OGULIN

A visit to Ogulin would not be complete without a visit to the beautiful Sabljaci lake, Šmit’s lake and the famous Fairytale Festival. Lake Sabljaci, which is an accumulation lake on the river Zagorska Mrežnica, is the eleventh largest lake in Croatia and is known as the “Ogulin Sea”. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the lake and the stunning views that provide a sense of relaxation and peace.

Šmit’s lake, located on the slopes of Velika Kapela, consists of two connected lakes – Small and Big Lake. The water in Small lake comes from the Rupečica sinkhole through a series of cracks. Then, across the shallows, the water passes into the Great Lake, where it sinks. In the lake and the nearby Rupečica cave, you can find endemic species such as manfish and lamprey. This lake is an oasis of peace and natural beauty that is definitely worth exploring.
