Mountain House Skrad in Gorski Kotar

Gorski Kotar is a mountainous region located in the heart of Croatia. It is just river Kupa that is dividing it from Slovenia on the north side of the region and if you are travelling from the south, before you enter Gorski Kotar you will go through Lika.

On the west side, there is the beautiful city of Rijeka located 44 km away from the center of Gorski Kotar. Zagreb, the capital city is only 124 km away which is an hour and a half if you decide to take the motorway which makes Gorski Kotar a very important part of Croatia as it is connected perfectly with all the other regions.
