Karlovac, the town of four rivers
Karlovac was founded in 1579 as a six-pointed star fortress against the Ottomans, and the outline of the star can still be traced in the parks around the old centre. Four rivers meet here: the Kupa, the Korana, the Mrežnica and the Dobra. On the main square stand the plague column and the Church of the Holy Trinity, and on the hill above town, Dubovac Castle looks out over the vineyards and the plain.
Rastoke
In Slunj, about 55 km south of Karlovac, the Slunjčica river breaks into dozens of small falls and channels before it joins the Korana. Old wooden water mills and houses stand on the rocks between the streams, linked by footbridges, which has earned Rastoke the name of little Plitvice.
