Duga Resa - Vinica

Access to starting point:
We drive to Karlovec / Karlovac and continue towards Duga Resa. When we arrive in Duga Resa, at the intersection behind the NKL store we turn left. The road leads us through an underpass under the railway to a roundabout, where we turn right. We drive to the church of St. Anthony of Padua, which we see on the right. There we turn left and drive over the bridge over the Mrežnica river. We continue straight towards Vinica, we can park here by the road or continue further along the ascending road which curves, and when the asphalt ends there is space by the road for a few cars where we park.

Route description:
From the starting point we proceed straight along the road which leads us through a sparse forest then past a small fenced field into dense forest. Along the road are stations of the way of the cross. The road becomes steeper and narrower. It makes a bend in between and then we have a short walk along a level road and soon on the left we spot the Mladen Polović mountain hut from which we get some views towards Karlovac.
From the hut we continue straight into the forest. The road turns into a cart track and in 2 minutes we reach a junction where we continue slightly right. Left Mala Švarča. In three minutes walking along a gentle path we are at Vinica.
Description and photos refer to the condition in October 2025.
