The Lika Region: Nature’s Pharmacy and Wilderness
Lika is an idyllic, mountainous region located in the Croatian hinterland, not far from the Adriatic coast. According to local
tradition, the region earned its name from the word "LIK," which translates from the local dialect as "medicine" or "remedy." This refers to the abundance of medicinal and wild herbs found
throughout the area.
Other theories suggest that the name originates from the Greek word "LYKOS," meaning "wolf," highlighting the impressive
wildlife that inhabits this landscape.
Geography and Landmarks
Borders: Lika is bordered by the Velebit Mountains to the west and the Bosnian highlands to the east.
Waterways: It is the source of the well-known river "UNA."
National Treasures: The region is home to many sights, including the world-famous "Plitvice Lakes." Notably, Lika hosts the

Your Front-Row Seat in the Croatian Wilderness
With our location at Lika Negro, the entire region is practically at your feet. Craving a bit of culture? Take a trip to the nearby Bosnian town of Bihać or explore the historic
city of Knin. If you're after a natural spectacle, the famous Plitvice Lakes are an absolute must—and for those who prefer it a bit wilder, you can follow in the legendary footsteps
of Winnetou.
The best part is the contrast: even though we are tucked away in the mountains, you can reach the sea in just 50 minutes. Nothing stands in the way of a spontaneous beach day or an
espresso in the charming alleys of Zadar.
