Discover Jakšići

When looking for hotels in Jakšići, you can tailor your trip to your interests in the surrounding area: nature-watching, routes of varying lengths, and cultural attractions each offer a different focus. Destinations range from the immediate surroundings to the wider Vrbovsko travel area. This makes it easy to decide in advance whether landscapes, outdoor activities, or culture will be the main focus of your stay.

Landscapes and nature in the surrounding area

In the wider travel area of Vrbovsko, Kamačnik is a protected landscape of significance. Its watercourse is 3.2 kilometres long. Nearby, the source of Kamačnik is part of the Natura 2000 network. Endemic subterranean crustaceans have been recorded there, including Monolistra sp. and Niphargus sp.

Lake Čogrljevo is near Moravice. It is fed by five small springs and dammed by the Vede waterfall. A path along the edge of a coniferous forest follows the springs. With a little patience and a sharp eye, you may also spot a brown trout there.

Walking and cycling routes

The Riblje–Lesci route is 2.6 kilometres long, with a stated walking time of 45 minutes. It runs directly alongside the Kupa. There is a spot where you can swim in summer. The route therefore combines a manageable walking distance with a possible swimming stop during the warmer months.

Two cycling routes differ in both length and difficulty rating: the Dobra–Lake Čogrljevo cycling route is 18.4 kilometres long, is rated easy, and ends in nearby Moravice. The Vrbovsko–Gomirje–Kamačnik route is 15.7 kilometres long and is rated moderate. These details provide a concrete basis for factoring each route’s length and difficulty rating into your day’s plans.

The Panova staza in Kamačnik offers a different kind of experience. This themed sensory and sound trail features five musical and educational instruments: a gong, xylophone, horn, bells, and a stream organ. Here, sound installations shape the trail, while the cycling routes are described primarily by their length and difficulty level.

Culture, literature, and crafts

The HPM Ivan Goran Kovačić Memorial Museum is located in the poet’s birthplace. Its permanent exhibition explores his life and work and is divided into five thematic sections. A visit to the museum thus connects the biographical setting with a thematically organised exhibition.

The Staza skulptura – Park mladih umjetnika Plemenitaš sculpture trail features 16 outdoor sculptures and can be visited year-round. A different cultural perspective is offered by the permanent exhibition in the gallery space of the City of Vrbovsko: it is devoted to the city’s heraldic heritage. Moravice is also home to the Orthodox Church of Saint George the Great Martyr, dating from 1900.

The Plemenitaš workshop offers an insight into contemporary ceramics, with a collection of 250 works. It can be visited during the summer season or by prior arrangement. The workshop also offers its premises for excursions, summer schools in nature, and anti-stress workshops; prior arrangements may be needed for these programmes.

Getting around

Moravice is a nearby reference point, situated on the Lujzinska Road and the Zagreb–Rijeka railway line. If you plan to travel by train, check the timetable for your travel date. In the wider travel area, the state road connecting Rijeka and Zagreb runs via the Lujzijana. It passes through Orehovica, Gornje Jelenje, Delnice, Skrad, and Vrbovsko on its way to Karlovac.
