Lika-Karlovac, located in southwestern Croatia, is a region rich in history and natural beauty. Situated at the confluence of the Gacka, Lika, and Korana rivers, this area boasts some of Croatia's most stunning landscapes. The region is known for its hills and mountains, including Velebit, the highest peak in Lika at 1,763 meters and the largest mountain range in Croatia
The Lika-Karlovac region is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including rare species such as brown bears, wolves, and wild cats. These animals survive the harsh winters by retreating into deep caves in Velebit. The region is also home to 175 species of birds, including the eagle, golden eagle, and Ural owl.
The village of Gacka, located on the Gacka River, is a must-see destination with its log cabins, rustic charm, and centuries-old "lipa" oak trees with wide spreading branches. The old city of Senj, recognized by UNESCO's World Heritage List, is another highlight of the Lika region. Its old stone walls, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, have remained largely unchanged since their construction in the 11th century and offer a glimpse into the region's fascinating past.
Karlovac, one of the oldest cities in Croatia, is located in the Lika-Karlovac region. Established in 1579 during the Ottoman wars, Karlovac has become a cultural and economic hub for the region. Known for its 16 city gates, old fortifications, and unique Baroque center, Karlovac is also home to the Croatian Institute for Supercomputing and Networking, a research and development center for IT projects.
The Lika-Karlovac region is a destination for all kinds of travelers, from tourists to researchers and adventurers. Its rich history and natural beauty make it a timeless destination not to be missed.
