs of Moher. Driving along the Wild Atlantic Way, you can enjoy countless viewpoints, cozy pubs, and peaceful seaside towns far from the crowds.
6. The Lofoten Islands, Norway
If you’re after raw, untamed beauty, few places compare to Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Imagine driving past fjords, fishing villages, and towering mountains that rise straight from the sea. With a car, you can chase the midnight sun in summer or the northern lights in winter — both unforgettable experiences.
7. The Algarve, Portugal
For sunshine, sea caves, and dramatic cliffs, the Algarve is unbeatable. A car lets you discover hidden beaches like Praia da Marinha or Ponta da Piedade — spots that are often inaccessible by public transport.
8. Saxon Switzerland National Park, Germany
Only a short drive from Dresden, this park offers otherworldly rock formations, forested trails, and the iconic Bastei Bridge viewpoint. It’s a dream destination for hikers and photographers alike.
