Gorski kotar region - western Croatia
![]()
![]()
Gorski kotar is situated in the west part of Croatia. From the north, its border starts at the source of Cabranka river and continues down the Cabranka and Kupa river courses to Zdihovo Bosiljevsko. This line also represents the historical state-political border between Croatia and Slovenia. From the northwest, starting at the Cabranka source and through Prezid, Cabarska Polica, the Obruc west slopes and towards Klana, the border is of historical, geographical and ethnic character.
Ever since the 4th century, there was a Roman defensive barrier (limes) in these parts, featuring towers and fortresses, in order to prevent the raids of the Japod illiric tribe. This barrier represents the division line between the Croatian highland zone and the Slovenian mountain range.
To the southwest, the Gorski kotar border runs over the Obruc slopes over Grobnicko polje, through Kamenjak, Hum, Draževski vrh, and then over Vinodol valley, Pleteno, Luka Krmpotska, Alan and Krivi Put, always at the altitude of 700 meters above sea-level.
The border is clearly marked by the transition from the desert-like coastal areas into the mountain woodlands.
Towards the east, the border passes by the Ogulinsko-plašcanska vallley. It begins at Severin na Kupi and continues to Krpelj, going round Ogulinsko polje to Ogulinski Hreljin, and over the Klek slopes and Modruško zagorje to Modruš.
The southeast border is a transitional area. It encompasses the areas between Rudolf's and Jozefin's roads, and these parts are referred to as Drežnica or Kapela regions. The main characteristic of this area is karst covered in tall woodlands.

Bubachu Bubachu, Zavižan ti je na Velebitu, a ovo na slici je vrh Risnjaka. Bio sam u ovoj planinarskoj kući prije par godina, tako da znam 100%.

Ma znam da je Zavizan na Velebitu i da je ono vrh Risnjaka koji je takodjer dio ove regije predstavljene u ovom threadu. Zavizan mi je uletio jer sam radio na dva threada paralelno - G.K. i Velebit, te sam se malo smotal. hebiga nitko nije savrsen, pa niti ja samlong foot said:

Lika is a region for itself that's got nothing to do with Karlovac or Ogulin. Lika is located right between northern Dalmatia and Bosnia.
Karlovac is in the region called Banija which belongs to central-west Croatia.
1) go to Ogulin and ask them if they consider them a part of Gorski Kotar....bubach_hlubach said:
2) I couldn't agree more
, I tought I was the only one thinking this way...Croatia is always promoted as if it is only a mediterranean country :bash:
1) between Dalmacija on the south, Bosnia on the east, Velebit/Primorje on the west and Gorski kotar and Kordun on the northbubach_hlubach said:Welcome

2) actually Banija is not a croatia word, Banovina is. But Karlovac is anyway kind of on the borders between Banovina Kordun and Pokuplje, and can not be really placed in any of those
I have developed my own map of Croatia with 6 regions and in that map, Karlovac is the capital of Središnja Hrvatska ( Central Croatia ) region , going from velebit to jasenovac
