Jezerane, Village settlement in Brinje municipality, Croatia
Jezerane is a settlement in Brinje municipality located in northwestern Lika-Senj County, with houses scattered across a large mountainous territory. The population is small and dispersed throughout the area, creating an isolated rural character.
The settlement emerged as part of the Lika region and benefited from its position along trade routes connecting inland areas with the coast. Over centuries, families established themselves here to work the land and tend livestock in the mountain valleys.
The Church of St. George stands as the social center where residents gather for worship and community events throughout the year. Visitors can observe how deeply rooted Catholic traditions shape daily life in this mountain settlement.
The D23 highway runs through the area and connects Jezerane with neighboring communities and larger towns in the region. Visitors should expect minimal infrastructure, as shops and services are located in nearby settlements.
Despite its vast territory, the settlement has one of the smallest populations in the region, with houses often separated by several kilometers. This extreme dispersal makes it an unusual mountain village where community bonds are based on shared heritage rather than physical proximity.
