Tips from the Community
The real pearl of this region is Lake Sabljaci, an accumulation lake formed on the course of the Zagorska Mrežnica. Many people call this eleventh largest lake in Croatia "Ogulin Sea" (170 ha). If you look at it from Prelesje above the village of Desmerice, it really looks like a big sea bay.

For decades, there has been an idea to build a statue of a worker in the Tounj quarry due to the 140 years of tradition and exploitation of technical building stone in Tounj. In the not-so-distant history, many of our fathers, grandfathers and relatives lost their lives doing this arduous work as miners-workers and rock-climbers on the quarry floor, climbing on ropes and placing explosives in the rock until there was no machinery for drilling stone, etc.

It was mentioned for the first time in 1481 under the name Thouni, as the property of Prince Stjepan Frankopan. This lineage of the Croatian noble family ruled it for several decades, only to be abandoned over time. Not long after, Tounj joined the military, i.e. the Krajina administration, and soon began to settle again due to the Turkish threat, especially after the construction of the Karlovac Zvijezda. With the end of numerous wars, the local forts become less attractive, so the remains of the old town of Toun have only been preserved. With the development of traffic connections and modern tourism, people began to rediscover this region in the 20th century.

Nice bike ride between mainly trees, quiet, and height differences. We skipped the loop with gravel.
