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.
