Gacko polje, Limestone valley in Lika-Senj County, Croatia
Gacko polje stretches across 80 square kilometers between Male Kapele and Velebit mountain ranges, with elevations ranging from 425 to 481 meters.
The formation of this limestone valley occurred through tectonic movements and erosion processes that shaped the Dinaric Alps karst terrain over millions of years.
The local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices in the valley, cultivating potatoes and grains while raising sheep, cattle, and pigs on grazing lands.
The Zagreb-Ploče highway crosses the western section of the valley, connecting travelers to nearby towns including Otočac, which has 3,852 inhabitants.
The Gacka River system within the valley includes three protected springs, designated as geological monuments since 1973, supporting specific wetland ecosystems.
