Bubnjarci, Rural settlement in Karlovac County, Croatia
Bubnjarci is a rural settlement in Karlovac County that stretches along the Kulpa River near the Slovenian border. The village contains traditional houses and farmland that shape how the place looks and feels.
The settlement was called Saint Kosma and Damian until 1918, when it took its current name from signal drummers who worked in the region during medieval times. This link to drumming culture remains part of its identity.
The Chapel of Sveti Kriz shows the local baroque style that shaped the area. Its two preserved altars from the 19th century reflect the religious traditions that still matter to the community.
The village connects to nearby areas through a railway system that includes the Bubnjarci-Metlika bridge crossing the river. This rail connection makes it straightforward to reach and explore the surrounding region.
An abandoned railway building from 1900 still stands in the village, marking the time when a line was meant to connect Ljubljana and Karlovac under Austria-Hungary. This quiet structure tells the story of a railway past that shaped the region.
