A mountainous region in
Croatia, right between the coastal area (
Dalmatia and
Istria) and the northern region. The weather is impossible and the roads that go through the Gorski Kotar, a major route from north to south Croatia are extremely dangerous and a cause of an instant-death of many a foreigner who thinks he can drive a
stick and a one-lane per direction curvy road with no fence and slippery ice and crashed cars all over the place.
Also, the place where
Nikola Tesla lived his childhood and his last days.
