Jablanac, Coastal settlement in Lika-Senj County, Croatia
The village of Jablanac sits between Stara Vlaka and Smokovača coves, with stone houses along narrow streets leading to a natural harbor.
Originally named Ablana, the settlement gained status as a free royal town in the 13th century before experiencing attacks from Turkish forces in the 1300s.
The Church of St. Nicholas, constructed in the 12th century, reflects the religious traditions and architectural methods of medieval Croatian coastal communities.
Travelers can reach Jablanac via the Adriatic Highway, with ferry services to Rab Island now operating from nearby Stinica, one kilometer to the north.
The Miroslav Hirtz mountain hut stands 26 meters above sea level on a cliff, connected to the beach by 122 stone steps.
