Karlovac
Karlovac is a county that connects the Adriatic coast and the rest of Croatia. It borders both Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The special location of the region plays an important role not only in the Croatian transportation system, but also for the development of tourism in the area. The western part of the county enjoys a purely Mediterranean climate, while to the east it adopts continental features. All this paired with a gentle but varied landscape provides endless possibilities for active recreation. The mountainous region of Gorski Kotar in the south boasts exceptional natural beauty and rich flora and fauna. Karlovac abounds in turbulent rivers that have brought it the fame of being an international rafting centre. Lovers of urban entertainment will be delighted by the cultural programme available in the city of Karlovac, ranging from theatre and museums to pubs and bars.
