Gorski Kotar

In the hinterland of the Kvarner area, a wonderful mountain scenery is awaiting you. High peaks and green forests, interwoven with clear rivers, streams, waterfalls and lakes make this place ideal for all of you, who love to spend their vacation in a peaceful surrounding with untouched nature. This green heart of the Kvarner region is called „Gorski Kotar“. For nature lovers as well as for the active ones, Gorski Kotar offers plenty of possibilities. Marked trails provide the ideal conditions for long walks, hikes and bike tours. Also canoeing on the Kupa river and rafting on the Dobra river are popular activities. One of the most important settlements of Gorski Kotar is Crni Lug ("Black Forest"). This village is situated in the western part of the area and is considered the gateway to the National Park Risnjak. The name of the mountain comes from "ris" - the lynx, which still today can be found here.

The countless beaches of the Kvarner Bay can be reached easily by car. If you wish to combine an active vacation in the mountains with relaxing and sunbathing on the beach, then Gorski Kotar should be the right choice for you. We recommend a combination of a one week stay on the coast and a week in one of our chalets.
