Tourist info Karlovac

Karlovac Karlovac is the capital of the county of Karlovac in Croatia. It is located 55 km southwest of the city of Zagreb in the place where valleys and hills of Croatia meet. Thanks to its geographical position, is located at the crossroads of major road and rail routes between Zagreb, Rijeka, and Split. The particularity of Karlovac is its four rivers that flow through the city: Kupa, Dobra, Korana, and Mrežnica, after which is known as the city of four rivers. It was built in the 16th century as a fortress to defend against Turkish invaders in the form of a six-pointed star. Name Karlovac or Karlstadt was given in honor of its founder, the Austrian Archduke Charles. In the center of town stands out the Renaissance center with the regular geometrical layout of streets and city blocks, and the central square. Its ideal position at the crossroads of Karlovac is ideal for a short break in transit, but also an attractive destination for holidays in the green valleys of four Karlovac rivers.

We recommend visiting the Old Town Dubovac from the 13th century with a view of the entire city and its surroundings and the historical sights of the Town Museum, the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Franciscan monastery with a gallery.
