The forests of Gorski Kotar are the densest in Croatia. They are all over the mountains spreading in the west of the continental part of Croatia. Tourists are mostly aware of the Croatian coast, so all this beauty is still pretty hidden and quite unexposed to the mass tourism. A beautiful place to ride.
The green grass valleys surrounded by the pine woods still harbour many wild animals, including bears that are also seen in towns from time to time. Unfortunately, their numbers are decreasing. Hunting is something I'll never understand.
Where is the pleasure in brutally killing an animal for trophy without even giving it a fair chance? In the old days, it might have been a need to kill and eat an animal for the whole village to survive the winter. Nowadays, it is usually a bunch of insecure fellows equipped with expensive state of the art scoped rifles looking for kicks and excusing their vile vice with the need for "a natural balance of aggressive species". Is it so hard to grasp the very fact that human is the most aggressive and dangerous species in the whole of nature? How comes we are still so far away from: "Live and let animals live, too"?
Anyway, let's enjoy this beautiful nature without dull thoughts. If you ever decide to let go of your worries and just be in a quiet place, this would be it! :)
Enjoy your day! :)
