Karlobag - Horvátország

Àltalános információl Karlobag pihenéséhez Karlobag

 KARLOBAG, a town and port in the Velebit
 Channel, in the region of the Velebit
 slopes, opposite the island of Pag, with
 the 1.8-km wide Velebit Channel between
 them. At the end of the last century the
 island was called Bag. The development of
 Karlobag is linked with the passes Ostarija
 (Ostarijska Vrata) and Baske Ostarije
 (955 m), through which the road to Gospic
 runs at a height of 928 m. Together with
 the Vratnik Saddle above Senj, this is the
 lowest pass over Velebit and the most suitable connection between the central part of the Lika region and the sea. The favourable traffic connections with the hinterlands gave rise to creation of settlements already in Roman times.

Chief occupations are fishery and tourism. The town lies at the intersection of the main road Rijeka - Zadar (M2, E65) and the regional road Karlobag - Gospic.
