Ostrovica

Ostrovica is a rural village in Zadar County, positioned at a moderate elevation and surrounded by farmland and scattered woodland. The settlement follows a dispersed layout with houses spread across the landscape rather than clustered in a central area.

The settlement developed as an agricultural village within this region of Dalmatia over centuries. It underwent significant population changes during recent decades as rural areas experienced broader demographic shifts.

The inhabitants of Ostrovica maintain traditional Croatian practices through local customs, agricultural activities, and community gatherings throughout the year.

A personal vehicle is the best way to reach this location, as public transportation is limited and infrequent. Plan visits in advance and be prepared for rural road conditions.

The village sits at a vantage point where two distinct landscape regions meet and become visible. This position makes it a particularly interesting place to observe how the hilly terrain of one area transitions into the flatter plains of another.
