Bakar: Vidikovac - vrh skijališta i početak skijaških staza

Tucked along the sheltered waters of Bakar Bay on the Kvarner coast, Bakar is a town whose character is shaped by steep limestone slopes and its deep natural harbour. Its compact historic core follows the narrow bay, while the port has long connected the settlement with the Adriatic’s trading routes. Above the town, the dry-stone terraces known as Bakarski prezidi recall a local wine-growing tradition; they are associated with Bakarska vodica, a traditional sparkling wine. Bakar became a free royal town in 1778 under Empress Maria Theresa, a status that reflects its former importance in the Habsburg lands.

The terrain of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County ranges from Adriatic islands and coastal bays in its southwest to forested highlands in Gorski Kotar to the northeast, giving the county a pronounced maritime-to-mountain character. Kvarner Bay links the port city of Rijeka with islands including Krk, Cres and Lošinj, while the Velebit Channel marks part of the coast farther south. Rijeka has long been Croatia’s principal seaport and was a European Capital of Culture in 2020. Inland, the wooded slopes and karst terrain of Gorski Kotar contrast sharply with the exposed shore and island settlements.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
