Croatia Guide

Gorski kotar (English: Mountain District) is the mountainous region in Croatia between Karlovac and Rijeka. Together with Lika and the Ogulin-Plaški valley it forms Mountainous Croatia. Because 63% of its surface is forested it is popularly called the green lungs of Croatia or Croatian Switzerland. Through the region passes the E65 corridor, which connects Budapest and Zagreb with the Adriatic port Rijeka.
