Lička Jesenica, Rural settlement in Karlovac County, Croatia.
Lička Jesenica is a small settlement in the Saborsko region of Karlovac County that spreads across hilly terrain. The village sits at about 472 meters elevation and is surrounded by rural farmland and forests.
The area has been inhabited for centuries and experienced major demographic shifts in recent decades. Between 1991 and 2021, the population declined significantly, reflecting broader changes in rural development and migration patterns in the region.
The Orthodox church of St Elias from 1751 stands at the heart of the settlement and serves as the main gathering place for religious observances. Its presence reflects the deep Orthodox tradition that defines this region.
The settlement can be reached by road and is served by postal services using postal code 47306. Visitors should expect rural conditions and limited services typical of small agricultural communities.
A stone bridge built in 1810 crosses the Jasenica river and links different parts of the settlement. This structure stands as a quiet witness to local craftsmanship and centuries-old connections between community areas.
