History
A tiny highland village named for a Frankopan-era fortress that guarded the medieval trade route into Carniola. The stone core survives, and the surrounding slopes are perfect for a peaceful picnic looking over the deep Kupa valley — the border with Slovenia runs down the middle of the river.
“The village hosts Croatia's only surviving Frankopan-era 'lower castle', built for artillery — most other Frankopan castles are steep and vertical.”
