Mountainous Croatia, Mountain region in central Croatia
The region spans across the Dinaric Alps and encompasses two main areas, Lika and Gorski Kotar, with numerous peaks reaching above 1500 meters elevation.
The territorial boundaries of Mountainous Croatia emerged from medieval changes when parts of the Kingdom of Croatia were taken by Venice and Ottoman forces.
The region maintains numerous castles and manor houses throughout its territory, representing architectural elements from different historical periods of Croatian development.
The area experiences cold winters with substantial snowfall, making it necessary for visitors to carry appropriate winter gear and check road conditions regularly.
Five of Croatia's eight highest mountains are located in this region, which also contains extensive karst formations creating specific underground water systems.
