The MUSEUM OF THE HOMELAND WAR KARLOVAC
The MUSEUM OF THE HOMELAND WAR KARLOVAC - Turanj is located at the very exit from the city, but it is worth a visit. Since the construction of the wooden watchtower Turan in 1582, which had guarded the southern entrances to the Karlovac fort from the Ottoman invaders with a military garrison of frontiersmen, Turanj has been an outpost, the last line of defense of the city of Karlovac.
Plitvice
We don't think there's much to talk about. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to reach Plitvice, which is a phenomenon in itself. Be sure to visit if you haven't already because it will blow you away. You also have a very nice description on our Instagram @trebamaloodmorit
Đula’s Abyss
In about 45 minutes drive by Highway or 55 minutes drive by the old road, there is a great cultural monument: Đula's Abyss situated in the City of Ogulin
The abyss of the River Dobra got its name from a young girl whose name was Đula or Zulejka. The legend dates from the 16th century. Zulejka was of noble origin and her parents, as was the custom in those times, promised her to an elderly nobleman.
Klek
About an hour and twenty minutes from the apartment is the mountain Klek. Great for a day trip, the very top is a bit demanding to climb, but only slowly and can be climbed.
