Gorski Kotar is terrific hinterland that spreads from Rijeka to the inland, all the way to the Slovenian boarder and up to the town of Karlovac. Most of the region is covered with a lush green vegetation. In Gorski Kotar, it is still possible to see wolves, brown bear, wild boar and lynx roaming freely. Gorski kotar offers a perfect refreshing green oasis in the heat of summers and adrenaline packed snowy adventures during winters.
