Gorski Kotar: Croatia’s hidden mountain paradise
Gorski Kotar, known as the "green heart of Croatia," is a mountainous region famous for its dense forests, rugged terrain, and picturesque rivers. Its history dates back to prehistoric times, with Roman influences evident in the area. Strategically located between the Adriatic coast and continental Croatia, Gorski Kotar has long been a vital rural area, with agriculture, forestry, and livestock farming as the main economic activities.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the region became an important source of timber for the growing cities. Today, Gorski Kotar attracts visitors with its natural beauty, preserved landscapes, and outdoor activities like hiking and skiing, while also offering a glimpse into Croatia’s cultural heritage.
