Zoran informed us this area had served as something of a 'buffer' for Karlovac during the 1991-95 war. Utter destruction of countless buildings, memorialized here with a few of them left standing and surrounded with military equipment used during the conflict. A war that took place not long ago, and what most Americans would associate the Balkan states with, I'm glad we have traveled here to witness this history as well as see for ourselves how far the entire region has risen. A testament to the strong wills of the people that call Croatia home.
