Tourist info Perušić
Perušić is a picturesque small town and municipality in Lika, Croatia. It is located in the central part of Lika, at the foot of the longest Croatian mountain of Velebit, at 600 meters above sea level. Perušić in its present form is formed at the turn of the 16th and 17th century when this area was located on the borderline between the Ottoman Empire and Croatia, which was then a part of the Austrian Empire. It was founded by brothers Dominik and Gašpar Perušić, descendants from a noble family from Dalmatia. Perušić was named after their last name. After the termination of the Turkish threat in the late 18th and 19th century, Perušić started developing - schools, forestry, post office, and railways were built. Today Perušić has about 1,500 inhabitants who are mostly engaged in agriculture and forestry. Tourism started developing slowly thanks to its unique location close to 3 national parks. Also, Perušić is surrounded by a mighty mountain of Velebit, very clean river Lika and the lake Krušćica. Visitors exploring the wider region often combine their stay with a trip to nearby Gospić, the regional centre of Lika.
