Things to do around Mali Lug: the Kupa spring, Risnjak National Park, swimming in the Kupa, Snežnik Castle, viewpoints, mushrooms and forest trails.
Mali Lug lies in the Čabar area, the westernmost part of Gorski kotar, right on the Slovenian border. Around you are dense fir and beech forests, mountain meadows, clear streams and the Kupa river — and in summer it is about ten degrees cooler than on the coast.
approx. 20–25 kmOne of the most beautiful springs in Croatia: the Kupa rises from a turquoise pool at the bottom of a steep forested basin. The trail starts in Razloge, and the whole area belongs to Risnjak National Park — the climb to the Risnjak summit (1,528 m) starts from Crni Lug.
approx. 25 kmPebble beaches along the Kupa at Brod na Kupi and downstream — cold, crystal-clear water and the shade of the forest. Perfect for summer afternoons, rafting and canoeing.
approx. 30 kmA white Renaissance castle with a moat and park, across the border in Slovenia (via Prezid). A lovely half-day trip, with Lake Cerknica nearby.
approx. 5–15 kmThe road towards Čabar and Tršće offers a string of viewpoints over the valley and the Slovenian mountains. The light is best in the late afternoon.
from the houseThe forest starts right behind the fence. In autumn there are porcini and chanterelles to pick, and bear tracks are a common sight on muddy trails — Gorski kotar is home to bears, wolves and lynx.
approx. 35–45 kmLake Lokve, Lake Bajer near Fužine and the Platak ski resort with views of the Kvarner Bay — for winter days and summer walks by the water.
Meadows full of primroses and violets, the first warm days on the terrace.
Swimming in the Kupa, evenings by the fire pit, cool nights under a blanket.
Mushrooms, the colours of the beech forest, the stove lit from the first cold day.
Snow, silence, skiing at Platak and sledging in the garden.
Approximate driving distances from the house. The road to Mali Lug is paved to the door and cleared in winter.
