Visit Croatia - Top reasons to vacation in Karlovac
The Austrians built Karlovac from scratch in 1579 in order to strengthen their southern defenses against Ottoman encroachments. It was founded as a six-pointed star fortress built on the Zrinski estate near the old town of Dubovac Castle. The original star shape can still be seen around the town. The forces of the Ottoman Empire laid siege to Karlovac seven times, the last time in 1672, but failed to ever occupy it.
Hostel Na putu Karlovac is inside of a row of historical buildings built for noblemen and merchants. It lays opposite of the Karlovac Star and was built after it had become a royal free town. Being the oldest residential district in Karlovac, this area has always been the center for cultural events.
You’re so close to history when you stay at Hostel Na Putu, it’s impossible not to feel it. Not just the building itself, but everything around it. Just a 10-minute walk in any direction will reveal countless glimpses to the moments of history now long past.
Karlovac is becoming the center of action for our long distance hiking and biking route, our moto route, and our splendid 6-day canoe/kayak route.

Snorkeling in the Korana River, Plitvice, Croatia
Spent some time near Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia and decided to do some snorkeling in the Korana River.
I actually swam in three different places along the river just to check out the different ecosystems and to see what other cool fish I could find.
At one point I even saw a huge water snake, visible in the video at 0:53.
I was actually surprised at how many fish there were and it ended up being quite a memorable experiencing snorkeling in the river.
It's hard to find places to swim or snorkel near Plitvice Lakes National Park but if you head down the road and follow the Korana River you're bound to find some good entry points.

Lika - Karlovac: A harmony of nature and tradition
Have you ever seen with your own eyes the sparkling clear springs grow into magnificent rivers? Have you ever truly perceived the power and the allure of the mysterious mountains? And finally, have you ever thought that their clarity and their power could become yours?
If you visit the Lika-Karlovac tourist region, the continental part of Croatia which is the link between Dalmatian littoral and the central section of the country, you shall be all that closer to the answer. For, that clarity and power are perhaps best conveyed by the wondrousness of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, the phenomenon which attracts with its uniqueness, but also with the effect it bears on both our mental and physical wellbeing. The National Park of Northern Velebit is an area of distinctive diversity of karstic forms, the wealth of all kinds of a living world and of breathtaking natural beauty in a relatively small area.
